The rural romantic comedy will be released through Rhiza Press on April 10 before the official launch at Kurri Kurri Library on April 11 at 10am.
A trip to Central Queensland provided Blackmore with the inspiration to write the book.
"If you've visited Central Queensland, you'll see that there's often little in the vague, vast distance but silver grass and long-eared cattle," she said.
"As you pull the cotton dress away from sticky skin, you wonder where all that perspiration could possibly have come from, since you haven't done a thing.
"There is something quintessentially Australian about the place. It also happens to be central to ... well, pretty much nowhere. It hit me along with the heat as soon as I touched down. This was where inspiration for Central to Nowhere was born."
The book will be available through Amazon, Rhiza Press and at book stores.
