I'm really excited to have my books included in the Summer giveaway. There are three books in The Michaela Bancroft Mystery Series, and I am currently writing the fourth book. For the giveaway, I'd like to give copies of all three books to the winner. You might notice that I am now writing the books under a pen name, which is A.K. Alexander (initials of my kids' names).
Here is a blurb from the back of each book, anmd if you would like to read the first chapters, please visit my website at http://www.michelescott.com.
Saddled With Trouble:
Equal parts suspense and understated contemporary romance, "Saddled with Trouble" is a fast-paced murder mystery that revolves around Michaela Bancroft, a 32-year-old horse trainer whose personal life is quickly coming apart at the seams.
Struggling through an ugly divorce and in danger of losing her southern California ranch to creditors, Bancroft finds her already chaotic life turned upside down when her beloved uncle Lou is found murdered in a stable stall, impaled by a pitchfork. The distraught Bancroft vows to find the person or people behind the senseless homicide, but the deeper she digs into her uncle's secretive past (an ill-managed business venture involving an artificial insemination breeding program, rumors of infidelity, mysterious payoffs, etc.), the more potential suspects come to the forefront. Even Bancroft's closest friends --- trusted veterinarian Ethan Slater and her fun-loving roommate, Camden -- become prime suspects. Ignoring the advice of hunky detective Jude Davis, Bancroft continues snooping around and soon finds herself the killer's next target….
Death Reins In:
MISSING…
Racetrack veterinarian Bob Pratt is missing. When Michaela Bancroft’s good friend Audrey reveals to her that her brother has been gone for a few days, Michaela assures her that she will do what she can to help.
DEAD…
Then when Audrey is viciously murdered, Michaela is certain Bob’s disappearance is related.
DIGGING…
Michaela will go digging for answers that will lead her from Palm Desert to Malibu, where a killer awaits to answer her questions personally.
Tacked to Death:CLUBBED…
When polo rider Sterling Tabor is clubbed to death with a polo mallet, suspicion falls on Michaela Bancroft.
RUMORS…
Of an alleged affair with the murder victim send Michaela into a rage and on the hunt for her own answers.
SECRETS…
When a seedy secret from the past comes to light, Michaela finds herself in the worst kind of trouble— the deadly kind.
A new tack shop and a gala polo match are reasons to celebrate for horse trainer Michaela Bancroft—until equestrian Sterling Tabor is found clubbed to death with a polo mallet. Worse yet, suspicion falls on Michaela…
The weapon belongs to Michaela, her prints are all over it, and rumors of her alleged affair with the victim aren’t helping. With her boyfriend Detective Jude Davis out of town, Michaela doesn’t stand a chance of proving her innocence and clearing her name unless she delves into Tabor’s mysterious life—and death—on her own. But in unearthing a real suspect and a motive, she discovers a deadly past. And Tabor’s shady friends are more than willing to throw Michaela off the track—for good.

Equestrian Ink Great Summer Giveaway - THE HORSE JAR
The Equestrian Ink Great Summer Giveaway Continues!
Because we appreciate our readers so much - and because we think Summer is a great time for Reading - we are giving away one of our books each week! This week you can win THE HORSE JAR, by Linda Benson. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this blog post. You have until Friday night, July 15th, 2011 when a random winner will be picked.

THE HORSE JAR is a children's novel, but many horse and animal minded adults have enjoyed it, too. It's published by Mondo Publishing, which sells directly to schools, so you won't find it in bookstores. But here's your chance to own your own copy! It's a horse story, a dog story, and a story about a girl who goes after her dreams . . . oh never mind - here's the blurb:
Annie Mitchell has worked so hard to save her money for the one thing she has been dreaming about for years - her very own horse. What Annie didn't count on was how much hard work it would be convincing her parents that she can take care of one. But she does what she can to prove it to them, and just when things seem to be going her way - Annie is faced with the most difficult decision of her life! Will Annie's choice sacrifice everything she's worked so hard to get? Will she lose the best friend she has ever had? She never knows what to expect - and neither will you!
