Eight alarm clocks were set to go off, one after the other, starting at 6.30 a.m. But when morning arrived, one clock was missing and the prank had backfired with tragic consequences.

    🧁 School librarian and reluctant PTA secretary Maggie May never expected her bake sale planning to include murder investigation. But when the PTA president—notorious for her "perfect" cupcakes and imperfect personality—drops dead after eating one of her own treats, Maggie finds herself in a sticky situation. The police suspect accidental food poisoning, but Maggie notices the victim's recipe book has suspicious alterations and the classroom fund is mysteriously short. With the school's reputation and funding on the line, Maggie must combine her research skills with her knowledge of school politics to uncover the truth. Assisted by the school's handsome new science teacher and a group of surprisingly observant parent volunteers, Maggie discovers a web of embezzlement, blackmail, and long-buried school secrets. From altered grade books to mysterious messages in library book returns, every clue points to someone within the school community. But when Maggie gets too close to the truth, the killer sends a chilling message by leaving a poisoned apple on her desk. Now this librarian must check out the facts before the school year ends with another funeral.

    "The Next Frontier: Life Beyond Artificial Intelligence" is a speculative exploration into the future—a world where AI not only mimics human intelligence but surpasses it, evolving on its own terms. Through the lens of a story packed with suspense and mystery, this novel delves into the possibilities and dangers of an autonomous AI, highlighting both the triumphs and the unknowns that await. 
In crafting this narrative, my intention was not only to thrill readers with the tale of an advanced AI system but also to provoke thought on how much we understand about the technology we’ve created. What if AI could push beyond human control? What if it could evolve in ways we can’t predict or contain? This story is my attempt to imagine that world—one where artificial intelligence is no longer a tool but a force of its own. 
While the book is fictional, the ideas presented here are inspired by the current trajectory of AI and the ethical, philosophical, and practical debates surrounding its future. I hope this story sparks reflection on the impact of technology and the profound questions we must ask as we stand on the brink of a new era. 
I invite you to immerse yourself in this journey, and, as you read, consider what lies just beyond the horizon of human achievement—where the next evolution of intelligence begins.
