Garden Paths

One of the titles in my new Rural Mystery Series, ‘Garden Paths,’ focusses on a mysterious garden. The garden is on land left to a woman by a family she has never known. When she comes to Nova Scotia to claim the property, she finds the garden, and discovers the story of its creation.

Synopsis:
When Ella Bartholomew’s uncle dies, she is shocked to hear she has not been remembered in his will, although he is the only family she has known. He has, however, provided for her in another way and Ella discovers that she is now the owner of an unfamiliar property in Nova Scotia. When she visits the mysterious property and the nearby community, she discovers a family and a history she never knew existed. On the property, she finds a beautiful garden and a statue of her unknown mother. Now she must discover the secrets of the garden and those of her mother, and win a battle with a vicious claimant to the property and the garden.

I had fun writing this book because I was able to write about my own garden and the various plants I have grown. I also love making simple maps and I made a map to help describe the garden in the book (Ella’s mother called it her Million Acre Garden). In the garden is a maze, one of my favourite horticultural features. The Noel Shore area of Nova Scotia is also one of my favourite landscapes.
