| History
Carol Fey & Associates, Inc. and P.I.G. Press were founded
in 2000 with the publication of the book Quick & Basic
Electricity. Carol had been teaching electricity classes
to plumbing and heating contractors in her job as the Honeywell
controls rep in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Wyoming.
When she decided to "write the book," first she
called Dan Holohan of Heatinghelp.com and asked him, "If
I write a book on basic electricity for contractors, would
you put it in your catalog?" He said, "Absolutely--write
the book." And so she did. The book was very favorably
reviewed by Popular Mechanics magazine, and sales
started before she knew what was happening.
Other books soon followed: Quick & Basic Hydronic
Controls, Quick & Basic Troubleshooting, and Quick
& Basic House Wiring. In the first five years, over
10,000 books were sold, primarily to plumbing and heating
professional contractors.
Besides writing books to make technical subjects easy, Carol
teaches live classes in basic electricity and controls. She
specializes in teaching what a contractor needs to know, and--as
importantly--nothing that he or she doesn't need. She has
a reputation for her playful and energetic style, and is known
as "The Pig Lady" because she uses a battery-powered
pink plush pig to teach electrical circuits.
Carol also writes a monthly column for Plumbing &
Mechanical (PM) Magazine. (Find a selection of
her articles in our Library.)
