It’s day 8 of the 10-day Countdown!! Meet Dr. Brenna Locket. She’s a busy family doctor and happily single. Dr. Brogan Corkie, doctor-turned-chef, won’t be cooking up love and romance in her life. Or so she says.  

Don’t Unravel the Past is Book 3 of the Dr. Brogan Corkie Matchmaking Doctor series ~ a fun stand-alone romantic comedy with a twist in the tale! August 4 is the big day. Woohoo!

Hello there! Brenna Locket here. Yes, that Brenna Locket. I’m an obstetrician-gynecologist and host of Busting  Sexual Health Myths. You may have heard it on the radio, caught a podcast on the net, or seen my TV show. Either way, I’m very pleased to meet you. I came to Mapleton for the Updates in Medicine Conference, but I’m hanging around for another six months. Don’t you love Mapleton? I visited it once when Mae Corkie invited me to spend Christmas with her and her family. It’s a little slice of heaven on earth. Right then and there, I adopted Mae’s mom, Dr. C., as my own. A gracious host and phenomenal cook, Dr. Brogan Corkie does it all. Advice and hugs are given freely!

After I graduated, life became crazy busy. There was no time to squeeze in a visit, but we never lost contact. Mae takes after her mom in that regard. When I got the go ahead for a six-month sabbatical, I wanted someplace peaceful and quiet to chip away at the book I’ve been promising my fans – and of course, Mapleton sprang to mind. Not only was it top of the list, it garnered every spot underneath. Dr. C very kindly offered me Mae’s old room, but I rented a cottage just outside of Mapleton. And if I know Dr. C., she’ll be filling my fridge and freezer with enough food to feed an army. What did I tell you – best set-up ever!

If you asked what was the most unique thing about me, I would have to say it’s my violet eyes. It’s rare, I know. No, I’m not an albino. No, I don’t wear contact lenses. It’s just me. My aunt had violet eyes; I figured it was embedded somewhere in the family genes. They say that Alexandria’s Genesis is a myth. But what can I tell you – I’m exceptionally healthy, I have extraordinary luck at sports, and I have violet eyes. I will let you in on a little secret though – I have been known to wear contact lenses – and occasionally a wig – when I don’t want to be recognized. My violet eyes tend to make an impression.

According to the brochure, the cabin I rented is right on the lake comes complete with sandy beach and a fire pit. So if you’re in the area and at loose ends, it will be my turn to extend a warm welcome. Bring your swimsuit and stay for s’mores!

Don’t Unravel the Past

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!

Years ago, Dr. Jay Landon kissed a sexy stranger with violet eyes. He was instantly enamoured – until he saw the engagement ring on her finger and the angry-looking dude by her side. She walked away with a piece of his heart.

Dr. Brenna Locket is in Mapleton for a conference and plans to stay for a six-month sabbatical to write a book. Her colourful past has prepared her well for a job she loves as an obstetrician-gynecologist with a special focus on sexual health. If her vivacious personality, natural empathy, and expert knowledge didn’t set her apart, her violet eyes and curly black hair certainly would.

Brogan doesn’t know their history, but the spark between Jay and Brenna is undeniable. She’s intrigued…and a matchmaking scheme is hatched. Now, if only Brenna could leave her past behind. Because unravelling the past might just derail the future.

Two years ago, I sent away for seeds that Honey Nut Cheerios offered. They wanted gardeners to plant flowers that would attract bees to help the struggling population. This year I planted them and, lo and behold, I’ve got flowers! Aren’t they pretty? I’m not 100% sure which are flowers and which are weeds, but the pink ones are flowers. 😀 They’re just starting to bloom so I’ll keep you posted as it grows!

I thought I’d give you a sneak peek at the cover for Don’t Unravel the Past, the third book of the Dr. Brogan Corkie Matchmaking Doctor series. I was a bit stumped about how to represent the past with a graphic and was discussing it at the dinner table. My son, Mark, had the idea to use a clock or an open book with pictures or words coming off the page. Brilliant! I passed that along to Candice Gilmer of Flirtation Designs who designed the cover. I love the result! Thanks Mark and Candice!

Don’t Unravel the Past is up for preorder (only $1.35 CAN) and will be released on August 4, 2020! The countdown begins on July 25 – meet the characters and get a behind-the-scenes look at writing the story!
