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.
"I write about religion and politics. About race and gender. I believe in the journalism axiom: Comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable. To which the labor organizer Mother Jones was supposed to have added: And in general raise hell. That works for me."
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 an 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, Washington, D. C. Then 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.
You can follow her on Twitter @ljbreedlove for her political stuff, or on Facebook ljbreedlove for her writing life. Best place to find her -- besides a local coffee shop -- is at ljbreedlove.com. You can sign up for her email newsletter there. Or read her blog, snark included, and check out all her books.

Newroom PDX short stories

Opening Pandora's Box
Ryan Matthews had a standard answer to questions about his past. He'd been adopted by an older couple when he was 10. They loved him, and he loved them, and they probably didn't deserve the wild teen he'd been.
But that answer was beginning to seem a little thin. He had unanswered questions. And lately he had nightmares that seemed more like memories — memories that didn't fit that narrative at all.
So who was Ryan Matthews, really? And why were there drawings of him — erotic drawings of him — in the chest in his adopted parents' bedroom? Something was buried deep in his memories, and it was leaking out.
A collection of short stories in the Newsroom PDX series. EWN thinks of Ryan as their own private soap opera — and that's what they do know. What they don't know? Well, that's what short stories are for. Enjoy. Caution: The short stories may have more triggers and/or sex than the series itself. You've been warned!
