The Story Behind This Book

Jewels was written first as novella for a Space Opera anthology contest that Samhain Publishing put out a call for submissions. It didn't make it but I took the rejection as a stepping stone and expanded Jewels from a novella to a novel. The idea for Jewels came from a blog post where I was experimenting with the use of first-person point of view.

Praise and Reviews

"If you are looking for a read that combines a variety of issues and layers that will have you running through the pages, then JEWELS by Lakisha Spletzer is just the right kind of book for you. At a time when series like those created by Stephanie Mayer, J. K. Rowling and others are dominating the bookstores and now the movie theaters, this is one that I can see headed in that direction. When talent and skill are the requirements for success, then you won't be able to go wrong with this literary adventure." -- C.A. Webb "Conversations Book Club"
