You are an amazing writer. You have the, in my opinion, rare ability to blend humor, reality and tension in just the right way. That, and the books themselves are…well, great beyond words. There. That’s a sufficient description. Good as it’s going to get, anyhow. As a thirteen-year-old attempting to write my own novel, I look up to you as a writer, for all the earlier stated reasons.
Thank you so much for writing! Can’t wait for Chocolate Covered Baloney!
Hello ,
My name is Becca and I am 12 almost 13. I read book one and now I am on book two . When I got finished the first book I couldn’t wait to read the next . I am just like April Grace . Her personality and mine mix very well . So when I was reading them I could relate and I truly did Laugh out loud! You are such an inspiration to me and I love that the books were Christian based and they really helped me in my daily life ! I absolutely can not wait until the third book comes out in august ! I am not a big fan of reading .. but when my mom gave me these i started reading and i couldnt not stop, one time I read for 2 hours straight and I didnt even notice ! That’s how good your books really are . I thank you for writing such great religious books to people . I know I really did enjoy reading them.
Thank you so much for telling me how my books have touched your life! Wow! Reading for 2 straight hours when you don’t really like to read is awesome. Good for you!
I’m glad you enjoyed April Grace and her wacky confessions, and I hope you’ll continue to love the series.
I LOVE your books. I’ve read the first one two times and i would read it a third time if you hadn’t come out with a second one which i just read in 4 hours. When i went to look for your book at the library, it was in the juvenile section. Well, since I’m 58 years old i was real surprised to find it there. But i don’t care because i can really identify with your stories and your style of writing. I am a country girl from Iowa whose family and country life upbringing is so similar to what your books portray. I can’t wait for number three. But in the meantime, i think i’ll read number two again. Thank you so much for clean, honest, down home humor.
Audrey, thank you for such heart-lifting/heart-warming comments! I’m so glad you enjoyed the books. I always say if my readers love reading the stories half as much as I love writing them, then I’ve accomplished my goal. The third book will be out next fall. I think you’ll like it.
Hi Ms.MCcrite!
In my church we have a library and I have been asking the librarian for any books she thinks that I might like and one day when I was checking out a few things she handed me a book I barely glanced at it and checked it out, she said someone else had read it and liked it, now let me tell you I have just recently become a reader, since I read your book in fact! I read it in six days, which for the size of it is like a record for me. I immediately snatched up the second one from our library the minute it was available and I just finished that one yesterday! I want to thank you for giving me the interest to read! So Please hurry up and write the third one! You should have sen the way I gawked and gasped as I read the second one “Cliques, hicks and ugly sticks” I plan to read them both again!
Thanks,
Signed: Wanting more!
GOD BLESS
You just made my day! Thank you so much for your enthusiastic comments. May you enjoy reading for many, many years to come. And may you enjoy other Confessions of April Grace as much as these first two!
(By the way, I have a daughter named Joy. One of my favorite names of all time.)
–K.D.
Aww you made me smile! Thank you so much! I would love it if you gave me the names of some of your other books! I would love to read them! I am 12 how old is your Joy? Thank you again!
My Joy is all grown up now. It seems like she should still be 12, but the years have a way of flying by! There will be a third “Confessions of April Grace” Chocolate-Covered Baloney next fall. I have three romance stories you might like, because they are sweet and clean. If you’ll go to your local public library and ask for books by Kathaleen Burr, they might have them or will be able to borrow them from another library for you. I hope you looked at April Grace’s Secret Confessions on my website. There are two short-stories for you to enjoy, and I will be adding more from time to time. Have a great day, Joy! Hugs to you.
Thanks, Joy. I’ll soon be working on the revisions with my copyeditor. I believe there is going to be a Facebook party, too, when the book is released, so keep checking in from time to time for details. If you haven’t gone to my author page ( http://www.facebook.com/K.D.McCrite ) and “liked” it, I recommend you do so; that way, you’ll get updates almost as soon as I know them.
I love your book “Cliques,Hicks,and Ugly Sticks.” I just got it for Christmas and haven’t read very much, but the part that I have read is really really good. I want to get all the books you write someday… Well that’s all I got to say so far..
KD, thanks for your encouraging note! I wanted to come visit, get to know you and boy (!), am I amazed at all you have written. What a surprise to find out you are the author behind Annie’s Attic mystery books as well!! You are giving me inspiration to journey on and hope for the future. Thank you for taking a moment to stop by this ol’ granny’s blog. I look forward to your posts as we follow along with Madison Woods, working on our plans. Thank you!
Thanks for your good words, and thanks for stopping by. I’ve been writing for a long time, and all that persistence finally paid off! I simply believed in myself, even when no one else did. I’m honored to be one of the Annie’s Attic mystery writers. Those books are fun to write. Well, actually all my books are fun to write! Good luck, Jeannie, in your own endeavors. I’m cheering you on!
Thanks, David. With the amount of novel writing I’m committed to, I don’t have a lot of time to write blog posts, but I’m actively looking for a few minutes to spend every day or two coming up with something new.

Hi K.D.
I love the new site. So pretty with the flowers. It made me happy to open it just now.
Big hugs,
Tess
Thank you, Tess! Hope you found some interesting things to read while you were there. Come again!!
Awesome job, as always! This is so nicely set up.
Thanks, Gordon!
I’m SO enjoying your book, K.D.. Your book trailer is one of the best out there, and it’s helped me picture your characters as I read.
Thanks, Jan! I love the book trailer. I think my publisher did a terrific job. I’m so proud to be writing for such a great company.
Great site K.d. Nice to visit and see the variety you have.
David. Hugs

Great website, K.D. Absolutely LOVE your book trailer.
Thank you, Claire! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
