Carsen Taite Biography & Facts
KG MacGregor (aka Sue A. Greer, born October 22, 1955) is an American writer of lesbian fiction. She has authored over two dozen lesbian romance novels, collecting a Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Romance and nine Goldie Awards from the Golden Crown Literary Society, including the Ann Bannon Popular Choice Award. MacGregor served six years on the Board of Trustees of the Lambda Literary Foundation, including two years as board president. Early life and education KG MacGregor was born into a military family and attended public schools in North Carolina, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania, graduating high school in 1973. She enrolled in Appalachian State University and earned a BS in education in 1976. In 1984, MacGregor was fired from a teaching job after being outed as a lesbian. She changed careers, returning to college for an MA in Mass Communication from the University of South Florida in 1990 and a PhD in Media Research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1994. Her PhD dissertation is entitled Media Use and Knowledge Acquisition: The Cycle of Learning from the News. With a focus on political and issues polling and strategic audience analysis, MacGregor built a market research clientele that included newspapers, magazines, government institutions, and non-profits. From 2000 to 2004, she was director of research for TRAC Media Services, which provided programming and fundraising support for public television stations. Writing career MacGregor's writing career began in 2002 when she posted lesbian Fan fiction for the Xena: Warrior Princess fan community. In 2006, Bella Books published her first romance novel, Just This Once. MacGregor's romance saga, The Shaken Series, was called “ground-breaking” by Left Bank Books. Discussing the challenges of romance writing with Lambda Literary editor William Johnson, MacGregor described “the boundaries of the genre, i.e., two characters will overcome conflicts to be together, and their story will end on a happy or hopeful note” but said she can't accept “that it has to be utterly predictable. My challenge with each story is therefore to deliver a credible surprise.” In an interview with Relationshipsarecomplicated.com, MacGregor noted that her favorite stories feature “characters who face challenges together and discover how love makes them stronger,” adding that she is “proud of any book that inspires readers to the virtues of kindness, honesty and courage.” Works (All Works Published by Bella Books unless noted) Standalone novels Bringing Me Dreams (2022) ISBN 978-1-64247-406-0 The Lucky Ones (2019) ISBN 978-1-64247-041-3 The House on Sandstone (2019) ISBN 978-1-59493-076-8 A Proper Cuppa Tea (2018) ISBN 978-1-59493-607-4 Moment of Weakness (2017) ISBN 978-1-59493-557-2 Trial by Fury (2016) ISBN 978-1-59493-492-6 Touch of a Woman (2015) ISBN 978-1-59493-465-0 T-Minus Two (2015) ISBN 978-1-59493-452-0 Life After Love (2014) Anyone But You (2014) ISBN 978-1-59493-407-0 West of Nowhere (2013) ISBN 978-1-59493-345-5 Etched in Shadows (2013) ISBN 978-1-59493-373-8 Rhapsody (2012) ISBN 978-1-59493-293-9 Playing with Fuego (2012) ISBN 978-1-59493-313-4 Photographs of Claudia (2010) ISBN 978-1-59493-168-0 Worth Every Step (2009) ISBN 978-1-59493-142-0 Sea Legs (2009) ISBN 978-1-59493-158-1 Secrets So Deep (2008) ISBN 978-1-59493-125-3 Sumter Point (2007) ISBN 978-1-59493-089-8 Out of Love (2007) ISBN 978-1-59493-105-5 Just This Once (2006) ISBN 978-1-59493-087-4 Mulligan (2005) ISBN 978-1-59493-070-6 Malicious Pursuit (2004) ISBN 978-1-59493-118-5 Series Shaken Series #1: Without Warning (2008) ISBN 978-1-59493-120-8 Shaken Series #2: Aftershock (2008) ISBN 978-1-59493-135-2 Shaken Series #3: Small Packages (2009) ISBN 978-1-59493-149-9 Shaken Series #4: Mother Load (2010) ISBN 978-1-59493-204-5 Shaken Series #5: Words Unsaid (2021) ISBN 978-1-64247-281-3 Short stories “A Thankless Job” (2021) “Ship of Fools” (2021) “Every Single Vote” (2019) “Mulligan: Best Ball” (2012) “Luck of the Irish” (2012) Anthology contributions In This Together (2021) ISBN 978-1-64247-333-9 Happily Ever After (2016) ISBN 978-1-59493-542-8 Undercover Tales (2007), published by Brisk Press Awards 2019: A Proper Cuppa Tea – Golden Crown Literary Award Winner, Ann Bannon Popular Choice 2017: Trial by Fury – Golden Crown Literary Award Winner, General Fiction 2016: T-Minus Two – Golden Crown Literary Award Winner, Romantic Suspense/Intrigue/Adventure 2013: Playing With Fuego – Golden Crown Literary Award Winner, Romantic Suspense/Intrigue/Adventure 2011: Photographs of Claudia – Golden Crown Literary Award Winner, Contemporary Traditional Romance 2010: Worth Every Step – Golden Crown Literary Award Winner, Contemporary Traditional Romance 2009: Secrets So Deep – Golden Crown Literary Award Winner, Romantic Suspense/Intrigue/Adventure 2009: Without Warning – Golden Crown Literary Award Winner, Contemporary Traditional Romance 2008: Out of Love – Golden Crown Literary Award Winner, Contemporary Traditional Romance 2007: Out of Love – Lambda Literary Award Winner, Lesbian Romance Other recognition 2011: Keynote speech entitled “Walking the Trail” at Golden Crown Literary Society's annual conference.
