A Murder Uncorked
A Nikki Sands Mystery
When an entitled customer with a bad attitude gets Nikki fired from her job as a waitress, Nikki Sands finds herself caught in the sights of the wealthy and incredibly sexy Derek Malveaux.
Impressed by her knowledge of wines – and embarrassed by his date – he offers her a job as a winery manager at his vineyard and she accepts because – well, a girl’s gotta eat.
Where else would her wine expertise come in handy anyway? The eye candy was a nice bonus too.
On her first night at Malveaux Estate, Nikki finds something wrong with the fertilizer around the bushes by her cottage: there’s a dead body in it.
Smack in the middle of the investigation, new girl Nikki is questioned as the prime suspect and told to stay put in Napa Valley. Nikki puts her sleuthing skills to work as she navigates the dramatic dynamic of Malveaux Estate’s residents. As she gets closer to the truth, Nikki realizes she will have more than just a new job to worry about.
A Murder Uncorked is the first book in the seven book Wine Lover’s Mystery series. The series is full of romance, murder, mystery, and there are excellent recipes for you to try between each chapter!
Swimmingly Dead
An Ella McBane Mystery
Ella McBane thought the whole murder mystery thing was behind her. Now she’s dating, shooing off former flames who keep intruding on her life, and landing upscale catering gigs left and right. Life is going swimmingly… Until she discovers a body in the pool of a mega mansion she’d just catered an open house at. It also happens to be a home listed for sale by her best friend Noelle. Is this an accidental death or something more sinister?
Ella’s gut tells her it’s the latter, but cops write the death off as accidental. She must get to the bottom of this mysterious death with the help of Noelle, before it’s too late. Swimmingly Dead expertly combines romance, intrigue, humor, culinary temptations (and plenty of fun 80s and 90s references!) to make a heart-pounding, hilariously fun ride in Michele Scott’s latest read.

NEW YORK TIMES & USA TODAY BEST SELLING AUTHOR
I’ve been writing since I can remember! I always loved to read and write and wrote my first “book” when I was 12..of course it was about horses. Horses are my other passion and outside of writing I am the owner and CEO of our family business where we manufacture sports medicine products for horses. If you read my books you’ll find a few have an equestrian theme or background to them.
Engagingly Dead kept me on my toes and at times on the edge of my seat.
Entertaining, and suspenseful, layered with a lot of humor this book was almost impossible to put down.. I hope another book with these characters is in the works because I want to see what happens next in their lives."

- THE BEST REVIEWS -
Nikki is a smart and witty heroine, and I enjoyed spending time with her.
The crisp writing, interesting characters and plot makes MURDER UNCORKED a great book. The recipes and wine suggestions are a bonus. I'm looking forward to Michele Scott's next wine lover mystery, plus her new equestrian mystery series. She writes the kind of books I like to read."
