Free Humor Book: Steering Gone Awry

Free 4/16-4/17! Click here for the link to Amazon. Read the book description below:

Tracy Heath recounts some of her most treasured and entertaining stories from her childhood in the Eastern Oregon desert. In this first book of her Country Misadventures series, you will be introduced to a pleasant wasteland where pheasants stroll through the neighborhood, and sagebrush and barbed wire fences are silhouetted in the vibrant, setting sun. 

She tells about being bullied by a steer:
“Since he wasn't a pet we promptly named him 'Reddy.' It had a nice ring to it and had next to nothing to do with the fact that his eyes glowed red.”

And find out what happens when a grade school child gets behind the wheel:
“Well, when all you need is one right foot that knows what it's doing, it's a sure shame to be stuck with a pair of lefties.”

You'll even read about coping with psychotic chickens:
“So we placed an order with the local feed store for 'assorted chicks.'....It wasn't until quite a while later that we learned the true meaning of 'assorted.'” 

You will find the stories intriguing and original. As you chuckle your way through them, these country anecdotes may bring back a few humorous memories from your own childhood.

Look Who Featured My Book!

This morning I found out that www.freebooksy.com featured my book today for the promotion! Pretty neat!

Let me tell you, it's a lot of work to get a book featured on a given website, especially one that gets some traffic. I submitted mine to quite a number of sites 10 days ago, and this is the first one to actually run it!

Thank you FreeBooksy for handpicking my title!

Book Going FREE

It's that time again! I'm running my book Steering Gone Awry for FREE August 22, 2012. Don't miss it!

I can't guarantee that it will make you laugh, because that could make for a nasty lawsuit. But I think it's highly probable that you will find it quite entertaining! And we all need a good chuckle now and again and again and again. :)

Shout Out to the Artist!

Hello, World! I wanted to post a shout out to the artist who created the front cover image for my book. His name is Joseph Rhodes, and I must say I am super pleased with his work!

That kind of art is totally out of my league, and I am really happy that I outsourced. I'm getting ready to contact him for a bid on the cover for my second book.

If you like his style, I encourage you to contact him! This image was created partially in GIMP, but I have also seen him do some pretty stunning hand drawings, so I think he would work with whatever you are wanting.

You can find Joseph Rhodes on Facebook--just send him a personal message explaining what you are looking for. Or you can contact me for more information.

I hope to drum up some business for him, because he deserves it!

FREE Kindle Book Promotion

Yes, for a very limited time, my debut book Steering Gone Awry is FREE on Amazon! I decided to run it for free to try to bump up my ratings and get the word out there that I have a book.

I am really pleased with the results so far. I'm currently sitting at #2 and #4 in the Top 100 Free in Humor > Comedy and Humor > Parenting & Families, respectively. Couldn't be happier!

It's been such an incredible learning process on how/when to promote, who to contact, what social media to use, etc. And I'm loving it! I didn't know that marketing could be so fun. :)

Round Two Underway

That's right, folks! I have officially started writing on my second book! I am extremely excited to be back at the keyboard with my crazy brain going fifty miles an hour--not a hundred, because what sleep-deprived person can do that?

Just this morning I started writing about an evil gang leader we had in my neighborhood called "The Pit Bull Pup." No joke.

Just stick around and keep checking in. It will only be a matter of time (and blood and sweat and tears) until my next book is out!

In the meantime, there will be a special deal on my current book Steering Gone Awry soon!

First Book Release

I am looking to release my first Kindle book by the end of the month. It is titled Steering Gone Awry and is a collection of short stories from my country childhood. Currently, I'm working with my illustrator to finish up the cover image. That project, along with some minor script editing, should pull together the loose ends. Look for the new release at the end of June, 2012!
