LaRain Vickers began writing for therapeutic reasons following an injury, and inspiration just kept coming! Her first novel, The Jewelry, introduced the ‘Tanner Security Agency’. After writing Cat of Serene Valley she decided it would make a great series and continued with Jocie and now Sheila. She derived a lot of information for this novel on dog handlers and their trainers from her husband Bradd. He served in Vietnam as a dog handler and he gives credit to his dog for his coming back home alive. Rainy loves the combination of romance and suspense, which satisfies multiple facets of her creative mind. The heavy sprinkling of suspense and the many twists and turns in her story lines keeps readers asking for more. Rainy and Bradd live on a 400-acre beef and forestry farm in upstate New York along with her service dog Chipper. She’s also a visual artist and occasionally transforms her sketches into dimensional stained- glass art pieces, which have been shown in several galleries.

…Sick! He is definitely Sick!
Sheila’s love of German Shepherds started in her childhood and continued to influence her choice of careers; first as a dog handler for the military, and again, working at the ‘Tanner Security Agency’ in Texas helping Mike to train the security and guard dogs needed for the agency. Two months ago, Mike moved to the new training facility in Kentucky. She met her ex-boyfriend three months ago and after the first few dates decided he wasn’t really what she had been looking for in a long-term relationship. He was tall and handsome, but there was just something strange about him. He had a cruel streak and he was way too possessive to suit her.
Young and sassy Sheila has a temper to match her fiery red hair and her ex-boyfriend is on the receiving end. Unable to make him understand that ’NO’ means exactly that, she tries to start a new life in Serene Valley with the ‘Tanner Security Agency’. Can her new ‘family’ and the dogs she trains, protect her from the madman that wants to possess her? Enticing and suspenseful, Sheila of Serene Valley is a perfect blend of romance and intrigue.
Excerpt from book: The doorbell rang, and a sleepy-eyed Sheila made her way toward it. She was still in her pajamas, so she glanced through the peephole in the door to see who rang it. She couldn’t see anyone. She ran her fingers lightly through her flaming locks of hair as she cautiously opened the door, leaving the security chain in place. There was a package on the top step…oh no, not again. Sheila unlatched the door chain and opened the door slowly. She looked around first and seeing no one nearby, she reached down and picked up the familiar looking package and brought it into her apartment. She pushed the door shut with her foot and sat down on her sofa after placing it on her coffee table. She opened it and knew immediately who it was from even though it didn’t contain a card. She pushed it aside, “Sick! He is definitely sick!” It was more dead roses, but this time there was a bloodied knife to go with them. She walked back to the door and put the chain back in place. Then she made sure the security alarm was reset
