The pen name of Michele Scott

The woman behind the name

I’m a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of over forty novels spanning cozy mysteries, dark thrillers, young adult fiction, and women’s fiction. I aim to write stories that pull you in and don’t let go.

As A.K. Alexander, I write pulse-racing thrillers that have sold over one million copies and hit #1 on UK Amazon with Daddy’s Home, the first book in The Holly Jennings series.

Under the name Michele Scott, readers know me best through Nikki Sands, the wine country sleuth at the heart of the Wine Lover’s Mystery series. A Murder Uncorked is in development as a film starring Emma Roberts and Lucas Bravo.

My equestrian mysteries draw on a world I know deeply. As CEO of Professional’s Choice, Inc. — a leading equestrian sports medicine company — horses aren’t just a passion, they’re part of my DNA.

With books on the New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Amazon bestseller lists, there’s something here for every kind of reader. Whether you’re in the mood for cozy and fun or dark and gripping — I’ve got you covered.
