Married Geek Couple Ep 23: THE TALKING CURE, Chapter One

This is the first chapter of our prose novel THE TALKING CURE. I, Park, am the person reading it out loud. We'll get back to our Road Trip episodes again at some point, but for now, I learned from working with the first chapter of SONG TO THE SIREN that these are too long to embed (if that's the proper term) into a page of our website... And I didn't want to divide it in half... so here it is as an episode of our podcast. (It starts after 10 seconds.)It's our hope that hearing the first chapter read aloud will pique people's interest and make them want to read the whole book.https://www.amazon.com/Talking-Cure-Magic-Through-Psychiatry-ebook/dp/B0D88FT5NWSo, there's the link for the whole book.
