Happy Halloween from Wicker Man Studios! Here’s Liz from GUN STREET GIRL and a werewolf! (She’s not a werewolf. She’s just yelling at one. But we stuck what she’s yelling at behind her, because otherwise it was hard to get them both in the same shot.)
Anyway: We have a NEW book available! It’s THE TALKING CURE BOOK TWO: TRANSFERENCE or THE MAN IN THE LIGHT GRAY SUIT!
Here’s the pretty cover:
Here’s the details about it:
***** ***** ***** *****
Psychiatrist Dr. Cynthia Mann’s favorite patient, absurdly attractive thirty-something supernatural investigator Zach Cutter, has been–
–Wait. She’s not really supposed to have favorite patients.
But come on. Look at him.
And he feels the same about her. Why couldn’t she have just met him on a date?
Cynthia has a lot of complicated feelings about Zach these days, and they’re really starting to grow stronger. It’s not enough that he’s handsome and charmingly flirtatious, no– transference is a perfectly well-known phenomenon in therapy where the patient develops what they think are feelings for their therapist! It’s supposed to be a good sign, that they’re opening up!
It’s adding real magic into the mix that makes things worse. Zach’s traumatic memories related to his old boss, the sorcerer Aubrey Lowman– what exactly happened to that guy, anyway? What exactly caused Zach’s memory loss? Why is he so scared of finding out the answers?
Because little by little, the answers keep leading Cynthia and Zach closer to the biggest secrets… as well as closer to each other…

“This second installment in the series of books entitled The Talking Cure weaves a tale that explores the fragile boundary between reality and the supernatural, framed within the walls of a therapist’s office. This novel brilliantly balances the tension between two very different yet equally compelling characters—one caught in the grip of dark, otherworldly forces, and the other tasked with unraveling the psychological complexities of her patient.
This book explores the push and pull of the supernatural and psychology as we know it, as well as the client-therapist relationship. The situations that the characters are in are all believable, yet not like anything that you have read before. As with all of the Coopers’ characters, the reader really cares about Zach and Cynthia. Although it is not necessary to have read the first book to enjoy the second, I would highly recommend it. I enjoyed every page of this book, and it left me hungry for more.”

ANYWAY! Barb and I, as always, have been watching spooky movies for Spooky Season.
We started out finishing up September’s viewing activity, which was Lee Marvin in the old TV show M SQUAD, which was awesome. Then we watched Leslie Nielsen in POLICE SQUAD! (and the even sillier first NAKED GUN movie) which largely parodied M SQUAD (and a couple of other shows, to a lesser extent. (Before M SQUAD we watched Beverly Garland in DECOY, also an awesome show, which was like if Lee Marvin was a hot policewoman instead of a hot policeman, and in New York instead of Chicago.)
But then it was back to Spooky Season. We’ve been watching certain categories of things:
–Mexican horror:
–Poison for the Fairies,
–Blacker than the Night,
–The Black Pit of Doctor M,
–La Llorona (1933),
–La Tia Alejandra
–Spooky Sci-Fi films:
–First Man Into Space (more awesome than we expected!),
–I Married a Monster From Outer Space (more awesome than we remembered!),
–The Man From Planet X (more awesome than we expected!),
–The Blob (even more awesome than we remembered!),
–It! The Terror From Beyond Space ((way more awesome than we expected!),
–The Brain from Planet Arous (better than we expected!),
–Kaltiki, The Immortal Monster (always awesome!) and
–the original The Thing from Another World (always awesome!).
–Trashy films:
–Waxworks (I’d never seen it before, it was interesting),
–Waxworks 2 (I just watched the part with the parody of THE HAUNTING with Bruce Campbell)
And then recently:
–Carl Kolchak in the original made-for-TV movie THE NIGHT STALKER,
–the awesome made-for-TV-movie DON’T GO TO SLEEP and
–the Halloween episode of BEWITCHED, season 4, where Tabitha pops little monsters out of her Halloween book into the real world on Halloween
–Last night: Fear in the Night with Peter Cushing
–Tonight: CRYING BLUE SKY and CARNIVAL OF SOULS.
Whew! There’s other things going on (have I mentioned we’re an LLC now?), but they’re still secret. I keep meaning to make more On The Road With Barb And Park podcasts, but other things just keep needing attention instead. Maybe soon…
So, that’s all for now! Happy Halloween!
–Park (and Barb says hi, too)!
