About

am the author of three children's books. The first two are on Barnes and Noble and Goodreads.com as well as on Booksamillion and other on line sites. My Name is Bertha is the first book and Bertha Speaks Out is the second. I have submiited my third book Bertha Fights Back for publication. The three books are about a young girl named Bertha who is over weight, not very pretty and has to deal with real life issues children face today in school. She is sassy, she is smart and she uses her intelligence and sense of humor when dealing with a mother who insists that she participates in athletic activities even though she is a klutz. She insists that Bertha always gets 100 on every test she takes in school putting excessive pressure on her. The third book Bertha Fights Back shows what happens when a good kid can't take the heat any more and she rebels.

Description

Harold Godwineson, the Last Anglo-Saxon King, owed everything to his father. Who was this Godwine, first Earl of Wessex and known as the Kingmaker? Was he an unscrupulous schemer, using King and Witan to gain power? Or was he the greatest of all Saxon Earls, protector of the English against the hated Normans? The answer depends on who you ask. He was befriended by the Danes, raised up by Canute the Great, given an Earldom and a wife from the highest Danish ranks. He sired nine children, among them four Earls, a Queen and a future King. Along with his power came a struggle to keep his enemies at bay, and Godwine's best efforts were brought down by the misdeeds of his eldest son Swegn. Although he became father-in-law to a reluctant Edward the Confessor, his fortunes dwindled as the Normans gained prominence at court. Driven into exile, Godwine regathered his forces and came back even stronger, only to discover that his second son Harold was destined to surpass him in renown and glory.

If you have, as I have, ever wandered through a cemetery wondering what stories the souls would tell that are behind, or under, the headstones then Fran Lewis may have some answers for you. In a well-crafted collection of stories she has given voices to a few chosen souls allowing them to finally speak and share their stories. It is both poignant and bizarre as you experience their last few days with their voices as your guide, educating you on their mistakes as well as their successes. I give credit to Fran as she uses this medium, sorry for the pun, to help educate as well as entertain the reader with her stories of pain, murder, and revenge. At times, while reading this collection, I wondered about those in my own past who suffered the blunt and sharp edge of my impatience, prejudice and ignorance. Our lives, all of our lives, touch each other in one fashion or another, Fran’s chilling work challenges us to remember that or suffer the consequences. Another fine work from Fran Lewis, I give her 5 STARS!! Reviewed by Larry Sheridan: author of Work In Progress Fran Lewis is a unique Book Reviewer who writes book reviews in her own style.She has written several other good books but this is the very first book written in the murder mystery genre. She has done a terrific job and after reading her new novel I am sure we have not seen the last of Fran's Mysteries. I think Fran has found her niche. I am looking forward to reading her next book and so will every reader that reads FACES BEHIND THE STONE. One word describes her book wow!
