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

<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

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;background:#ffffff;"><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Andalus;color:#000000;">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!!</span></p><p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;background:#ffffff;"><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Andalus;color:#000000;">Reviewed by Larry Sheridan: author of Work In Progress</span></p><p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Andalus;"></span></p><p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Andalus;color:#000000;background:#ffffff;">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! Good Luck Fran you are well on your way toward a long successful writing career. </span><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Andalus;"></span></p><p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;background:#ffffff;"><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Andalus;color:#000000;">Marsha Cook, Author,Literary Consultant,CEO OF Michigan Avenue Media LLC and Marcus Bryan &amp; ASSOCIATES INC  </span></p><p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;background:#ffffff;"><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Andalus;color:#000000;"></span></p><p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;background:#ffffff;"><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Andalus;color:#000000;">Fran Lewis wrote six stories that will send chills down your spine and keep you glued to the printed page from start to finish.

The characters are so well written that you almost become them. I found myself rereading the one of Virginia Green. It was very close to what I went through in personal life that it almost brought tears to my eyes feeling for this woman. This is a five star collection of shorts that you surely must read.</span></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:15pt;margin-bottom:13pt;line-height:17pt;"><span style="font-size:15pt;">Reviewer G.
