Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
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 and the 1930s Mona Moon Mysteries. 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.”
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Death By Poison: A Josiah Reynolds Mystery.
It was inspired by a newspaper story about a young woman who poisoned her husband because she wanted the insurance money.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I get up and 4 am, work for a couple of hours, and then go back to bed. I must have absolute quiet. I sleep and then get up around 10 am, more writing, and then do book marketing. It’s rather routine and dull. I much rather be drinking champagne and dancing in a fountain.
