Welcome to the world of Linda Aksomitis, where her storytelling weaves together three seemingly disparate historic worlds of interest: the dusty trails of frontier history, the growth of the snowmobile as an innovation, and the everyday adventures of a traveling saleslady navigating the prairies during the transformative decade of the 1980s.
As a writer of both historical fiction and nonfiction, Linda Aksomitis (MVTEd) brings stories to life with meticulous research and vivid details, many drawn from her own lived experiences.
Her characters are real, their struggles are tangible, and their adventures feel authentic because Linda grounds every story in historical truth.
Linda’s Magic Forest Adventures make the Old West accessible to beginning readers.
This series of easy chapter books retells folk tales, setting them in Gopher Gulch, a Western town, and the magic forest. Gopher Gulch adds cowboy culture and Western values to the retellings. Magic Forest, on the other hand, provides a home for all the characters you’ll remember from childhood. Meet the three little pigs, Red Riding Hood, the rabbit who loses a race to a turtle again, and more magical characters.
This series has been popular with ebook readers and audiobook listeners (free for those subscribing to Audible Plus).
Linda also has various standalone titles with traditional publishers, although many are no longer in print.
