Guest Post from Linda O’Connor, author of the Dr. Brogan Corkie Matchmaking Doctor Series
Thanks so much for welcoming me to your blog, Madison. I love visiting! I’m so excited to share the second book of my new series – Dr. Brogan Corkie Matchmaking Doctor.
My favourite place to write is outside in the shade of the Shagbark Hickory tree in my backyard (and underneath an umbrella…wearing a wide-brimmed hat…with sunscreen on). I wrote most of this story there. When it’s rainy or the weather becomes too cold, I move inside. I sit in a comfy wide chair (big enough for 2) with my feet propped up on an equally oversized ottoman looking out the window. I always write on a laptop, so my “office” is pretty flexible. I don’t listen to music when I write, and love it when I have a stretch of three or four hours of quiet. I try to finish a story within a season, but the season doesn’t have to match the one I’m writing about. I’ve written a Christmas story in the summer and a summer story in the middle of a winter blizzard. I can conjure up a blistery snowy morning, a lazy sunny afternoon, the dewy freshness of spring, or the crisp crunch of fall leaves in my imagination no matter what the weather is outside. One of my favourite scenes in this story centers around Tacos – an old English sheepdog. I needed a dog that was high maintenance and a sheepdog with their shaggy shedding and slobbery ways was the perfect fit. Plus with all that soft fluffy fur they’re so adorable. How could I go wrong!
About Don’t Forget the Dog:
Dr. Brogan Corkie is happily semi-retired from medicine and now has time for other hobbies. Her passion for food is second only to her skill at matchmaking!
Blaine McKinnon, owner and executive chef of an upscale restaurant in Mapleton, has an adorable Old English sheepdog named Tacos. Brogan is roped into dog-sitting Tacos at Blaine’s house. The upside is the spectacular kitchen at her disposal.
Dr. Sabrina Langfield, a newly minted doctor, is in a bind when her mom, Rue, falls and fractures her wrist. Brogan offers to help and does double-duty looking after Tacos and Rue.
Blaine and Sabrina were high school sweethearts but parted ways when Blaine pushed Sabrina to pursue a career. Sabrina hasn’t seen him since, but Rue is a huge fan and frequents his restaurant. Rue’s biggest regret is her part in Sabrina and Blaine’s break-up, and with Brogan’s help, she’s determined to get them back together. It might not be that easy – Sabrina is wary of Tacos and, more pressing, she’s decided to move a four-hour flight away to do five more years of training in emergency medicine.
Will meddlesome matchmaking, Blaine’s persuasiveness, and – don’t forget the dog – Tacos’ sweet nature be enough to convince Sabrina to stay?

Excerpt from Don’t Forget the Dog:
Blaine leaned against the wall. “I take it you’re still a plant-based, vegan, health food nut.”
Sabrina raised her chin. “There’s nothing wrong with choosing foods wisely to optimize health, despite what my mother thinks – or you, for that matter.”
He stepped closer and brushed at the snow melting on her neat ponytail. He could smell the perfume she wore. It took him back eleven years, and he almost lost his train of thought. “Eating for pleasure is just as important.”
Sabrina stiffened at his touch. Her back was ramrod straight. “Proper nutrition gives you the energy to enjoy what gives you pleasure.”
Her message and her body language read prim and proper, but her husky voice was pure sex. His body responded, and he leaned closer. “What gives you pleasure these days?”
She stopped him with a pointed finger jabbed into his chest and raised her chin. “Shouldn’t the question be who is giving me pleasure?”
