From John Edward's one book...

I love how this is the first quote on the blurb page opening John Edward's book "One Last Time", right after the heading "Praise for John Edward's One Last Time":

"My lifelong obsessive fear of death ended when I met John Edward. He put me in touch with my parents and others that I thought were dead. They are alive and still loving me."

--Patty Duke


Later in the book, he described going to see the Casper the Friendly Ghost movie with his wife and enjoying it so much, that he buys the soundtrack (I've always wondered when I see CDs like that in music stores, who buys them?).

In his other book, he reveals one of the three pre-arranged signs with his mom that he's kept secret, so that she can contact him from beyond through other psychics and he'll know it's her: Pooh-bear, since he has a big Winnie-the-Pooh collection ever since he was a kid.

I find the Long Island background to his book fascinating. (He's from there.) Long Island and New Jersey are undervalued American places (the recent attention to New Jersey from the Sopranos notwithstanding).
