He'd been treasuring my picture right at the front of his wallet fold for two or three years. Sweet guy, though.

I think that police are more aware now, than they have ever been, that stalking is a serious crime. It can escalate and people get hurt and even die at the hands of their stalker. Also, good for you drawing on a personal experience for your novel. We all do that, don't we???<br /><br />Congrats to Bish on her book and making use of all that local knowledge in a readable way.<br /><br />Congrats to Stina on writing about a subject that needs a larger light shining on it.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137802664622571509.post-12926216241841557922014-01-15T09:40:26.578-05:002014-01-15T09:40:26.578-05:00I haven't been stalked, but I've known peo...I haven't been stalked, but I've known people who were.
