Life in Focus

Joe Castro was the newsroom stoner — every college newsroom needs one, his editor quipped, and even he thought it was funny. Then his three younger siblings ran away from their abusive stepfather and ended up on his doorstep. Well, on the newsroom's doorstep.
And now he needed to be something more than just the newsroom stoner.
Book 15 in the series of political thrillers set on a downtown Portland college campus. Foul language, some sex, lots of politics. What did you expect?
"A dystopian future from today's headlines."

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.
