"They're Not Gone" is the best book I've read in a very long time. I felt that I was in the same room with everyone involved. A.P. Morris has a way of bringing the events directly to you through her writing. I've always believed there are true psychics/Mediums in the world and after having a session with Rick Wood, I know it to be true. Thanks to both of them, I will never again have to wonder and wish I knew if my son is o.k. After a session with Rick, I know my son is a lot more than o.k. Many thanks to you both and keep up the good work." - Paula

"This book touches the soul and brings comfort to people who have loved ones who have passed on. Rick Wood is a gifted pyschic that shows how love can live on in the afterlife. I have given They're Not Gone to some of my friends to read and they all said what a wonderful book that I have in my collection. I encourage others to read this book and I promise you that you will walk away from this book feeling peace within you." - Kim

"I bought this book after having had a reading with Ricky Wood. He's the real deal, just as described throughout the book. One particular chapter struck close to home, in which a young man had died suddenly. I then understood the issues that had prevented me from "moving on" after my husband's suicide.
As stated before, Ricky is the real deal. He validated my husband's presence by telling me things no one else would have known. His advice to me was spot on, and I've coped much better since.
Read this book. Your spirits will be lifted after reading all of the stories." - jellybean55

"Started reading and COULD NOT put it down. The true stories are fascinating! After every story the author does a Q&A with Rick where he answers all the questions you want to know. This book is a MUST read for anyone that has lost someone. I feel truly enlightened after reading this book. Highly recommend getting yourself a copy right now! Better yet, buy this for someone searching for answers. They will not be disappointed. FYI....Rick has a website. [...]" - Started reading and COULD NOT put it down. The true stories are fascinating!

"After a rough time in my life I found myself in the need of guidance, so for the heck of it I did a search on the Internet, and came across Rick's website. I was surprised to see he was actually living in my area, and even more surprised to see how many people recommended him after experiencing his services. I thought it over for a bit, then held skepticism close as I made the appointment. A year and a half and a few sessions later, I recommend Rick's services to anyone going through a rough patch, to anyone who wants to reconnect with loved ones lost, or to anyone... well, just to anyone in general. If you've ever wished you could schedule a session with John Edward - I'm going to tell you now - don't waste your time sitting in an audience hoping to make a connection. Rick has proven to me, and many others, that he is the real deal, and he is not out of reach. I could understand how each of the people in this book felt as I read through their personal stories because I too experienced Rick's gift. I experienced him telling me something only two people in this world knew - one of those people being myself, the other, my best friend - my mom - who I recently lost. This book shares very personal moments, and it kept taking me back to my own personal experiences with Rick. If you have ever wished you could reconnect with a lost loved one but are skeptical - read this book. You may not agree with everything he says about the afterlife (and until we get there ourselves, we will never know for sure), but one thing is certain... loved ones are not gone. They just need a little help getting through. Thank you Rick for listening to them, and for passing their messages on. You truly are an amazing person." - Dawn Hoffman

"A.P. Morris accurately represented not only Rick's exceptional gifts, but confirmed a lot of my intuition I've felt all my life. What a sigh of relief! I believe that there are no coincidences in this world, and it was no accident that this book came highly recommended to me. In one afternoon reading, I enjoyed how A.P. Morris beautifully detailed each story and framed it with a Q&A with the psychic medium himself. One of the stories even brought tears to my eyes. I can't wait to pass along the book so others can benefit from its message. Recently, my paths crossed with Ricky. Having said this, I validate everything the author stated about him. He's the real deal committed to making a difference in this world. " - Molly Nece "Legacy Producer"

"An excellent book. I found the author did a good job in introducing the subjuect before the reading, and then followed up by asking the physic follow up questions. a very good book" - Ronald J. Moss

"Ricky Wood has such an amazing ability that is displayed so eloquently in "They're Not Gone." The author vividly captivated me throughout the entire book. Each short story shows how Ricky expertly enables people to reconnect with passed loved ones. Ricky's warmth and humor make these reunifications so natural - as if you were sitting in your living room just chatting with friends. Personally, the book inspired me and affirmed my positive outlook on life and the afterworld. I highly recommend this wonderful collection of fascinating reunifications!" - C. M. Glatt

"I really enjoyed the way the author interviewed people and then had an interview with Rick Wood about that person. It seemed like a very sincere, honest look at people's responses about death and the spiritual feelings about those that have passed away. Whether you believe in psychic mediums or not, the stories are very moving and enlightening. Amy Morris makes you feel that you are there with her during her interviews and with humor and great feeling makes you want to believe that there is a way of finding out if your loved ones that have passed on are happy and content or if they have left something here on this earth unfinished. It may be something as simple as "smile, God loves you," or a message that you need to pick up and get on life. This is really a piece of literature that answers several questions about when you have left this earth. A great read for those that like diversity in their sharing of good books. Thanks Amy and Rick." - Sharon H. Morris "equine rider"

"I purchased this book after having a session with Rick Wood. My wife of 41 years died 20 months ago, and a friend recommended I meet with Rick. Although skeptical, I made the appointment and met with him last November. Without elaborating here, I would only say that this was one of my life's most incredible experiences. I left the meeting with Rick with questions answered and a feeling of great relief that I had not felt since her death.

Since I wanted to understand more about what I had experienced, I purchased this book the next month. The book follows a short story format with questions and answers after each story. The 13 stories chronical actual people from the area where I live, which added to its authenticity for me. I found that there were elements of each story that mirrored my own, further validating my experience with Rick. But more important, I found that the questions posed by the author and answers given by Rick helped me to understand his interpretation of his interaction with those who have passed. I appreciated the author's persistance in repeating or elaborating on a question to seek an answer that would truly clarify what is obviously a complicated subject.

The book is simply written and easily readable. It is not intended to be academic or theoretical, so those wanting more basis or background may find it lacking. But for the average person who would like some kind of confirmation that there is another level of existance beyond the human form, this book should meet that need." - P. Grazier "Peter Grazier"

"I just finished reading They're Not Gone and I feel inspired. It was so intersting I had a hard time putting it down when I needed to do other things (like sleep). I find Rick to be a warm thoughtful and extremely talented man. I enjoyed the writing style which made it a very quick read. I want to thank A.P Morris for writing this book and Rick Woods for sharing these stories. This book is going to help so many people move forward and not be afraid of things that they don't understand. It is a MUST READ for anyone who has the slightest interst in knowing the truth." - Jeanne Gardner "J. Gardner"

"I loved this book! A.P. Morris not only beautifully recounts people's experiences with being reconnected with loved ones who have died, but also presents ideas that really make one think about why we are here and what happens after we die. After each personal account, the author includes an interview with Ricky Wood. Each interview explores may interesting ideas about life and death. It is truly a positive and inspiring book. I think it would be a comforting read for anyone who has experienced loss of a loved one. I would recommend it to anyone as a great read!" - K. Stockar "Busy Mom"

"A.P. Morris has presented a collection and true stories which is factual and well presented. Personal opinion and religious beliefs and faith developed from scriptures against true stories can cloud psychic/medium Rick Wood's actual interaction with the spirits of after life. As a skeptic I feel Rick Wood is being misled on realities of after life." - Sigmund Paul

"They're Not Gone is a wonderful eclectic compilation is shared stories that touches the heart and soul of the reader. Written in an easy to read format, the reader is transformed on a journey of peace as Ricky Wood shares his incredible gift of psychic mediumship to show us that there is life after death.As a health care professional I highly recommend this book to anyone who has to deal with loss. Ricky Wood transcends traditional boundaries and opens his heart in helping people find peace never before thought possible. A.P. Morris has established herself as an author for this generation. A Must Read! Once you begin, you truly won't be able to put it down!" -Susan J. Walsh

"I am grateful that Ms. Amy P. Morris wrote this wonderful, uplifting book. Her interviews with Psychic Medium Ricky Wood and his clients trying to reconnect with passed loved ones is a tribute to love and all its healing properties. The emotions from "both sides of the fence" are raw and honest. The runions remind us that the Universe and our loved ones Reading these tender encounters, reminds me that the Universe and our loved ones are sending us a P.S. I love you, no matter what or where. Love's energy cannot be destroyed. This book helps us to reflect on being truly present for ourselves and loved ones here on earth, no matter the present circumstances. The interviews and connections are often humorous and as tender as an old fashioned love story. Ms. Morris' book creates a safe space to explore the world of grief and shares a "door" to open for potential healing via Ricky Wood. Read it! Raise your Hope for today's business of living." - ynita

"I loved this book. I was so worried about my grandfather when he passed and this book made me feel so much better. I also loved the question and answer part at the end of each story because I always wonder how and why. This was a quick read, I couldn't put it down. It just make me feel good." - d lucci

"I have read several books by pyschics and mediums, and found this format to be beneficial to both the author and Ricky Wood. The author, A.P. Morris, used each chapter to tell the story of a person who had received a message from a loved one through Wood; then after each chapter Morris has a Q&A with Wood and asks all of the questions the reader is thinking while reading the preceeding chapter! I almost felt like I was having a conversation with Ricky while I was reading the book. While I have not had a reading with Ricky I trust that he is truly a gifted medium, because the information he was able to give to those he has never before met was specific and personal. I have already passed my copy of the book along to friends, and plan on purchasing another copy because I know they will enjoy it so much that they will want to keep it!" - Pamela Badolato "Lifelong reader"

"I read this book on a flight and didn't put it down until I was finished. From the time I started reading I was hooked. After having my own experiences with the loss of loved ones, I was immediately in tune with the message of the book. I've never felt like my loved ones have truly ever left my heart, and after reading A.P. Morris' book on psychic medium Ricky Wood, I felt even closer to them. The book, which if full of REAL life readings connecting the planes between the living and the afterlife through one man's compassion, humor, and perfect delivery, helps us all to understand how to better communicate through our hearts to those who have passed on. " - S.N

I would recommend this book to EVERYONE. Death is a part of life, and the more we learn about it, the better prepared we may be when we are faced with grief. I laughed, I cried, and I smiled throughout the whole book. Ricky Wood's gift has brought peace to so many, and A.P. Morris was able to capture the essence of this gift and put it into words that we can all understand and cherish.

Looking forward to reading it again, this time in the privacy of my own home :)

"I highly recommend this book. It's about psychic/medium Rick Wood and his real life interaction,readings, and sessions with others told in story format. Once I started reading I couldn't put it down. I loved the content, the format, and the writing style. The author, A.P. Morris, makes you feel like you are present in each story and does an excellent job of conveying how humorous and humble Rick is. For any skeptics, one key to this book is the validation Rick uses with each person to ensure them it is indeed their loved one. Once this validation occurs, participants become more trusting and open to receiving information, and so do you. Reading this book may change your present way of thinking, perceptions, beliefs, and raise your consciousness. Talking with Rick will enhance your life. He is the real deal and so is the book." - L. Harrod

"As an avid fan of books about spirituality and the "afterlife", I couldn't wait to read "They're Not Gone" by A.P. Morris. This is a must read for anyone seeking a better understanding of how and why spirits contact us. Morris' writing style made me really feel for the characters. I especially appreciated the photograph's after each story, as well as the Q & A with psychic medium Ricky Wood. Even though it was written in a "Chicken Soup" style that could be read one chapter at a time, once I started reading, I couldn't put it down! I highly recommend this book and I anxiously await Morris' second book? " - T. Hurst

"They're Not Gone by A.P. Morris is an amazing book! It's a must read for anyone who has questions about what happens to our loved ones once they're physically gone. It helped me see a whole different perspective on life. Rick Wood is a very gifted man, it's wonderful how he helps people! I love the question and answer section after each story, very insightful! I'm buying copies of this book for numerous members of my family! It has given me a peaceful feeling just from reading about everyone else's experiences. Wonderful book!!! " - Aimee Eveland Dick

"I recently read "They're NOT GONE" by A.P. Morris, and it was a wonderful quick, steady, enjoyable read for the layperson as well as one who has
read many similar stories. I enjoyed the questions asked. This book put a 'different' spin on questions about the afterlife. It was a deep yet understandable
read with the questions and answers getting to the point quickly and simply put. The humor and straight talk was the best. Rick has a profound gift. He is blessed. And to share
this 'gift' with others, he is DOUBLE BLESSED!

I thought I had read most of these type of books dealing with the metaphysical and afterlife studies, but I would highly recommend THIS to people not
familiar and also those that are VERY familiar with the subject at hand. I particularly liked the people in the stories, they were warm and very real. Those
HERE and THERE. It will give comfort and hope to the 'grieving' that are trying to put their lives back on track after a loss; and it will give 'pure inspiration' to
the seekers among us. Very Very enjoyable read. You will be comforted by this book for it is a 'warm hug'. So, break out the Hot Cocoa and sit by the fire for
this is a wonderful 'experience'. Highly Recommend." - B. A. Sobocinski

"What a wonderful book filled with touching stories and fabulous information on reconnecting with your loved ones. A.P. Morris brings the stories to life and you can not put this book down!! After each story Ricky answers questions and his answers may surprise you..." - Marianne J. Walls

"No matter what belief system you hold close to your heart, we are all very aware that our time here (life as we know it to be now) is only for a period of time. That amount of time is unknown to us all. Coming from the perspective of watching someone die painfully from cancer, there is something so very ccomforting in reading "They're Not Gone." I wish I knew then what I know now after reading this book. I would have felt content in knowing that I was able to prepare John for what he was about to encounter as he left this world. This is a MUST READ for everyone who loves anyone. There were so many questions I had in experiencing the various stages of death with him that were answered in this book. Thank you" - Janelle

"They're Not Gone is a powerful and compelling compilation recounting the experiences of 13 people who have reconnected with loved ones who had passed through the visionary talents of psychic, Rick Wood. A.P. Morris has a beautiful and heartfelt way of capturing the true essence of each person's experience and conveys it beautifully to the reader. This book will change the way you view death. A must read for all spirituality seekers!" - Melissa H. Melchior

"The author does an amazing job of capturing the essence of all the emotions that a person experiences when making a spiritual connection with loved ones who have passed. This book validated my belief in the spiritual connection with each story the author shared. This author is truly gifted in her writing abilities! "- A. Osborne

"This eye opening book really brings and sheds light on the passing of our loved ones by true stories from everyday people. As a collective and intuitive psychic medium, Rick Wood has a gift that allows him to communicate and receive messages from the otherside. We all have questions as to "Why" and "Where" our spirits go, after life on earth. Do our love ones, remain here on earth? This book really allows you to experience the connection between spirit to spirit. A MUST READ!!! " - Halle B.

"A.P.Morris..truly captures these 13 people's heart felt journeys with her words in the book.I have been looking forward to this book comming out for along time,I have been a client of Rick Wood for 3 years and he is THE REAL DEAL!!.A.P. Morris describes Rick's personality..to a tee!!!He's funny,caring&you feel like your sitting down with an old friend that wants the best for you when you talk with him!If you've lost a loved one and your looking for peace,this book is a MUST READ!!!!" - Mary Milton

"I love this book! What an awe inspiring book of "real life" stories from people who have lost loved ones. Ms. Morris tells the stories as if you are part of the readings. I should know, I was one of them....I shared my book/our story with my sister before sharing with the rest of my family, and she said about our story, that it brought back so many "things" that she had forgotten. I am planning on giving the book to my sisters and brother for Christmas. I was very blessed to be a part of the project and now have permanent record for myself and my children to have about their grandfather for years to come. Many of the stories bring tears to your eyes. I can't tell you how much Ms. Morris's storytelling has deepened by belief and faith that "They are NOT gone!!" The insight into how Ricky Wood "works" is also very fascinating as well." - Debra Y. Siple

"This book not only tells the stories of people who have had life changing experiences with psychic/medium Rick Wood, but the question and answer session following each story gives us insight in to how these experiences are for him. We've all watched shows like "Crossing Over" with John Edwards with a great deal of skepticism, because it is never explained how he or any other psychic/medium receives messages from the "other side" , and many of us assume that the readings are staged or scripted. Rick gives us details of how these messages are given to him, and how he in turn relays the information to his clients. I particularly liked reading about his history, and how his psychic/mediumship experiences began.
The true stories in this book of the people whose lives have been touched by Rick Wood are amazing." - M. Gayton
