Plan Bee, third in the Queen Bee mystery series, has been reissued through Kindle with a new, low price of $2.99.

Moraine’s annual Harmony Festival is anything but harmonious for Story Fischer. She’s lost the Honey Queen crown to the town’s biggest shoplifter, her domineering mother wants Story’s observation beehive banned from the festival, and a visiting twelve-year-old is wreaking havoc with explosive experiments. Then Story stumbles upon a dead body in the cemetery, only to have it disappear and reappear in a most inconvenient location. When her mother starts dating the prime suspect, and the young scientist goes missing, it’s up to Story to make a beeline for the truth before everything blows sky-high.

About the authors: The Queen Bee series was originally published under the name of Hannah Reed. With the reissue, Deb Baker wanted her share of the credit, since she was the mastermind behind the concept. A compromise was reached. They would team up. So far, it has worked out. But as everyone knows, ultimately, there can only be one Queen Bee.

Book #5 in the Series is Out!

Barnes and Noble / Amazon

Beekeeper Story Fischer has stocked the shelves of her market, The Wild Clover, in preparation for the influx of produce-crazy tourists about to invade Moraine, Wisconsin. In fact, with the apple cider and caramel apple stand on Main Street and the corn maze out at Country Delight Farm, the whole town is ready for the swarm.

But when a self-proclaimed witch moves into town, the neighbors are all abuzz with questions. Is the quirky newcomer a good witch or a bad one? Story thinks Dyanna Crane is perfectly nice, albeit a little eccentric. But after an entire coven shows up for a new moon ritual—and one of the witches ends up dead in the corn maze—Story must comb through both fact and fiction, before anyone else is murdered under the cover of magic…
