25.01.2022 Family photo - with my horse, Retro Double Smart (aka Smarty)

25.01.2022 The start of it all! Or rather ... back at the start!!

24.01.2022 On a sunny, but windy Sunday, it would be lovely to be curled up in a warm place reading my new book!! Even though I wrote it, so therefore, know every word contained within its pages I simply cannot wait to be able to read it printed as a book!! I am working really hard on getting it printed in time for Christmas. Perfect for people to buy to give to their loved ones as a gift showing that problems only become problems if you let them. Yes, there are exceptions but I would like to hope that my never-say-never attitude is shown throughout the pages and that it may offer hope to all that read it #IfYouFall...

24.01.2022 One step closer! - https://mailchi.mp/1d38ee8863a5/ifyoufall

After this prices will be $34.95 for the book and $30 for each of the cap colours. Cheers!

19.01.2022 I would like to thank my fabulous sister-in-law, Hayley Maudsley, for all the photos that she took that have been used in my book! Thank you Hayley

19.01.2022 Hi!! How is/was your weekend? Last week my publisher let me know that my book has gone to print! Through this week, they let me know that things are going ahead at speed!! I am so excited by this because it means that things are getting closer to the end. I can't wait till my book is ready to be released!!

19.01.2022 I am going to have promotional caps for sale - to do with my book! Today, I redesigned my author logo, to make it suitable for these caps! Thank you #michaellitfin for your suggestions towards this. What do you think??

18.01.2022 Things are getting closer and closer and this dream is becoming more real than ever now!! Today marked the launch of my very own website - www.traceylitfin.com. Head on over to find out more information!

17.01.2022 Have you ordered yourself a copy of my book yet? Jump onto my website - www.traceylitfin.com and order one today! You won’t be sorry that you did! Merry Christmas to you and your family, from me and mine xx

17.01.2022 Hi!! Just a short video introduction so that those who don't personally know me can put a face to a name!

17.01.2022 Lately, I have had several people asking ‘how do they purchase my book?’ At the moment, my book is available through my website. Which is www.traceylitfin.com. If you select the shop tab, you can select what you want, how many you want and then it will take you through to the checkout. It is also available from the Goomeri Post Office and through Niecy Kreisch’s Coffee Road, for those local people who are after it. In the New Year I plan on taking it further-a-field, but this is where/how you can purchase my book at the moment, and I will notify people through Facebook as I get my book available in more places!

16.01.2022 Big shout out to the team at Ocean Reeve Book Publishing for your help in turning this dream of mine into a reality. Thanks guys!!

15.01.2022 One day left of pre sale prices. After close of business tomorrow, the price of my book changes to $34.95 and the price of my caps change to $30. Makes sure that you order yours before tomorrow afternoon (12th), if you want to secure a pre sale price. Orders can be made at www.traceylitfin.com

14.01.2022 No video today! Sorry! I have been looking through my photos lately to find appropriate photos to put in my book! Well, what a trip down memory lane!! I have been growing my hair for the last couple of years and during the week before last week I decided it was time to go short (hair) again! This happened yesterday. (Photo) It has really surprised me, when going through my photos, that I have had short (or shorter - above shoulder) hair more often than I think!! On another no...te - my book is in the format and design stage now. It was quite EXCITING to see my manuscript back from the publisher for the final check before they handed it over to the format and design team, because it was in their format (font, line spacing, etc!) and it was no longer in the format that I sent it to them it to them. It made it seem as though it was a little more real ... that this is ACTUALLY happening!! Cheers Tracey

14.01.2022 I am truly blessed to have a family that has supported me through my accident. Nowadays, my daughter and (sometimes) my son, are keen to ride too. I am blessed that my daughter also shares my passion for horses!! It has been through her desire to be involved with horses, that I too, was able to get involved with horses again!

14.01.2022 Our girls, Candy and Smarty, grazing around the cultivation, outside our houseyard!

13.01.2022 Many people wouldn’t believe that I can do it, but I still saddle my own horse when I go riding!

13.01.2022 WOW!! What a morning!! Thank you to everyone who travelled out to my book launch!! Much appreciated xx

11.01.2022 It has finally happened! I picked my books up this morning!!

11.01.2022 Instead of 'Not Good Enough For Heaven ...' my book has changed names, to 'If You Fall ... Looking forward to sharing it with everyone!!

09.01.2022 Hello! How was this last week, for you! Please watch my video to find out about progress on my book! THIS IS STARTING TO GET A BIT EXCITING!! I can't wait to get it out and available for sale!!

08.01.2022 When I first approached my publisher about my book, I was asked if I wanted to have photos in it. Sure, I thought, but I wasn't sure which photos I would put in my book. My sister-in-law kindly took some photos for me, and I was going to use them. But they were all present-day photos. I went searching through the cupboard last week and the photos I came across - it was a real trip down memory lane! I posted a treasured photo of my first foal last week. A filly named Karala...h Chicka-Dee. This filly I had taught to lie down on command. But this filly, I also had to part with - because of my accident. This broke my heart selling her. When going through my photos, I found so many that fitted my book, because I had finished writing and my story is about a time period in my life and that is what photos capture!! These photos are two more - that have places in my story!! Tracey x

08.01.2022 Yip yip hooray!! As of today, a few local places that you can buy my book (for those who couldn’t make my book launch and don’t like buying things over the internet). Niecy Kreisch and Coffee Road will have copies available at the corner at Tansey. And after lunch they will be available for purchase at the Goomeri Post Office. Thank you to Niecy Kreisch and Sandi-lee Homer for allowing this to happen!

07.01.2022 Are you going to the day program of the NYE rodeo in Goomeri? Do you have yourself a copy of my book ‘If You Fall ...’ yet?? I will be at the day program of the rodeo, and the night program if there is enough interest, so why not drop in and say hello and grab yourself a copy of my book, if you haven’t already!! See you there!!

06.01.2022 Things are getting real now!! I just sent my manuscript back for the second round of editing!!

06.01.2022 OMG!!! My cover is up on my website and my book is now for sale!! Head over to www.traceylitfin.com to check it all out!!

06.01.2022 I sent my second edit back to the publisher this morning!! Yay!! One step closer now!!

05.01.2022 Hi, How are you going. I apologise to those who may have gotten a friend request from Tracey Litfin - Author yesterday. To those who accepted, I thank you. However, I was mistaken in what I was trying to do though! I created a new profile and was requesting friends, instead of creating a page on my existing profile and inviting you all to like and follow my page. So, hopefully I have done it right this time!... I have created this page, in preparation for the release of my book - Not Good Enough For Heaven ... Stay tuned for more information ... Tracey xx

05.01.2022 I have these trucker caps available for sale. Available in pink and blue writing on the front. Like the presale price for the books, these caps are cheaper to buy at the moment. From the day of the book launch, these caps will go from the $20 that they are now, to $30! Available for sale on my website also. www.traceylitfin.com

04.01.2022 Whilst making numerous decisions for a logo for my book, I thought this horse head was quite appropriate, as for my love and passion for horses.

04.01.2022 I hope that you can realise how I felt about this moment. It was a HUGE moment for me! When I decided that I would like to try get back into horse-riding again, I decided that if I was going to get back into it, I was going to have to do it ALL for myself. The WHOLE she-bang! From catching her in the paddock, putting on the halter, the saddle, the bridle, right through to getting on myself! Smarty, my horse, is absolutely amazing in what she puts up with from me.... I can catch her myself, I put the halter on myself. I manage to do it all for myself. Right up until the getting on part! This is where I run into problems. For those of you who know me, you would be aware on my challenges. Because of my accident, I have difficulties with my right arm and leg. Now, when getting on a horse, your right arm and leg play a vital part. I can no longer reach up to the back of my saddle, grasp it and pull myself up. So these days, I stand on a drum. Problem fixed - right??? Not quite. Remember that I also said I had problems with my right leg. So, when it came time to swing my leg over - I would find that my leg would catch on the back of the saddle or my foot would hit Smarty’s rump - and Michael or one of the kids would have to pull my leg over, so that I didn’t get stuck - half-way on!! Well, I decided that I was going to do a three stage blog, to put onto my website. Stage One was going to involve catching and putting the bridle on. Stage Two was going to involve putting the saddle on. Stage Three was going to be - getting on. I thought that I had photos of Stage One. I knew I had photos of Stage Two. So that left Stage Three - getting on. I enlisted Jacob to film me. Michael was there to help me, if I needed it. To my surprise - I DID IT MYSELF!! First time ever!! YAY!! EDIT : I know that Michael helped me with the last little bit and put my foot in the ox-bow. But I did the rest myself. The foot in the ox-bow can easily be fixed with a broomstick and a bit of time!!

04.01.2022 Its back to a foggy morning here at Tansey this morning! What's it like where you are??

03.01.2022 TWO FULL days of pre-sale left. Pre-sale runs until close of business Friday. Get in quick to grab my book and hats at a reduced price!! $29.95 for the book ($34.95 otherwise) and $20 for the caps ($30 otherwise).

02.01.2022 Eighteen years ago, it was thought that I DEFINITELY wouldn't be where I am today. But it is lucky that I wasn't going to let that fall from my horse beat me. It has been a long and (sometimes) hard road that I have travelled in years since but my grit and determination is starting to pay off. With only a few months left before the launch of my book (#IfYouFall) and with the launch of my website (to do with my book) within coming weeks, I would like to thank the team at Ocean Reeve Publishing for helping to make this dream a reality. I really hope that my book shows that although you might find yourself in some pretty hopeless situations - NEVER stop reaching for the stars. New heights can be reached even though you might be faced with some very dire predictions xx

01.01.2022 Only look back if it is to see how far you’ve come!,

01.01.2022 Just a short message!!
