About

I'm an indie author who began writing at the
tender age of 8. I've written everything from poetry, to fan fics, to novels.

After high school I went to college and got a BA in Communications. Becoming a writer was one of the happiest moments of my life and I will continue to write as a move forward.

Description

<p><span><span>Shakespeare's Witches tell Banquo, &quot;Thou Shalt 'Get Kings Though Thou Be None&quot;. Though Banquo is murdered, his son Fleance gets away. What happened to Fleance? What Kings? As Shakespeare's audience apparently knew, Banquo was the ancestor of the royal Stewart line. But the road to kingship had a most inauspicious beginning, and we follow Fleance into exile and death, bestowing the Witches' prophecy on his illegitimate son Walter. Born in Wales and raised in disgrace, Walter's efforts to understand Banquo's murder and honor his lineage take him on a long and treacherous journey through England and France before facing his destiny in Scotland.</span></span></p>

Story Behind The 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.

&quot;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.&quot;  -- C.A. Webb &quot;Conversations Book Club&quot;
