Talkeetna: The Series, Books 1 & 2, plus a bonus short story
About this ebook
Paul Kitka likes women, fast cars, and his job as a lieutenant in Alaska State Patrol. Unfortunately, life isn't quite that simple.
Candace Marshall isn't sure what she likes. Years married to an abusive husband does that. She likes Alaska, though, so that's a start — a rocky start.
The e-book set includes the first two books of Talkeetna and a bonus short story.
Book 1: Everybody Lies
Candace Marshall came to Alaska to escape her abusive husband. Then her abusive husband ends up dead on her cabin floor. Paul Kitka seems to believe her when she says she didn't do it. But then, who did? When your ex happens to be a lobbyist hated by everyone in Alaska, it turns out there is no end of suspects.
Book 2: Somebody's Secrets
Paul Kitka is headed home to Sitka, Alaska, for the first time in 18 years. His brother is accused of murder, and his mother needs him home. To save his brother, he may have to expose the secrets that have haunted him since childhood — secrets people have killed to protect.
Candace Marshall, with a brand new pilot's license, is happy to fly Paul home. Sitka is supposed to be beautiful. It'll be fun, she thinks.
And deadly. Someone forgot to tell her that.
Dead Tourist
(A bonus short story.)
It's Candace's first winter in Alaska. When her cabin fever makes Paul crazy, he suggests she needs a railroad trip to Seward. It's a beautiful train ride to a beautiful coastal port. How much trouble can she get into? He forgot who he was talking to.
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!
