Exeter native and UNH grad Mark Dagostino got his start writing for the Boston Globe's NH Weekly section in the 1990s. He went on to a storied career at People Magazine, working in L.A. and New York City, where for over a decade (most recently as a Senior Writer) he sat down for exclusive interviews with a wide range of celebrities--Michael J. Fox, Lindsay Lohan, Robert Redford, the Olsen Twins, and Exeter's own Dan Brown among them--while also gaining behind-the-scenes access to such major events as the Oscars and Golden Globe Awards. He also covered a wide range of breaking news and human interest stories, including interviewing families at Ground Zero in the aftermath of 9/11.
Mark recently moved back to New Hampshire with his family, and in addition to starting his career in books, is about to start a new venture in his life—serving as Senior Editor at Tonic.com, a web-based media company focused on "good news," including charitable causes, green initiatives, and celebrity and entertainment stories designed to uplift and inspire. | 21

Join us for this very special event. Ashley Davis Bush (formerly Prend) will be leading a discussion about how to cope with grief during the holidays, which can be for many people the hardest time of the year to deal with the loss of a loved one. Transcending Loss: Understanding the Lifelong Impact of Loss and How to Make it Meaningful has helped thousands and thousands of grievers understand how to grieve and how to live with loss. Unlike other grief books that imply there is an “end” to the process, this book acknowledges and honors the lifelong process of integrating loss into life. It also shows how to channel pain into avenues that make meaning out of loss. Ashley is a licensed psychotherapist and grief counselor in private practice in Epping, NH. Her work focuses on coping with losses, searching for meaning, maximizing one’s potential, finding inner peace, and navigating transitions. Ashley shares her thoughts on her own experiences in her weekly blog “Transitions….where endings meet beginnings,” which can be found on her website, www.ashleydavisbush.com. Currently she is working on a book entitled “Peaceful Divorce.” We'll be circling our chairs in the back of the store for an informal discussion. If you are concerned about how you'll cope with grief during the upcoming holidays, or you know someone else who is, please join us.
