Customer Reviews

Lyn Knows her Subject!

I ran across this book while writing my latest novel. One of my main characters was being stalked by a serial killer and I needed to know how stalkers operate. Lyn's book told me all I needed to know. I highly recommend it. --Skip Coryell-- Author of "Blood in the Streets: Concealed Carry and the OK Corral" Blood in the Streets

Valuable and Meticulous Resource on Stalking

This book is a well written guide for anyone involved in the trauma of stalking--and not just the kind you see in those lame TV movies. In addition to providing victims with checklists, how-tos and what-not-to-dos, this would also be a good book for anyone who who knows someone in trouble--significant others, co-workers, family and friends. Bates' opinions are backed up with no-nonsense reasoning and this would also be an excellent book for anyone who writes fiction and wants to use a stalking plot. Each chapter builds the "story" of stalking, from recognizing its signs to coming away safe and each is presented in a useful way, highlighting action items the victim can take to stay safe.
