Marketing my books on Spiritual Journeys to Ireland

I am playing with Where Eat, Pray, Love Meets Outlanders. But I welcome your suggestions for a closer match. Although my books are spiritual and travel journeys, they are fiction, not memoirs. They are inspired by my travels and insights but fictionalized. And, although ancient standing stones and ancient sites feature heavily in both books, they are not historical fiction like Outlanders.

So friends and blog readers, come up with a spot-on Where X Meets Y and I will send you free copies of both the newly realized Celtic Spirit and of Amidst the Stones of Celtic Ireland.
