    "Abigail Keam writes with vision and understanding. Keam leaves the reader yearning for more." -Midwest Book Review  
    Josiah Reynolds is a beekeeper trying to stay financially afloat by selling honey at the Farmers' Market. She finds her world turned upside down when a man is found dead in her beeyard, only to discover the victim is her nemesis. The police are calling the brutal death murder and Josiah is the number one suspect! Fighting an unknown enemy in the glamorous world of Thoroughbreds, oak-cured bourbon, and antebellum mansions, Josiah struggles to uncover the truth in a land that keeps its secrets well. Josiah faces the world with sarcastic humor and a number of quirky, oddball friends that can only be found in the Bluegrass town of Lexington, the heart of Kentucky horse country. Some mysteries end with a bang, some are not solved at all and the first one ends with a cliff hanger, but they always entertain in the sassy, humorous, and suspenseful world as Josiah goes about sleuthing. Like Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, Josiah observes the world about her and solves even the must troubling cases. 
    Death By A HoneyBee is the first of an episodic series and as such ends in a cliff-hanger which is crucial to the rest of the series. Attached to HoneyBee is a bonus chapter from Death By Drowning which continues our heroine's story in linear time. I hope you enjoy reading Death By A HoneyBee as much as I have enjoyed writing it. It was a labor of love. 
    "The Josiah Reynolds Mystery Series is just like fried chicken - finger-licking good! Add some sweet tea and a piece of chocolate pecan pie with a scoop of ice-cream and you got yourself some tasty reading. We are introduced to a cast of characters and a storyline that, like honey, is sweet and delicious." -Linda Hinchcliff, Chevy Chase Magazine

    Nothing puts a damper on the holiday spirit . . . 
     
     
     
    Quite like a murder. 
     
     
     
    It's holiday festival time in picturesque Blue Valley, Tennessee, which means there'll be plenty of fun, and an onslaught of tourists coming to town. This year, Paper Owl owner and amateur sleuth Alice Maguire is helping out with organizing the Hometown Holidays Festival. 
     
     
     
    The festival features a week chock full of activities, beginning with the Bowl Full of Jelly 5k Fun Run, and leading into the Mistletoe Market, the Winter Wonderland, and the annual Tinsel Theater's production of A Christmas Carol. 
     
     
     
    Main Street is decorated to the nines, and the rooftop garden that Alice shares with her fellow sleuthers is cozier than ever. Franny will be whipping up plenty of hot chocolate, and Alice's budding romance with Luke Evans is going smoothly. 
     
     
     
    Life is good in the quaint little town, and it's shaping up to be a perfectly wonderful holiday, but when a body is discovered at the 5K, it'll be up to Alice, Owen, and Franny to make sure that Blue Valley's Hometown Holidays Festival gets back on track—and that means they'll have to catch a murderer. 
     
     
     
    Will they catch the killer and save the festival?

    One of them would kill to be a mother… 
    When someone tries to steal a newborn from Darkford General Hospital, everyone is horrified. Even more so when evidence suggests it was one of the midwives … 
    Katie, Erica and Sue are used to being heroes, not villains, as colleagues on the labour ward, so when one of them is arrested, the others must protect and reassure the pregnant women in their care that the danger has passed. 
    Leila is already anxious. She's always wanted to be a mother – but her partner isn't sure he's ready for fatherhood and she doesn't know if she can have this baby by herself. 
    As Leila's due date approaches, what at first feels like support from her midwives starts to seem more sinister. She's sure someone is following her, watching, waiting. Who can she trust … and is it too late to run? 
    Anna Schofield's The Midwives is a riveting story that delves into the complexities of trust and fear in a medical setting. The narrative skillfully intertwines elements of mystery and domestic life, creating a thrilling reading experience. 
    For fans of Samantha Hayes (The Engagement), S. E. Lynes (The Ex), Sue Watson (His First Wife), K.L. Slater (The Apartment), and Heidi Perks (The Other Guest).

    A Deadly Data Breach. A Triple Homicide. One File Worth Killing For. 
    From the award-winning Mike Stoneman Thriller series comes Book #7 — a gripping crime thriller set in the heart of a frozen New York City. 
    When electronics store owner Lou Palazzo is gunned down at a snowy Manhattan intersection, NYPD homicide detectives Mike Stoneman and Jason Dickson catch a case that’s anything but ordinary. Back at Lou’s shop, two Chinese nationals linked to a powerful Shanghai cybercrime ring are dead. The only clue? A missing laptop computer, possibly containing something Lou was willing to die to protect. 
    Meanwhile, NYU student Ryan Gelb is panicking. His hacked laptop held the stolen university data — data he quietly gave to his Uncle Lou. Now Lou is dead, and whoever killed him is coming for the file. . . and for Ryan. 
    Caught between international cybercriminals, New York mobsters, and the police, Ryan is desperate to recover the file and avoid being expelled — or worse, executed. 
    As Mike and Jason untangle a web of secrets, lies, and digital deception, they're met with stonewalling from all sides: NYU won’t talk, witnesses are hiding the truth, and even their closest allies are keeping dangerous secrets. 
    With the body count rising and a deadly showdown looming, the race is on to solve the mystery, recover the missing file, and avoid turning Lower Manhattan into a bloodbath. 
    Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, John Sandford, and David Baldacci, this high-stakes police procedural mixes hard-boiled action, cybercrime intrigue, and unforgettable characters in a page-turning thriller you won’t be able to put down.
