The Gardener’s Secret by S. Hansberger

Please help me welcome S. Hansberger…

Loyalty to a stranger opens her to more danger than she’d ever imagined.

Believing she’ll get to report gritty news, Callie accepts a job at her hometown newspaper. Instead, she’s assigned the gardening column—a subject she knows nothing about. She begs advice from a tight-lipped neighbor when he admits he’s a retired gardener, even though his mannerisms and speech suggest he’s anything but. Not knowing the full truth doesn’t matter—she needs his help. The townsfolk think him strange and warn Callie to keep her distance, but she regards him and his family as friends. Learning their horrifying secret doesn’t deter her, even though loyalty will draw her into danger.

Author Bio: Sheila Hansberger/ S. Hansberger, is an artist and author. For the past forty-plus years, original watercolors and commercial art assignments have kept her busy with galleries and private clients. Other than an occasional magazine article or press release, her writings took a back seat to her artwork. In 2004, she began a five-year stint as Newsletter Editor for the National Watercolor Society. The job reminded her how much she loved writing. She then joined two national writer’s groups, attended classes, podcasts, and conferences to hone her skills. A book club, beta readers, and critique partners lent advice about her work. To date, her computer’s memory holds four novels (three finished), plotting for additional novels, and the beginnings of two children’s books.

In addition to her fine art/writing careers, her background includes work as a graphic artist for a printing firm; owner/manager of a property management company; owner/operator of a one-hundred-year-old, rustic sales barn and apple orchard; and board member of various volunteer organizations. Her three children, all raised with help from her devoted late husband, are precious lights in her life, as are her three grandchildren.

Deadlines are part of Hansberger’s existence, and she gives 110% to whatever project is in front of her. She says, “Some days I paint with watercolor; some days I paint with words. Life can be hectic, living like a ping-pong ball, bouncing back and forth between tasks, but at least I am never bored!”
