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>

<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. I look forward to working with her in the future, and would like to make many of her books into films. &quot; January, 1 2011<br /><br /><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><strong><span>Book/Screenwriter and Film Producer Lia Scott Price says</span></strong><span>, &quot;I admire your writing, and I hope you continue.
