When the college basketball team traveled to Boise for a Thanksgiving tournament, the sports editor thought she did everything right: social distancing, testing before the trip, masks, no parties.
But no one told her, or the team, or the alumni aboard the trip the truth: a coach came down with COVID and had to be left behind on a ventilator in Boise.
The COVID numbers are rising in Portland. At the university.
And now it's in the newsroom.
The new editors at Eyewitness News in Portland have a lot going on: run one of the largest newsrooms in the city, all done by college students. Cover the nightly Black Lives Matter protests downtown. Start a new personal relationship. But all of that takes a back seat when the pandemic comes home.
The university and the city need the information EWN can provide. If they can keep enough people healthy to get the job done.
Stay safe. Get the story. Sometimes you can't do both.
This is book 3 in the new-adult political suspense series, Newsroom PDX.
Some sex, a bit kinky. Bad language. Lots of politics. Heartbreak. It's Portland.
Om forfatteren
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.
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 any 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, and Washington, D. C. — places that have become the sites for her books. 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. Some of her thrillers have werewolves in them — that doesn’t faze her either.
You can follow her on Facebook at ljbreedlove. Best place to find her — besides a local coffee shop — is at ljbreedlove.com. You can sign up for her email newsletter there!
