It seems a frequent question these days about evangelical women: Why do they stay? My friends ask, my followers on Twitter ask.
Why don't they leave?
My answer: Where would they go?
But it wasn't an answer that seemed satisfy to anyone. So I decided to devote the second political thriller featuring Mac Davis, a Seattle cop reporter, to answering that question.
You can read the book as just a good thriller -- I hope it is.
But for Janet Andrews, Mac's editor, the questions, Why do they stay? Where would they go?, are a matter of life and death.

A visit to the garden

Portland’s Lan Su Chinese gardenis still thriving. Don’t miss it.

One of my favorite places in Portland is the Lan Su Chinese garden in Chinatown — Old Town, the city marketers are trying to call the area now, but Old Town is south of Burnside, Chinatown is north to an old Portlander like me. When you pass through the red Chinese gates, you know you’re there.

It was always kind of a seedy place. A l

Alpha Female by L.J. Breedlove
"I liked this story a lot. I would give the book nine stars out of ten if I could though, due to its need of a good editor. I read a lot, but I read slow, so I see all the words that are missing, misused, have the wrong tense, mistakenly repeated, or " Read more of this review »
Alpha Female by L.J. Breedlove
"Different story

I’m impressed with this story. It’s different than most I’ve read. I really enjoyed book 1. The lead character is female; she is a character with a good head on her shoulders, not whiny, or dramatic. That’s most often not the case for " Read more of this review »
Alpha Female by L.J. Breedlove
"pleasantly surprising

This is such a unique approach and I’ve certainly never read it before. I think the FMC feels a little too instantly on point. But women are very capable, and the FMC exemplifies that.

My only negative comment is that I don’t thi" Read more of this review »
