She started her career by working free-of-charge at a small Indianapolis, Indiana newspaper named the Recorder and then as a freelancer with the news department of WTLC, a radio station there. She moved on to the City News Bureau of Chicago as a police reporter in 1998, a few months before the 100-year-old news wire service shut down and became a news service for the Chicago Tribune. However, the experience at CNB was valuable.
She was hired at the Chicago Defender in 1999 as the crime reporter and went on to cover several beats including the court and health beats. She began a position Alliance News in the year 2000, with Lloyd Weston as her editor. Ms. McCloud covered Cook County Courts, so she worked inside the media room at the courthouse on 26 and California.
It was on the train ride into the city that Eighteen Months was born. It grew out of a diary she kept while riding the South Shore in to work. However, the 112-page paper back is a work of fiction. Both books may be purchased here: http://stores.lulu.com/ljonesmccloudlihat lebih sedikit
