Lisa Williams is a fairly well know British medium/clairvoyant and she's fabulous. Her show was featured on Lifetime television and she's warm and engaging. She has a book out (can't think of the title but I have read it) and it's very much in her own voice) - definitely recommend her.

Here's some links to books about/by mediums, who mostly claim to communicate with the "crossed over" as opposed to those who report helping the confused deceased make it "into the light." I've asked a friend who does the latter to weigh in with some recommendations; will pass 'em along.
John Edwards
Gretchen Vogel
Gordon Smith
Mark Ireland/Richard Ireland

Some "retrievers":
Gordon Phinn
Bruce Moen
The Monroe Institute
Just in case, there's a lot of links to/about the real-life inspiration behind the Ghost Whisperer, Mary Ann Winkowski.
