Linden wrote the first book ever written about the stalking of ordinary people, To Have Or To Harm (Warner, 1994) and its expanded version Surviving a Stalker: Everything You Need to Know to Keep Yourself Safe (Marlowe & Co., 2000). In order to extend the possibilities for reaching and helping stalking victims, she launched the www.stalkingvictims.com website in 1997 as a place for survivors and others to come for community, information, and support. Linden started the non-profit organization Stalking Survivors Sanctuary & Solutions as a way to continue to provide information and services to the victims of stalking and to the many people seeking more information about this frightening and potentially life-threatening phenomenon.

Stalking Survivors’ Sanctuary & Solutions Board of Directors

Our mission is to educate people about stalking and how to cope with it, and to foster understanding about the problem’s dynamics and possible solutions. This will be accomplished through a series of publications, documentaries and videos directed to professionals, survivors, employees, and the public at large. Teen curricula and video games focusing on appropriate vs. inappropriate relationships and communication skills will be developed. Educational materials about the prevention of stalking and its close relative domestic violence will focus on developing healthy relationships, learning how to set boundaries, and knowing the warning signs of a potentially dangerous situation.
