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.

A Mac Davis Thriller
|
IT'S EVERY COP'S WORST NIGHTMARE
Seattle Police Detective Joe Dunbar knew he'd screwed up big time, maybe even fatally. He swallowed hard, followed by a deep breath to steady himself. He'd managed to dodge the gunfire coming from the dark and nearly derelict house on Queen Anne. But he was trapped, now. He had already called for dispatch for backup. Shouldn't they should be here by now?
Something cold settled in his stomach.
They weren't coming, he thought. He had nightmares like this. They weren't coming.
He considered his options, and then he sighed: hell of a thing, when a cop had to call a reporter for backup because his own had abandoned him.
"Mac," he said softly into his phone. "It's Joe Dunbar. I need help."
Book 4 in the series of Mac Davis thrillers, featuring a Marine turned cop reporter in Seattle.
