I am a writer of Australian rural contemporary and historical fiction.
After a long break, I am about to release a new novel. Morgan’s Road is Book 3 in the Kavanaghs series, following on from Colonial Daughter (Book 1) and Colonial Legacy (Book 2). It will be released this month.
Details:
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.
Colonial Legacy is available in ebook here. Colonial Daughter is available in ebook here. Both novels have also been published to print and are available from online retailers, including Fishpond, Booktopia, Barnes and Noble and Amazon.

Heather, I was very interested to read that you are descended from Robert Purvis. I am descended from the William Scott that you mentioned. I purchased a copy of ‘Two Valleys – One Destiny A History of Banana’ by Betty Perry when I visited Biloela in 2008 and learned of the connection with Robert Purvis. Having seen the the property, I will be interested to read your book, regards Kathy

Hello Kathy. It was lovely to hear from you. That’s interesting that you’re descended from William Scott. Is your Scott family connected to the Scotts who owned Hornet Bank, where the infamous massacre occurred?
My earlier novels, The Cornstalk and A Hidden legacy, are set in the Banana area. They’re out of print at the moment (apart form a few copies of each that I have left) but should be back up as ebooks soon.
Regards
Heather
