How to connect with today's readers

Connection is an intention of mine, from a few different angles. From my perspective, connection with readers is a very dynamic experience.  It looks like, as an author, that I am writing my book on my own, as if it is a solo task.  And sure, often I am alone.  However, the readers are constantly on my mind.  While writing, I am always considering who the readers are, what is relevant and interesting to them and how can I meet them where they are?  Furthermore, where can we meet each other?  Obviously, we meet when my words resound within their minds as they read and what then?  A blending of us, into something bigger, that integrates the two.  Maybe my words sit on someone’s shelf.  Maybe the book is opened often and greased by use during cooking.  I hope so.

I have felt drawn to writing a book, and a cookbook, for as long as nutrition and health has been a passion of mine, which has been a very long time.  But the seed for Eat to Beat Alzheimer’s, was planted specifically in a conversation that I had with my step-father a few years ago.

In the book, I write about our relationship and what he meant to me.  My step-father was an important figure in my life, and when he was very ill, and dying, I went to spend time with him while he was in the hospital.  And although he was very important to me, I was never sure how important I was to him.  In other words, he didn’t make much effort, perhaps didn’t know how, to connect with me on a deeper level.  That is, until we were alone in the hospital.
