Dive into this captivating series with our exclusive bundle offer, featuring an enthralling mix of:
- Slow-burn workplace encounters that start off flirtatious and slowly get warmer…
- Intense emotions of two people helping each other heal their past traumatic memories!
- A larger mystery that gradually unfolds over the first three books!
Overview:
- Zach Cutter claims he’s not really an antiques dealer as such, but that he’s really a supernatural investigator.
- Zach claims he’s got repressed memories, missing at least a year of his life, probably more.
- Zach claims he can do magic. Not stage magician magic– REAL magic.
- Zach claims he’s got FEELINGS for his new psychiatrist, Dr. Cynthia Mann.
- Zach claims a LOT of problematic things.
But they’re ALL TRUE.
After a disturbing case in New York made Dr. Cynthia Mann wonder if the supernatural might actually be real, she’s started her life and her practice all over again in Cleveland, where she meets a new patient, stranger than any she’s ever met before—and far more charming than anyone she’s ever met, too.
During the progress Zach makes as Cynthia’s patient, he tells her stories about his past, and their relationship slowly edges from a doctor-patient one to a friendship—and Zach clearly wouldn’t mind if it became more.
Together, Cynthia and Zach will have to find a way for him to get out of the trouble he stumbled into long ago…
Embark on a romance that takes its time and lets you get to know the characters involved, realistically exploring the relationship between them:
Dr. Cynthia Mann:
Cynthia’s a psychiatrist in her early 30s who has had more than one very strange experience in her life, but some of them seemed like they might have had rational explanations… except for her last one…
Zach Cutter:
His expired driver’s license says Zach Lansky, but this supernatural investigator and magician calls himself Zach Cutter these days. On the other hand, that old driver’s license expired decades ago, but here Zach is, looking about the same age as Cynthia, still matching his old photo ID…
Praise for The Talking Cure:
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – I really enjoyed this story . . . [Zach and Cynthia] have been through the dark . . . and perhaps they can help each other get to the other side. The cases . . . were very interesting indeed . . . And I absolutely love his car! (It is magical and so fantastic, though its story is so sad, I want to adopt it!) The humour is excellent, I had a few times where I laughed out loud. . . . The two authors are husband and wife, and I think they did well writing together.”
Amyah MapleBell, MapleBell Reviews

“Like THE DRESDEN FILES meets THE PRINCE OF TIDES, but also like if BUFFY was for adults. Paranormal with just the right hint of romance.”

“I usually do not like to read fiction. But I have to tell you I enjoyed this book from the first word to the last. I love that there are facts in the book from different cultures. I love the supernatural elements. But mostly I love the way that I cared about both of the main characters and the other characters. This book is not predictable. It’s not one of those books that you know what’s going to happen as soon as you start reading it. And somehow it’s relaxing. I can’t quite explain it because there is a lot of action in the book, but it leaves you with the feeling that everything happens as intended.”
–Carol Seufert, Educator

“With The Talking Cure, everything is laid out in such a way that I found that the more I read, the more I enjoyed it, because the story was just that good, and the journey was that enjoyable, and the characters and their interactions were so fun . . . This story is just done well, full stop, and that’s where all the enjoyment comes from– it’s an excellent creative team putting out an excellent story.
–David Doub, creator of the vampire comic series DUSK

“[A]n engaging and exhilarating paranormal read. . . a great job of world-building and infusing humor and wit . . . Captivating, heartfelt, and entertaining . . . Rating: 10/10”

About the Authors
Barb is originally from Minnesota. She was a radio DJ for a while in college, and then she grew up to become a guitarist/singer-songwriter and got an album put out on the Imp label. However, she also had health issues: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and fibromyalgia and extreme environmental sensitivities and allergies. (She also has Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder due to issues involving her family of origin.)
For a while, brain fog from the CFS and the fibro made it harder for her to read long and involved works of fiction… So (since she’d always loved them in her childhood) she got into reading comics and graphic novels, particularly the comparatively avant-garde work coming out at that time from DC Comics.
Then someone in the letter columns of a certain comic book announced that they were doing a fanzine for readers of that comic. Barb and Park both wrote in… Park liked the writing Barb submitted to the fanzine, and he wrote to Barb, and they began writing to each other. Then they started talking on the phone… they fell in love… they started visiting one another… and then they got married! (To each other!)
Barb co-founded and wrote for the award-winning website Sequential Tart, made by women about comics and other popular culture things. Then Barb started writing her comic Gun Street Girl… A little after that, they started adapting and editing manga for major American publishers importing manga (and sometimes their South Korean and Chinese counterparts) from the far side of the Pacific. Near the end of this, Barb and Park wrote the manga pitch The Hidden for TokyoPop, perfectly timed to appear the week that that company fell apart. Then Barb and Park wrote the sci-fi vampire graphic novel Half Dead, Park successfully completed his Ph.D. in literature, and eventually Park started writing his cyberpunk comic Swipe for Angry Viking Press.
These days, Barb and Park have written many more things, and they live happily together in Austin, Texas.
