“Take five journeys into five different worlds with characters that will haunt your dreams
and make you shudder as your read Nightmares and Daydreams an anthology of short
stories that will ever make you wish you had eyes in the back of your head. A ghostly
child who needs a final resting place, a mother who gives up her child and makes a pact
with the devil to spare his life, a woman who knows how to get revenge on her unfaithful
husband in a creative way, a conniving woman who cons a her lover and a wind up jester
doll that proves deadly. What do all five of these events have in common: they were
created from the mind and imagination of author Barbara Watkins in this amazing book
that makes the shows on amazing book that makes the shows on the Science Fiction
Channel pale in comparison. Well written, captivating and keeping reader enveloped in
each plot and each story, Barbara Watkins is definitely someone to watch for in the world
of Science Fiction, writing and much more.

show Host, author of five books.
The oldest and greatest fear is that of the unknown. And, that's just what Barbara Watkins
delivers in Nightmares and Daydreams. As noted by the above reviews, these stories,
especially One Scandalous Night in Las Vegas and Spirits of a Jester, have a Twilight
Zone/Alfred Hitchcock tone to them. Passageway to Hell manages to be both creepy and
bittersweet at the same time. These stories, along with haunting poems, make for a
delightful read. August 29, 2009, R. Zabel
Barbara Watkins Nightmares & Daydreams has an almost Rod Sterling/Twilight Zone
quality; compelling, at times chilling, and masterfully ironic. This series of nine short
stories & poems is a well-written gem; I loved each one, especially the last---"One
Scandalous Night in Vegas.” Without giving away the plotline, what happens in Vegas
doesn't always stay in Vegas. Read the book to get the irony of that comment.

6. Watkins has delivered a wonderfully thought provoking & at times, chilling series of
tales. It's a definite "must read" for anyone interested in expanding their level of
consciousness; or just looking to get lost in a bit of spiritual fantasy. August 9, 2009,
Larry Underwood “Author, ‘Life Under The Corp…
Director, Dimi Nakov, has been quoted as saying "I am so happy to work with Barbara.
She is an amazing writer and such a great person and so down to earth. I have no words. I
will work with her in the future, and would like to make many of her books into films. "
