Slum Beautiful
Slum beautiful is a remarkable, straight forward, poetic and eye stretching memoir of KyDeja Morgan’s (Slum Beautiful) struggling life. In her first 28 years of life she was molested, practiced blasphemous acts, robbed, sold drugs, used drugs, prostituted, and arrested and almost prosecuted for the murders of both her mother and brother. Like her other siblings, Slum was raised in a dysfunctional family that practiced open sex, used drugs, gambled and treated their home as a hangout for other addicts. Through her avowed journey in life, it would take Slum 28 years and 11 months, along with becoming homeless to find the beauty in her slum (mind, body, soul and surroundings.) she was able to...
My Body
A Conservative Voice 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.
Every Love Story is a Ghost Story
David Foster Wallace is to contemporary literature what Kurt Cobain is to music. He died young enough for his promise and his achievements to solidify into a legend. For many, he became someone worth reading, revering, following. How had a teen tennis prodigy turned ace philosophy student turned novelist managed to become a generation-defining star? And how painful was that process for him? What was it that he stood for that chimed with so many? And how much did his, and his country's, addictions defeat him? D. T. Max was determined to find out, and this scrupulous and revealing biographical study, which draws on conversations with those closest to Wallace and on extensive archive material, is the haunting result.
Seen
He's Everybody's Kid Brother Corey Washington's oldest brother had been the advertising manager at the student-run Eyewitness News in Portland. His older brother Cage had been a videographer for years, and everyone hero-worshipped him — including Corey. Corey was the computer systems manager for EWN, and everyone treated him like their own kid brother. He didn't really mind. But now he's the team leader at a journalism conference. His team is locked up in jail, he's been kicked out of the hotel, and it's time to step up. He's not the kid brother anymore. Book 13 in the new-adult political suspense series Newsroom PDX about the students who run a newsroom in Portland, Oregon. Foul language, some sex, lots of politics. Welcome to Portland.
Be the Change
He Doesn't Feel Like a Hero White supremacy groups have targeted the student-run Eyewitness News for their coverage of the Black Lives Matter protests. Protests become riots; death threats become real attempts. And the EWN staff doesn't know who they can trust to protect them — their own campus security seems suspect. Cage Washington knows something has to be done. But what will the solution cost him, his friends, his coworkers, even EWN itself? Book 6 in the new-adult suspense series Newsroom PDX set in Portland during the turbulent times of today's headlines. Some sex, foul language, lots of politics — because it is Portland, after all.
Do the Job
Just Do the Job Will Bristol never intended to be the editor-in-chief of Eyewitness News in downtown Portland. He had planned to coast through his senior year as an investigative reporter, build his portfolio and go out to a newspaper somewhere to start his career. When there was no one else to do it but an unqualified white supremacist who wanted to dismantle the newsroom piece by piece, Will knew he had to step up. He was terrified he wasn't good enough. And he white supremacists that had infiltrated the university campus security weren't done. Not by a long shot. Book 8 in Newsroom PDX, a new adult suspense series, pulled from today's headlines. Foul language. Some sex. Lots of politics. Just like Portland.
Past Lives
Who Killed the Man Everyone Hated? The university president has breakthrough COVID, and everyone seems to see it as a chance to gain power — even if it's for a day or two. So, the interim Vice President for Student Affairs, who is also in the hospital with breakthrough COVID, and the faculty advisor for the student-run Eyewitness News decide the students should do it. Students in Control Day, or SIC Day. Only Ryan Matthews would manage that acronym, Cinder thought sourly. And only he could manage to put her, the president of the Student Senate, in the university president's chair. She avoided the limelight. And this would shine a spotlight on her — one she didn't want. And like most of Ryan Matthews' ideas, it snowballs from there. Until somebody dies, and police are looking at her — exactly the scrutiny she'd been avoiding. Book 14 in the Newsroom PDX political suspense series. Foul language. Some sex. Lots of politics. Welcome to Portland.
