“The Wait Is Over” - Sundance & Big Billy TO BE Published by Coping Magazine
Does anyone out there still believe in the legend of Big Billy?
No?
Well, take a long look in your rear-view mirror at the reflection staring back at you – because, today he became very REAL!
The Sundance Channel, in close association with Team Sundance, is proud to announce that “The Story of Big Billy” has been chosen for publication by Coping Magazine in an upcoming issue.
The proposed dates for release will be anywhere after June 2013 to January 2014. They release six magazines every year that cover a two month period with each release.
This is an extremely proud day for me – a day that I thought would never come…and how I’ve waited so long and yearned so hard for the day when I would be able to deliver some good news on the cancer front.
For those who have known me from the beginning, or anywhere along the line, I’m sure that your chests are puffed out today as well:) And that’s because we all knew how much hard work it took to get to this point.

Such awesome news, Craig! I knew it would happen for you some day, and I'm so glad I'm around to see it. The publishing environment is a tough world, and it really says something about you that you were able to "get to yes" with a major magazine like this. Can't wait to see it when it comes out. Your librarian is darn proud of you! Big hugs and congratulations~AA

Yay!!! This is VERY exciting news. Thank you Craig, and you Ann, for your kind words, they really mean a lot...but this was all you Craig! I just provided the link and you made sure they got to know you! Very smart - though I think they would have published it just based on the story, but I'm glad you gave them the chance to know Craig and not just Billy!
Writing is such a gift and I'm so glad you are sharing that gift. You will touch many lives with the story and the quotes. That was a great idea they had grabbing those quotes out!
Just AWESOME!

Congratulations Craig. I
Congratulations Craig. I can't say I'm surprised. Knew it was just a matter of time. You have a gift for helping people with your words. I am not only happy for you but happy for all those people who are now struggling and will find comfort and understanding through reading your stories. Hoping this will motivate you to keep writing. Many of us are going through difficult times and could use some inspiration.
Jen, you too should be proud of your role. Your direction has helped to create a much bigger platform from which many others will benefit.
