As a writer, the best thing in the world is when someone reads your work and connects with it. This could include book reviews, letters to you, or mentions on a blog. Connecting with a reader means more than a heavy paycheck and fame. (Not that those things aren’t nice too.)
Still, when you get one of those “wow – they really understood where I was coming from” moments from a reader, it’s a special feeling. I received a review recently for my diabetes-related book, 21 Simple Things You Can Do To Help Someone With Diabetes
Here’s the link on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1TBYKP6CHRXAM/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm
This reviewer “got” what this book was about, and I’m thrilled. It is always your hope that a review will connect with someone looking for the exact kind of writing that you put out there.
