Deep Cover: Texas political suspense
Mayelana nale ebook
Katy Williams is learning how to edit without using her hands. Her wrists are still damaged from the arson fire last month. It's left her in pain and cranky. Although her reporters at the Plains City Gazette swear they can't tell the difference — she's always been cranky.
Funny. She thinks the arson fire may have damaged her sense of humor too.
It's Texas, 1988. The arson fire has exposed a white militia compound that's growing out in the east Texas pine country. The FBI want in to take a look. And the agent they're sending in?
John Williams, her brother.

L.J. Breedlove is a former journalist writing mysteries and thrillers about what she knows: complicated people, small towns, big cities, cops, reporters, politicians, assorted bad guys.
"I write about religion and politics. About race and gender. I believe in the journalism axiom: Comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable. To which the labor organizer Mother Jones was supposed to have added: And in general raise hell. That works for me."
L.J. grew up on a cattle ranch and then went to college to be an oceanographer. She decided getting seasick was not a good trait for an oceanographer to have, and discovered journalism instead — a field that liked people who asked questions!
As a reporter and editor, she worked in Alaska, Oregon, Idaho, Texas, Washington, D. C. Then she got homesick for the Pacific Northwest and came home to work with college newspapers and teach journalism.
She is an over-educated, bleeding heart liberal with a penchant for heroes such as Jack Reacher. She isn't particularly bothered by the inconsistency.
You can follow her on Twitter @ljbreedlove for her political stuff, or on Facebook ljbreedlove for her writing life. Best place to find her -- besides a local coffee shop -- is at ljbreedlove.com. You can sign up for her email newsletter there. Or read her blog, snark included, and check out all her books.
