Stories We Tell: A Newsroom PDX prequel
About this ebook
There was no doubt in Cage Washington's mind. The student-run Eyewitness News had to cover the Black Lives Matter protests in the streets of downtown Portland. He stood with his video camera in hand, and waited for his best friend and editor-in-chief to make up his mind.
Cage had been down there at the protests last night. He watched the cops fire on protesters. Watched protesters break into the federal building. His own eyes were streaming from the tear gas. He was ordering gas masks for his videographer staff today — if he could find any in town.
"Yes," Ryan Matthews said. "Cover it." He smiled wryly at his friend. "Are we journalists or aren't we?"
"We are now," Cage said.
Join EWN in Newsroom PDX a new adult, political suspense series about Portland's protests, the pandemic, and college. Foul language, some sex, a bit kinky, lots of politics — the series and the city.

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.
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!
