Ryan Matthews said his memories were like a kaleidoscope โ all bright shards, that one moment made a bright image, and fell apart the next. And that was before someone hit him over the head with a sap and scrambled his brain.
He likened it to a filing cabinet that had been tipped over and now all the papers must be resorted and filed. And as his best friend said, they hadn't been all that well organized to begin with.
It felt like there was more than one Ryan Matthews. And at least one of them wanted to take over and run his life. Ryan remembered that Ryan. He'd been a ruthless little bastard. And if he won โย Ryan at 20 โย Ryan stood to lose a lot of things he valued about his life now.
Starting with his wife and son.

A collection of short stories in the Newsroom PDX series that covers the summer between book 11, Memory, and book 12, Hunted. It includes Fire Drill, also available separately. EWN thinks of Ryan as their own private soap opera โย and that's what they do know. What they don't know? Well, that's what short stories are for. Caution: The short stories may have more triggers and/or sex than the series itself. You've been warned!

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 โ a field that liked people who asked questions!
As a reporter and editor, she worked in Alaska, Oregon, Idaho, Texas, and Washington, D. C. โ 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 โย that doesnโt faze her either.
You can follow her on Facebook at ljbreedlove. Best place to find her โ besides a local coffee shop โ is at ljbreedlove.com. You can sign up for her email newsletter there!
