Catherine Seipp hears the Miami Herald's Tropical Life section won't mention
Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez's "Make Him Look Good" -- a novel set in Miami -- because of bad blood between the former LATer (at left) and Tropical Life columnist
Lydia Martin. A Herald staffer tells Seipp: "
Shelley Acoca, the Tropical Life editor who's a close pal of Lydia, imposed a complete blackout coverage of the book. Ordinarily we would have done a phone interview or something like that to run on the day of her book-signing here."
