People Who Might Like This Book

With four weeks to go, there are several "categories" of people who might like this book and you may know some or many of them. Now I realize nobody really wants to be categorized, but this is marketing, baby, so here we go with "people who might like this book:"

• Anyone who has lost someone they loved and is still living with the pain of it.
  
• Bereavement counselors and hospice workers: These people are on the frontlines of death and dying and work all the time with people who are both fearing death and fearing the loss of someone they love. Some people in the throes of this process have read the book and are finding it helpful.
• Psychologists and psychotherapists: There are generally accepted protocols for grief and loss that are gently challenged in the book. This group of people (I used to be one of them!) may be open to a different take.
• Gay men: It's a story about a gay couple which may capture the attention of other gay men who, like everyone, appreciate seeing their own lives and experiences reflected in popular culture. Not to mention the depth of unprocessed grief in this community from having survived the early days and first wave of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
  
• Lovers of the memoir genre: it's a real, true story
• Spirituality seekers: This book is right up the alley of anyone who is drawn to new age and contemporary spirituality teachings.
  
• Metaphysicians/clairvoyants/mediums: These can be scary words to the un-initiated, but it just means people who are interested in and/or can communicate themselves with "the other side."

To name a few. Please don't limit your imaginations only to these groups of people for many who don't fall into any of these categories, specifically, have shared with me with ways in which this book has touched them that I never could or would have imagined.

May I count on you to help me find some of these folks? If you know any, would you please send them a link to the site? (www.anextrayear.com)

I thank you very much.
