Meeting Minutes

Old Business:

Marilyn Victor asked for more member input in the newsletter. Feel free to submit book
reviews, conference notes, information on upcoming conventions, etc. There will be a
question emailed each month. Answer if you can and responses will be in the newsletter.

New Business:

A workshop on editing is tentatively set for June 1. It will probably be held at the
Common Root (formerly Soba’s on the corner of 26th and Lyndale).

A reminder that anyone interested is welcome to adjourn to the French Meadow after the
meeting for continued conversation and possibly dessert.

The discussion book this month was Stalemate by Iris Johansen. The protagonist is a
forensic sculptor working on skull reconstruction. This entry in the series had many
subplots, CIA operatives, and gun runners. Johansen’s books work off an ensemble cast
with different characters taking the lead. There were mixed reactions to this novel.
