Tawny the Bird: Who Would Rather Swim than Fly
by Linda Reed
In a highly entertaining, yet instructive debut intended for children, ages 6-7, Reed’s feisty Tawny, a determined young bird with the courage to follow her dreams, discovers her parents are her best source of support and guidance in the face of adversity. Parents and kids alike will enjoy Ms. Reed’s captivating storytelling as she inspires young minds to think outside-the-box.
Soul Shaken
by Shelly Ford
Written during the most difficult and tragic time of her life, Soul Shaken is the powerful and moving window into a mother’s soul. The words and feelings in this book are unedited and uncensored. What you will read is the pure reaction and emotion of a mother who is struggling to cope with, and understand the death of her 19 year old daughter. This is a topic that cannot be written about accurately by someone who has never experienced the loss of a child, but for someone who has suffered that kind of loss, the words ring truer than any others.
Book Signings
After traveling the world for fourteen years as an American Airlines flight attendant, Oklahoma author, basketball coach and Special Education teacher Linda Reed states, “The idea to help children think outside the box in order to achieve their goals and conquer any obstacles came to me early in my teaching career. It just took a few years for me to overcome my own challenges, one of which was obtaining an M.A. in Special Education. That’s why I love Tawny so much!”
Linda Reed has been sharing her special talents with students for over ten years now. Excited at finally launching her writing career, she looks forward to helping children reach their fullest potential through the art of storytelling for many years to come.
