Few things are more fun about writing contemporary romance novels than creating truly evil, nasty, vile antagonists. So when it comes to mean, nasty and downright evil, Craig Walker from The Stalker, takes the prize. He even scares me a little.
A writer by profession, Craig met Rachel while working for a regional lifestyle magazine. Rachel considered Craig a mentor, but he had much bigger plans for her, and they went well beyond being her mentor. Those plans, however, were suddenly foiled when Rachel accepted a promotion he felt she didn’t deserve. He had no idea she had even applied for the position, and he reacted with rage. Rachel quickly ended the friendship, but Craig had no intention of letting Rachel go. He began stalking her, and it continued long after the magazine went out of business. Craig wants Rachel, and he intends to have her at all costs, whether she wants him or not. At long last, he’s finally come up with plan for getting his way with her, once and for all.
Craig is loosely based on a man who once cyber stalked and harassed a friend of mine.
