Synopsis

A telepath is a nightmare with a mind like his...Professionally ruined, morally bankrupt and reflexively snarky, psychiatrist Derek Verbenk is a f*ck-up by even his own measure. Major errors in judgment have sentenced the once ambitious doctor to a career handing out prescriptions to rich housewives from his home office in Cherry Creek — until a superpowered new patient turns Verbenk's life upside down and his soul inside out. Romping through Denver, breaking through barriers of privacy, social isolation and even politics, Transference is an odd-couple quest toward redemption full of wicked humor and radical honesty. Transference was a finalist for the 2017 BookLife Prize, hosted by the indie arm of Publisher's Weekly, and is a Denver Post Staff Pick. Author Tim Pratt says, "Despite some powerful forays into darkness and despair, the book is ultimately about hope, redemption, and making human connections in a difficult world."Transference is participating in Colorado #ResistanceReads, a campaign for books that tackle current events and politics that also benefits Colorado charities. To honor the character of Janet Buckmann, 50 percent of profits from the novel will be donated to IRC Denver, a refugee-resettlement and aid non-profit, between Black Friday and Colorado Gives Day on 12/4/18.
