Regional author brings book three of 'Georgia Gold Series' to Banks County From Watkinsville author Denise Weimer and Canterbury House Publishing, “The Crimson Bloom,” book three of the “Georgia Gold Series,” debuts in local bookstores this spring. Building on the mid-1800s action, romance and mystery of books one and two of the series released in 2013, “Sautee Shadows” and “The Gray Divide,” “The Crimson Bloom” transports readers to the coast and mountains of Civil War- era Georgia. Readers can pick up their copy of what James A. Cox, editor-in-chief of Midwest Reviews calls “a riveting interper sonal drama” at The Bookstand of Northeast Georgia. With her husband Devereaux Rousseau now a captain com manding Savannah’s elite Oglethorpe Light Infantry on the Civil War battlefields of Virginia, Carolyn Calhoun Rousseau must prove her own backbone as she operates the family’s last function ing farm in the hills of Habersham County. She draws on the sup port of her best friend, Mahala Franklin, half-Cherokee grand daughter of a local inn owner. Mahala battles her own frustra tions with Jack Randall, rival hotel owner and coastal ship ping magnate. Jack’s continued reluctance to commit threatens to drive Mahala into the arms of her Cherokee childhood sweetheart, Clay Fraser. Then, tragedy brings Mahala and Carolyn to Savannah just as Sherman advances on the city - and forces everyone to con front their true feelings. Will Jack abandon his ship and its prof its to the Yankees in Wilmington Harbor in order to guide them on a perilous wagon journey across Georgia, or will he abandon the woman he claims to love, but whom he now knows also has feelings for another? And even if Mahala reaches safety, could her discovery about her father’s long-ago murder and missing gold prove far more dangerous than the war? The “Georgia Gold Series” was inspired by the family letters and diaries of beloved regional artist John Kollock, who passed away this March. His artwork designed exclusively for the series graces the covers of all four novels. The cover of “The Crimson Bloom” depicts Factor’s Row and the Savannah riverfront. Book four, “Bright as Gold,” which will release September 1,2014, will fea ture Pomona Hall of Clarkesville. To reserve a copy of the novel, call 706-335-2665, or visit The Bookstand at 337 Pottery Factory Drive in Commerce. “The Crimson Bloom: Book Three of the Georgia Gold Series” is avail able nationally in bookstores and online retailers by Canterbury House Publishing, ISBN: 978-0- 9881897-4-4, trade soft cover, $15.95.
