  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. In 2225, America is calm, safe, and startlingly competent—a society that finally learned to raise thriving adults instead of anxious, divided ones. Museum curator Raymond Reed is tasked with building the definitive exhibit on the doctrine that made it possible, using an immersive Reconstruction Engine that renders the past without polish. But when the exhibit drops into 2026—two years before the election that will decide everything—Raymond uncovers how viciously the nation mocked independent candidate Robert Alden for proposing a radical education reset, and how eagerly the public chose comforting spectacle over inconvenient truth. As the record plays unsoftened and the laughter of a broken era fills a pristine hall, Raymond must decide whether to protect civic harmony with a clean story—or force his utopia to remember the price it almost refused to pay.

  A crime committed in desperation is brought to light generations later, in this emotional saga of family love, loyalty, and lies . . . 
  When Honey McCarthy inherits a small box of trinkets from her beloved great-aunt Beryl, she expects keepsakes—not secrets. But hidden inside is something far more dangerous: a confession to a terrible crime committed on a freezing December night in 1940, as German bombs fell over Manchester. 
  Beryl carried that secret for decades. Now it belongs to Honey. 
  As the truth begins to take shape, Honey faces an impossible choice. Expose what really happened and risk tearing her family apart or lock the past away again, where it can do no more harm. 
  Then she meets Levi. Charming, enigmatic, and carrying secrets of his own, Levi offers to help unravel the mystery. Drawn to him in ways she can’t quite explain, Honey finds herself trusting him with more than just the truth. But the deeper they dig, the darker the past becomes.

  "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

  When Gus Dupin, literary critic and scholar, finds himself invited to the funeral of Peggy Firmin, celebrated novelist and now murder victim, he is determined to find out who killed her and why. As his investigation gets underway, it is not long before he finds himself at the center of an experiment at Marlow AI, a large language model company. 
   
  Why was he included in this experiment and what role did Firmin play? Further, why is Dupin suddenly a suspect in Firmin’s murder? And worse: is he the next victim? As Dupin attempts to unravel the mystery of the death of his favorite author, listeners find themselves in an alternate reality that raises a sinister question: what is the appropriate relationship between humans and machines and is murder the consequence when it goes too far?
