"Love" gets published

[K.C.]

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!

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.

[Breeze]

Congratulations!!!

[Johnathan Colourfield]

well done KC

[K.C.]

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!

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.)

Congratulations, you quirky wordster!

 

 

[K.C.]

This is amazing Congratulations!!

[K.C.]

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!
