Books, Story Starters for Kids, Author Visits, Writing Workshops & Incentives

Linda's story starters for kids are called Story Doodles because that's what they are. Doodles - bits of ideas to get kids motivated to write. The newest Story Doodle is an unfinished poem taken from one of her composition notebooks. Finish the poem and make it your own. Linda's favorites will be published here!

Read all of the books in The Time Bridge Travelers series . . . excerpts from each book are here! This is what Children's Booktwatch had to say in their July 2007 review:

'The Time Bridge Travelers' by Linda Ayers is a series of deftly crafted fantasy adventure stories for young readers that hold the distinction of each individual title being able to be read and enjoyed independently of the others. Available in both hardcover and paperback editions, this outstanding and imaginatively written series is enhanced with illustrations by Ryan Ayers.

Travel back in time to 1936 Texas and learn about the Gainesville Community Circus and the Texas Centennial Exposition in the latest book by Linda Ayers, The Time Bridge Travelers and the Time Travel Station: Book 3. See more great photos of the Gainesville Community Circus here: www.geocities.com/gvilletx/


Texas author Linda Ayers writes hilarious poems and fun easy readers too!

Want to write your own stories or poems? Be sure to check out Story Doodles, Linda's story starters for kids, and links to other web sites for writers.

Linda’s hobby is spinning yarn on her spinning wheel, which looks remarkably like the spinning wheel that is the time travel machine in the Time Bridge Travelers series. Invite her to visit your school if you want to watch her spin yarn on her spinning wheel and hear her “spin a yarn” by telling stories from her books. Or, schedule a writing workshop for kids.

Reed Elementary 4th graders in Allen, Texas present Linda with a Texas sized thank you card
for the writing workshop she taught at their school.
What fun it was writing poetry together!
