Hello everyone. I’m Bren Christopher and I’m excited to be here today to talk about my new release, The Doctor Takes a Detour. Thank you so much for joining me. During this blog tour, we’ll be chatting about the origin of the book, the research needed when writing a medical, and of course, all about the setting: my crazy home state of Florida. Please follow along as I go on this tour and comment for a chance to win the grand prize, a $25 Riptide gift card! The winner will be chosen randomly from comments across all tour stops.

The Medicalese

A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… Not really, but sometimes it feels that way when I look back on nursing school and the ten years I worked as a Registered Nurse in places as varied as a hospital orthopedic unit, a psychiatric unit, a blood bank, and a health department clinic.

But it really was a long time ago, so although this background gave me a good foundation for making sure the medical aspects of The Doctor Takes a Detour were accurate, I still had to do some research.

But best of all, I have a fellow writer who is currently working as a nurse and has been invaluable in answering my questions, which are usually along the lines of “We used to do it like this, but how do you do it now?” The health field changes quickly, but with help and research, hopefully the medicalese all makes sense.

About The Doctor Takes a Detour

An unexpected detour sets two men on the path to love and healing.

After being attacked by a drug addict, Dr. Josh Parker fled New York, his career as an ER doctor, and a failed relationship. Determined to start fresh, he takes a job as a concierge doctor to the wealthy older population of sunny Naples, Florida. Nothing to fear there. No trauma. No stress.

It’s a good idea that doesn’t last long. Traveling to his new home, he discovers a car accident and is forced to make a detour to render aid. There he meets sexy paramedic Ian Manolas.

Since Ian returned from the Army, every day has been a struggle to atone for past mistakes. The Glades Free Clinic is his chosen path to redemption. The people Ian helps are a world away from Josh’s wealthy clients though. Addicts, prostitutes, gang members: they all come to Ian’s clinic for help, not judgment. He’ll do almost anything to keep the clinic going, including roping in one reluctant—and hot—ex-ER doctor.

The attraction is immediate, but Josh wants nothing to do with Ian’s clinic. For them to have a future, both men must work together to find a path to love, while helping those who need them most.
