About Jade Heasley
Jade Heasley is an author who keeps readers laughing about her true tales of her happy childhood during the magical time known as the 1980s, and challenging them to chase their dreams and think outside the box with her works of fiction.
During her childhood, she developed a love of books and from early on began dreaming of seeing her name in print. Although she assumed that becoming an author was unlikely, she couldn't let go of the idea and chased her dream. Her humorous memoir, 1980s Kid was published in 2008, followed by her first novel, Bratty Becky and the Firecracker Kid in 2009.
In 2010, she debuted her novella entitled The Incorrigible Dreamers, her first book that wasn't a humorous story. Audiences were intrigued by the book's unusual premise, and it resulted in radio interviews on both internet and traditional broadcast radio shows from Connecticut to California.
Heasley's fourth book, How to Rule the World is a novel mixing her humorous style and some serious themes to tell the story of a college student whose summer break turns into an unexpected journey of pursuing dreams and ambitions, and disillusionment.
A Professor's Book of Secrets for College Success was released in 2014. This non-fiction book, filled with short tips to help students succeed in college, was drawn from her experience as a professor. She was deeply disturbed to learn that the national college dropout rate was over 50% and wanted to share some actionable information that any student could put into practice.
Some time between her birth in Pennsylvania and the publication of 1980s Kid, Heasley earned degrees from the University of Valley Forge and Lock Haven University. In addition to writing, Heasley is a professor at the Pennsylvania College of Technology in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
