Queensbury Alumni Writes Fifth Novel

Mikaela Bee graduated from Queensbury High School in 2010, and has now written her fifth novel!

Up until her successful writing career, Mikaela worked as a teaching assistant and waitress. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bee had a golden opportunity to start writing; her first book “The Lake House” was written during the first year of the pandemic.

All of her books are thrillers set in the region between Lake George and Burlington, Vermont. Her latest book, “Hazardous Conditions” involves a serial killer in Lake George, and mentions both Warrensburg and Bolton in the plot. One of the main characters is modeled after Bee’s real life sister who likes to ride horses – in the plot of the book, the characters travel to a remote horse barn during a blizzard, and the plot twists and turns during their travels back home. 

Mikaela enjoys writing and also works part time at a doggy daycare. Fans will be happy to hear that her writing career has only just begun – her next book is the first in a three-part series, called the “Wedding Nightmare Series”. Mikaela’s books are available in paperback on Amazon for $13.99, and also digitally on Kindle Unlimited. 

Mikaela enjoyed her time in the Queensbury Schools, and has particularly fond memories of the fifth grade. Mikaela encourages anyone with an interest in writing to go ahead and try it: “If I had any clue a couple of years ago that people I’ve never met in my life would be reading my books and telling me it was their favorite book of the year, I would have never believed them” Mikaela said.
