Please introduce yourself.
Hey Everyone! I’m Linda
O’Connor, and I’m super excited to be stopping by. I’m the author of medical
romantic comedies in The Perfectly Series, In the Game Hockey Romance series,
and my brand new release, Dr. Brogan Corkie Matchmaking Doctor series. I
balance writing with my work as a physician in an Urgent Care Clinic and weave
the best parts of medicine into romance. All of my books are stand-alone
stories filled with love and laughter – so indulge yourself, relax, and escape
into fun. It’s what the doctor ordered. :D
What inspires you as an author?
Everything! News stories, headlines, snippets
of conversations I hear, lyrics of songs, watching people and putting a story
behind their body language or expression – they all inspire my imagination. I’m
a physician, and I started writing because I wanted to find a fun way to
disseminate medical information. My characters are often doctors and the
patients they see are inspired by something I want to teach.
What is your favorite quote?
It ain’t no use putting up your
umbrella till it rains. Alice Caldwell Rice
So simple
but excellent advice for all those worry-worts – don’t be worrying about
something that may not happen!
What type of romance do you love
most, and why?
I
love romantic comedies because I love being in a fun headspace when I’m
writing. I usually read for relaxation and feel better when the book is upbeat.
I think laughter is essential to great health!
Why did you write this book?
I thought it would be fun to write a romantic
comedy series about a retired doctor who “upgrades” her M.D. from Medical
Doctor to Matchmaking Doctor. Dr. Brogan Corkie brings couples together and
helps give them a nudge in the right romantic direction. A second romance
overarching through all the books is Brogan’s romance. She practices what she
preaches.
What is your favorite genre to read?
I love reading romantic comedies and romance in
general, and when I’m writing, I read cozy mysteries.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not
including your own)?
My favourite fictional character is Andy Carpenter,
a reluctant lawyer who helps solve mysteries in the Andy Carpenter series by
David Rosenfelt. He’s brilliant and funny (as is the author!).
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m editing the third book and writing the fourth
book of the Dr. Brogan Corkie Matchmaking Doctor series. The fourth book will
be a Christmas romantic comedy!
What books will we see from you in coming months?
I’ll be releasing Don’t Forget the Dog, Book 2, and Don’t Unravel the
Past, Book 3 of the Dr. Brogan Corkie Matchmaking Doctor series in May 2020 and
August 2020 respectively. And I’ll release Book 4 in November. Can’t wait!
Don’t Drop the Baby
(Dr. Brogan Corkie Matchmaking Doctor Book 1)
Genre Medical Romantic Comedy
PG
Blurb
Dr. Brogan Corkie is happily
semi-retired from medicine and now has time for other hobbies. Her passion for
food is only second to her skill at matchmaking!
Ross Skye, owner of BabyCare,
a high-end line of baby merchandise, is injured in an accident, and Brogan uses
her cooking, medical – and matchmaking – skills to help him out. Dr. Lauren
Ross is taking care of her nephew for two weeks, and Brogan agrees to babysit
while Lauren is at work.
Two years ago, Ross and
Lauren dated. At that time, Lauren wanted kids, but Ross wasn’t keen. Now the
tables have turned, and Ross is trying to convince Lauren that they’d make an
awesome parenting team. Brogan suggests they test drive parenthood by looking
after a simulated baby for a week – a computerized version that eats, sleeps,
wets, and cries. Ross and Lauren experience the “joy” of having a newborn
firsthand, and the bar is set pretty low. Their first goal is: don’t drop the
baby. The second goal is to find out if their love for each other will survive
the test of…parenting.
