Date: 2/08/2011 11 a.m.
Janet: (crying) Ohhhh.
Nate: Ma, are you OK, do you need a minute?
Janet: No, no, let’s keep going. Let’s just get this over with.
Nate: (to Tamara after a period of silence) Did you want us to comment now?
Tamara: If you have something to say, yes. We received the story in a series of transmissions, and in between those transmissions is a convenient place to comment.
Nate: And what kind of feedback are you looking for?
Tamara: Mostly the accuracy of events described, particularly the paranormal events. That and whether this sounds like him, like JJ.
Janet: (nods her head up and down).
Nate: Yeah, it sounds like him—he would have loved the ambulance ride. But how did he write this?
Tamara: It’s technical and complicated, just think of it as a kind of typewriter. He actually describes the process in detail later.
Nate: Typewriter? (looking surprised) He and I…
Tamara: Excuse me?
Nate: Never mind (shaking head).
Janet: What is it Nate?
Nate: We… I…. (sigh) Let’s just wait. I bet JJ writes about it, it will be easier that way.

Sometimes death wakes you up…
Death comes for us all, but when JJ Lynch dies, it’s one hell of a wakeup call. He’s forced out of the rut of his going-nowhere meat-life and must embrace his new after-life. With a gallows sense of humor, JJ fights his way through the five stages of grief on a journey you will never forget.
Along the way he has to confront the bardo (his own personal hell) and delicately tie up his loose ends. If he’s not careful, one of his loved ones will die.
Life is not easy, even when you’re a ghost.
Using technology developed at the University of Arizona, JJ communicates from beyond the veil to tell his mind-bending story of life beyond death in his own words.
