Tunnel Vision

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Several people have helped me with technical matters in the writing of this book, and I would like to thank them for their generous time and expertise: Dr. James Stellar, provost of Queens College; Dr. James F. English, Mount Auburn Hospital, Cambridge, Massachusetts; and Karen Zoeller, R.N., Massachusetts General Hospital. Thanks also to Cathie Gould for her insights on spirituality.

One book that was indispensable in writing this novel is The Near-Death Experience: A Reader, edited by Lee W. Bailey and Jenny Yates (New York: Routledge, 1996).

Also, a special thanks to Kathy, Nathan, and “Diamond Dave” Goshgarian, my ace in the hole.

As ever, thanks to my editor, Natalia Aponte, and my faithful agent, Susan Crawford.
