PDX Portland 2022 Winter
ამ ელწიგნის შესახებ
The job of a newspaper is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable — Finley Peter Dunne.
It feels like Portland staggers from crisis to crisis, and the Eyewitness News staggers along with the city — trying to cover the challenges the city faces, while dealing with their own personal crises too. It's not easy — just ask Blair Williams. She's been hiding her brains behind a flippy, cheerleader persona. But now, EWN needs her to step up and become the cutthroat reporter she really is. But deep inside, Blair knows that nobody likes a smart girl.
Will being the smart woman be any different? She's about to find out.
This is the sixth omnibus in Newsroom PDX, a pollical suspense series about a college newsroom in downtown Portland during some of the most tumultuous times the city has ever faced.
Foul language. Some sex. Lots of politics. Rather like the city itself.
This omnibus includes Smart Girl, Hero, and A Story Well Told.

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!
