Have a good day everyone. :) 

Behind the scenes of The Farm Sitter

I wanted to share with you some pictures I used for inspiration while writing 'The Farm Sitter.'

    FARVIEW

The main house of Farview. This house really triggers my imagination. I used it once before in a novel. lol.... I'm drawn to it. 

Iron bark is the name of the small town one hours drive from Farview. 

This is the area where the truck was hidden on Farview soil. 

One of the many dams on the property of Farview.

One of the drier paddocks on Farview soil. 

Steven Amell was the inspiration behind Ryan Cross, especially his first appearance in the story.  Note the grey beanie. Ryan wore a grey beanie but his hair was longish in the beginning.




The male on the cover of The Farm Sitter wearing a black Akubra is very similar to what I envisaged Ryan Cross looking like in a scene where it mentions a black Akubra, although in the story Ryan has more than a three day growth, and his eyes are blue not brown.

Katie Cassidy was the inspiration for Kathryn Jeffries, without the make up perhaps.

Nicholas Barrington at the end of the story. Once again these pictures were used as inspiration, having some similarities. 

                                                     

                   

The way Steven Amell is walking here is how I envisaged Nicholas. 

When I finished putting this together it made me realise that the hero and heroine in my story have some similarities but not all. They've picked up their own traits and appearance as individuals.  

It's amazing what the mind can envisage isn't it?

The Farm Sitter  

The Farm Sitter   

by Suzanne Brandyn (Goodreads Author)

Not everything is as it seems.
Kate has no family left, and wants to be closer to her memories on a property west of NSW. I felt sorry for Kate at once, and related to her due to the loss of her sister and her grandmother.
I fell in love with the mysterious, hot Jackaroo. Even his background will have you wanting to find out more about him and doesn't he have more. The suspense deepened the further I read with quite a few twists. There was one twist toward the end which tied everything together. Talk about suspenseful. When I got to the end I wanted to keep reading. I didn't want the story to stop. This author stories are getting better with each book she writes, not that I hadn't thoroughly enjoyed her other novels. Loved it. 

The Farm Sitter Out now.

The Farm Sitter is out now on Amazon Kindle. It is also the 1st day of June in Australia, and the 1st day of what I think will be a very cold winter.      
So why not snuggle up and read a good book. :)

Blurb:
Someone is stalking her and the stakes are getting deadly.

When Kate loses the last member of her family, she retreats to Farview, a cattle property on the northern tablelands of NSW Australia, to overcome her loss, to be closer to her memories and to take over where her grandmother left off. But she doesn't expect a Jackaroo to saunter into her home late one night, where she holds him at gunpoint.

He introduces himself as Ryan Cross, The Farm Sitter, who remains employed by her late grandmother. According to her will, Kate cannot force him to leave, and it is important for her to honour her grandmother's wishes.

Kate is attracted to the sexy stranger, but suspicion cocoons her. It appears not everyone is willing to admit the truth. Can she trust her confused feelings for Ryan or is he part of the danger?
