Write what must not be forgotten — Isabel Allende
Portland, Oregon. Protests, police brutality, white supremacists — and, of course, the pandemic.
The series Newsroom PDX tells the stories of a student-run newsroom faced with covering it all.
Meet Ryan, the player haunted by a woman who left him.
Cage, a videographer who sees himself as a storyteller but others look to as a hero.
And Emily, uncertain about herself, but forced to take charge when the pandemic hits the newsroom.
It's a newsroom full of diverse people, who never could color between the lines, facing the biggest challenges in a lifetime.
Some sex. Bad language. Lots of politics. This is Portland, after all.
An omnibus of the first four books in this series of political suspense novels, Newsroom PDX. Includes: Stories We Tell, Choose, Don't Go, and Hold Me.
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.
