Michele Scott
Michele grew up thirty minutes east of San Diego in an area
called Jamul. It was out there in the country that her
parents bought Michele’s first horse and she learned how to
ride at five. At nine years old she knew she loved to write
and one day wrote a short story that she showed to her dad.
She’d written it on one of his legal pads. After he read
it, he looked at her and said, “You are a writer.” With
those words spoken, she’s never stopped writing stories. She graduated from The University of Southern California
with a degree in communications, where she studied
journalism and hoped to be a reporter. But deep down
inside, she’d never given up on being a fiction author.
Fate intervened and during Michele’s senior year at college
she became pregnant with her first son who was born six
weeks prematurely. She had to stay home with her newborn
who needed constant care and it was at that time she
decided to write her first book.
She contacted Writer’s Digest and ordered their
correspondence course on writing a novel. For ten years
Michele kept writing, submitting, attending conferences and
workshops and receiving rejections but never giving up. Finally in March 2004, Jessica Faust at Bookends signed her
as a client. One month later Michele received THE CALL from
Jessica telling her that she had a publisher—Berkley Prime
Crime, and that they wanted to sign her for three books in
The Wine Lover’s Mystery Series. "It was surreal,
wonderful and a dream come true when my agent called and
told me. That night my husband and I got a really nice
bottle of Champagne and celebrated." Then in December that
second call came in about The Equine Mystery Series.
Michele writes full time now and lives in San Diego with
her very supportive husband, two sons and daughter.
