<p><span><span><strong>Michelle Ann Cox Lomas, certified Minister/Astrologer/Spiritual Counselor.</strong></span><span> Ms. Watkins has a magnificent ability to weave a wonderful supernatural story for sure! I think she did an excellent job creating this thriller - <em>Hollowing Screams</em>. Alfred Hitchcock himself would have been proud! I would certainly say that Barbara Watkins ranks up there as being one of my all time favorite writers.<br /><br /><span><span><span><span><span><strong><span>Director, Producer, and Cinema photographer, Dimi Nakov</span></strong><span>, has been quoted as saying, &quot;Barbara is an amazing writer and such a great person - so down to earth.
