Popular Post K.C. Posted February 29, 2012 Popular Post Posted February 29, 2012 I know that several of you noticed that my story “Love is in the Cards” was removed from GA stories in January. I got a lot of PM’s asking where it went and people wanting to read it for the nomination list. I just wanted to say thank you for everyone who nominated my story for the 2011 Readers Choice Awards, unfortunately I had to ask GA to remove the story as requested by my publisher. I’m thrilled to announce that my story is going to be published in June. It’s a dream come true. I’ve been writing for years as a hobby, but the last few years I’ve become more serious about my writing. I just want to thank all of the readers that have encouraged me with their comments and reviews. Even the harsh reviews have helped me become a better writer and I thank you for it. It helped push me to try even harder to accomplish this goal. So many GA authors have given me helpful tips and pointers to become better and I can’t say thank you enough! Last, but not least, my beta/editor Rustle. I don’t know how he has put up with me. Without his help, I would not have grown as a writer and I guarantee that I would never have gotten a publishing contract. I have learned so much from him. He has patience with me and helps bring my scattered thoughts back into focus. Rustle, you are the bestest! ß Hehe Without GA, I don’t think this would be possible. Thank you everyone! KC Grim 16

John Doe Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 My heart did a gazillion flutters for you! I'm excited for you! This is awesome. I know you can't reveal too much info, but is the title still going to be the same? Published under what name? KC Grim? Just so I know to look out for it.
K.C. Posted February 29, 2012 Author Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Awww thanks so much guys! I don't think I could have done this without your support. Maria, I'm dancing with ya babe! Andy, I love writing so much, I'm so super-duper-thrilled to have the awesome people here at GA read my stories and now I also get to share it with the world...I'm on cloud nine! John, the publisher likes the title so we are going to try to keep it the same. K.C. Grim is my real name so that's what it will be published under. Thanks, Riley, Graeme, Benji and Tim, all of your encouragement means the world to me Wow 3 posts at once! Thanks Breeze and Jonathan! Edited February 29, 2012 by KC Grim
W_L Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Wow, Congrats! Great to hear that you are now published Do you know where it will get distributed? Boston probably might have a few bookstores that will carry it. (I am still writing as a hobbyist, but I am so glad you took it to the next level.)
K.C. Posted March 1, 2012 Author Posted March 1, 2012 Thanks W_L, i'll let everyone know more when I do. Frosty! I'm always glad to see someone who enjoys my quirkiness. Thanks so much for all of your help, encouragment and support.
comicfan Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Damn, I got to Congratulate you again? I'm very proud of you and happy for you. Wayne
K.C. Posted March 1, 2012 Author Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Thanks Wayne, I thought the readers needed to know why the story vanished. It was yours and their kind words, awesome reviews and encouragment that pushed me to try to get published. Before it was taken down, I went back and re-read the reviews and yours were ones that really had me scrambling back to editing and revising. I wanted to present the best story possible. Your approval means a lot to me! I was honored that so many people liked it enought to nominate it for the Readers Choice Award and now I can share it with the world. You have been such a good friend! Thanks Intune! Edited March 1, 2012 by KC Grim
