Capella Local Launches New Book

Capella’s own Heather Garside has recently launched her new book, Morgan’s Road, the third book in The Kavanaghs series. Morgan’s Road continues on from Colonial Daughter and Colonial Legacy. Heather is also the author of a standalone novel, Breakaway Creek.

Heather tells Tieri News, “This book has taken me forever to write. I had a long break from writing but when I complied a family history book late last year, that got the creative juices flowing again. Morgan’s Road is the result.”

Morgan’s Road was launched on Saturday 21 February at Capella Library. Print copies are available through Capella Agencies, and you can find online sale locations at heathergarside.com. Ebooks are also available at several platforms via books2read.com/u/m0DzG7.

As to what to expect from the story, here’s what Heather has shared:

“Holly Colter leaves her career in nursing to work at her grandparents’ Central Queensland cattle property. But she hasn’t bargained on Jesse Kavanagh, the boy who broke her heart and ended up in trouble with the law, being back next door.

While doing her best to avoid Jesse, she indulges her love of history by trying to uncover the truth about a murdered ancestor. Her grandfather has a serious health scare, and, alone on the property with a cyclone looming, she is forced to ask Jesse for help. He has changed in the last twelve years, but she has her own secrets.

1897: Mercy Forbes is shocked but hardly grief-stricken when she finds her abusive husband murdered. Sergeant Jake Morgan is determined to find the killer, despite his suspicions about Mercy and her eldest son, and a growing attraction between them that threatens to undermine the case and his policing career.

Two strong women from different centuries grapple with work, family and love in the harsh environment of rural life. Holly and Mercy must both let go of the past if they are to find the happiness they crave.”
