Meet Karen Cunningham, an antagonist I created for a short story that stars my archaeologist heroine Latonya Coleman. A wealthy English socialite and heiress to the fortune of her family’s corporate empire, Karen has a fondness for “collecting” ancient artifacts, which has put her at odds with Latonya’s mission to return those artifacts to the tombs and temples where they belong. Furthermore, Karen also resents Latonya for winning the heart of Scott Jones, whom Karen hoped to woo in order to exploit his archaeological knowledge for her own ends. Think of Karen as an old nemesis for Latonya.
