REVIEWS FOR RUNAWAY ARTIST by Sheila Hansberger

“Runaway Artist grabs you right from the start and doesn’t let go. A real page-turner written with such descriptive imagery you are transported into the story seeing, smelling, and feeling each event and emotion as it happens. Hansberger’s writing style is beautiful, with a gift for vivid description as if she had painted a colorful picture!”—Nancy Falciani, watercolor artist/ teacher
 

“Great job! Readers will love the transformation of a pampered and timid college art student, hiding in fear, who runs directly into a colorful and robust new life, where her talents could be life-saving.”—Carol Hamilton, artist & former art gallery staffer
 

“Mixed with the terror of evasion and constant alarms, our young artist finds a real warmth in her mountain hideaway community of supporting characters. Hansberger ratchets up the tension in this compelling setting of a life lived in elegant extravagance but now coping with basic survival.”—Nelda Stuck, retired Arts & Entertainment Editor, Redlands Daily Facts
 

“Hansberger's own skills as an artist come into play as Brooke, the Runaway Artist, has an uncanny ability to recall the murder scene and other pivotal moments by sketching them, aiding the police into not only believing her but giving them access to vivid reproductions of scenes and unsavory characters.”—Mae Wagner Marinello, Inlandia Literary Institute columnist
 

“Author Sheila Hansberger delivers a taut, believable thriller that cleverly juxtaposes privilege with peril. Brooke, the protagonist, is undeniably pampered, never having to worry about money, confident her family name will open doors. But Hansberger doesn’t let her coast. Instead, she throws Brooke into a world where her wealth means nothing, and her instincts are all she has left.”—L.B. Griffin, UK author of Secrets, Shame, and a Shoebox
