My Body: New-adult political suspense
About this ebook
Luke Kent had come to the student-run Eyewitness News in downtown Portland with a chip on his shoulder. He freely admitted it: he thought EWN was a bunch of ignorant liberals who were going to hell if they didn't repent. And he told his boss that the first day of class. She'd just laughed and asked if he was staying or going.
He stayed. How could he not? These liberals flakes were the first people to accept that he was blind and wanted to write sports. The first to argue with him rather than say he shouldn't argue at all. He now had his own radio show where they did just that, in fact. He even debated the faculty advisor — on critical race theory, and wasn't that a hoot? And no hard feelings afterwards, either.
And then the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
Book 4 in PDX Year 3, the 20th book in the Newsroom PDX books. Warning: triggers, foul language, some sex, lots of politics. It's Portland.
About the author
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.
