Your family has grown since our last interview in 2008. Tell us a little how your newest addition has changed the dynamics of your family. Daniel joined us in December and is a delight.

Sworn to Protect by DiAnn Mills
I’m not quite through this one yet, but I really loved DiAnn’s last book in this series called Breach of Trust. I loved the story and the characters jumped off the page. Sworn to Protect has the same strong female protagonist and an interesting story line about a border control agent and illegal Mexicans, but…
