Tell us about Breach of Trust?
Breach of Trust is the 1st book in the Call of Duty Series. Paige Rogers is a former CIA agent who lost all she treasured seven years ago when her entire team was killed in a covert mission. She blames their leader—Daniel Keary—whom Paige believes betrayed them. Disillusioned and afraid for her life, she disappeared and started a new life as a small-town librarian. But when Keary announces his candidacy for governor of her state, he comes after Paige to ensure that she won’t ruin his bid for office. He threatens everything she holds dear, and Paige must choose between the life of hiding that has become her refuge . . . or risking everything in one last, desperate attempt to right old wrongs.
And for those who read the back cover:
Paige Rogers survived every CIA operative’s worst nightmare.A covert mission gone terribly wrong.A betrayal by the one man she thought she could trust.Forced to disappear to protect the lives of her loved ones, Paige has spent the last several years building a quiet life as a small-town librarian.

Do you think a CIA operative can be a Christian too?
I believe that many of us are called to careers that we don’t understand.
Who is the most important influence in your life besides God?
I would say my husband. He’s my best cheerleader and my worst critic. 
He also handles the business side of writing for me. We’re a great team - in my opinion.
