Author Linda O'Connor
S: Welcome, Linda!
You are a physician by occupation, so why write romance?
L: I write romance because I love the happily-ever-after endings. I also wanted to target a female audience because women are usually the ones who see a physician. Males generally are at the doctor because a girlfriend or partner or spouse or mom encouraged them to go. I want to educate and empower readers to take ownership of their health, and writing for a female audience seemed the best way to start. I write romantic comedies because I love being in a fun head space when I’m writing. I think laughter is essential to great health!
S: I imagine after a day of treating patients, that HEA is a welcome respite!
Where do you do your best thinking?
L: Outside! I love walking and cycling and do my best thinking when I’m relaxed and exercising. Either that or when I’m lying awake at 3 a.m.

S: That laying awake at night is a common theme among authors!
What is your favorite day of the year?

L: Behind the Bench is a medical romantic comedy. Here's the blurb--
Dr.
Danni Angelo is the team physician for the Clarington Quakes hockey team. She’s
worked hard to earn the players’ respect, but the new coach, Trey Mason, is
stirring things up, and Danni’s worried her job may be in jeopardy.
Trey
finds Danni…distracting. Beauty, brains, and sexy moves on the ice have him
uncomfortably attracted. He’s the new guy on the block. He has a reputation to
build and a standard to set. The last thing he needs is a complication.
When
the team spirals out of control and Danni and Trey get caught up in a drug
scandal, things heat up on and off the ice. It’s a whole new game plan…Behind the Bench.
S: Oh, I love sizzling romances! Where can readers buy your book?
