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.

She's Not Going to Run
Bianca Parks is the face of the student-run Eyewitness News in Portland, Oregon. She's the person everyone sees on the nightly newscast, the most recognizable face — more than the editor-in-chief, more than anyone. She describes herself as a Blacktina — both a Black woman and a Latina. And she's been the target of hate and abuse online since she first walked up on the anchor set and smiled at the camera.
The online hate has been getting worse. And then? Last night, someone doxed her. They published her personal information online, including her class schedule. Now everyone knows where to find her — not just online, but in the real world.
But if they think she's going to cower in fear? They're wrong. Bianca Parks is coming for them. And the EWN staff will back her play no matter where it takes them.
Book 9 in the Newsroom PDX political thrillers pulled from today's headlines.
Foul language. Some sex. Lots of politics. What do you expect when it's Portland?
