Yes, I know we already did an Ali Vali show. But this time Ali is our super special guest! Let’s see, we talked about Balance of Forces, the Cain Casey series, Harry & Desi, floating corpses, and so much more.

Ms. Vali graciously agreed to a book give away so please email your answer to this question and you’ll get a signed copy of Balance of Forces sent directly to you by the author! And the person who asked on the c-spot forum didn’t actually beg but I would have! Here’s the question: What was the name Asra used during her lifetime in Venice? All answers must be received no later than midnight cst April 20th. The winner will be announced on the next show. Email your entry to cocktailhour.show at gmail.com. Please don’t post your answers anywhere, only emailed entries will be considered. Thanks!

In addition to some great conversation, Ali and I enjoyed a Madras – Andy’s still not drinking. GCLS should be fun! Here’s how you make it:

1 1/2 oz vodka
4 oz cranberry juice
1 oz orange juice
1 lime wedge

Pour all ingredients (except lime wedge) into a highball glass over ice. Add the lime wedge and serve.

If you’d like to reach out to Ali, you can shoot her an email at terrali20 at yahoo.com.

Hope you enjoy the show!
