Our classmate, Sheila Hansberger, talented artist and writer, has just released her first novel The Gardener’s Secret. Sheila has been a professional artist for over 40 years and now she can add published author to her many accomplishments.

In 2023, after winning First Place in a national writing competition, Wild Rose Press contacted her about publishing her manuscript. After almost a year, they just released The Gardener’s Secret. Even though this is her first novel, the publisher is already asking Sheila for the next one.

The Gardener’s Secret is set in Georgia and written under the pen name S. Hansberger. It’s available online as a paperback and e-book from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iTunes and other online booksellers.

What’s the novel about? Sheila summarizes, “A secretive gardener hides in the deep south, thinking he’s safe…until he isn’t. And the aspiring journalist who befriends him, find herself drawn into more danger than she ever imagined.”

I don’t know about you, but I love a good mystery and I can’t wait to get a copy of The Gardener’s Secret.
