What triggered this specific story?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve always loved the difference between city and country characters. The thought of taking a city dweller who relies on modern appliances, hates dirt and can\u2019t cook and throwing them into a tough country situation resonated with me. (I can be cruel when I want to be) It was fun to throw Delilah into tricky situations and see how she dealt with them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0Blurb:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most popular soap on television hangs in the balance because Delilah Connors has lost her mojo. Her agent decides she needs a break.<\/p>\n<p>Delilah disagrees but when her agent says jump, she jumps! She heads for the outback on a bus tour from hell. The coach smells, her seating partner is an octopus and the road leads nowhere she wants to go. It\u2019s all too much.<br \/>\nShe grabs her bags and hits the track. The trouble is the track leads to two small children and a widowed farmer. The kids are cute but not cute enough to compensate for an archaic kitchen and the filthy flies. Just when she\u2019s getting the hang of the outback, the flies and that sexy farmer she\u2019s summoned back to the big smoke.<br \/>\nBlake makes a last ditch attempt to plead his case but amongst the glitter and glamour of the Sydney film elite, he is way out of his depth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0Social media links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>FB: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Ann-B-Harrison-Author\/311207972338638\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Ann-B-Harrison-Author\/311207972338638<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Webpage: <a href=\"www.annbharrisonromance.com.au\">www.annbharrisonromance.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0Buy links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Amazon:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Outback-Stilettos-Ann-B-Harrison-ebook\/dp\/B00T4O39QK\">http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Outback-Stilettos-Ann-B-Harrison-ebook\/dp\/B00T4O39QK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks for visiting, Ann!
