Abigail Keam is an award-winning and Amazon best-selling author who writes the Josiah Reynolds Mystery Series about a Southern beekeeper turned amateur female sleuth. The Last Chance For Love Series tells of strangers who come from all walks of life to the magical Last Chance Motel in Key Largo and get a second chance at rebuilding their lives, and The Princess Maura Fantasy Series.One thing Miss Abigail loves to do as an author is to write real people and events into her stories. I am a student of history and love to insert historical information into my mysteries. My goal is to entertain my readers, but if they learn a little something along the way-well, then we are both happy. I certainly learn a lot from my research, and I hope my readers come away with a new appreciation of beekeeping from my Josiah Reynolds Mysteries.AWARDS2010 Gold Medal Award from Readers' Favorite for Death By A HoneyBee2011 Gold Medal Award from Readers' Favorite for Death By Drowning2011 USA BOOK NEWS-Best Books List of 2011 as a Finalist for Death By Drowning2011 USA BOOK NEWS-Best Books List of 2011 as a Finalist for Death By A HoneyBee2017 Finalist from Readers' Favorite for Death By Design2019 Honorable Mention from Readers' Favorite for Death By Stalking2019 Murder Under A Blue Moon voted top ten mystery reads by Kings River Life Magazine2020 Finalist from Readers' Favorite for Murder Under A Blue Moon2020 Imadjinn Award for Best Mystery for Death By StalkingPASSIONSBesides loving history, Kentucky bourbon and chocolate, Abigail loves honeybees and for many years made her living by selling honey at a farmers' market.
