Trail Tales, September, 2018

8/1/2018

Readers of this blog know that novels aren’t the only place where written treasures are hidden in the narrative. Some are revealed in the chapters of a novella, the paragraphs of a short story, or the flow of a poem. My walking buddies and I decided to make a range of written material available to other hikers who frequent the Buffalo Creek Preserve and Trail.

The article posted this month was written by Craig Scott. Titled, "Safe Harbor", the story is constructed around a poem that Craig published several years ago.

About - Craig Scott
Craig is an avid writer, hiker, and pastor. He loves the sea and all stories about pirates and treasure. More information about Craig is available in the January 2018 posting on this blog site.

Hidden Treasure Novels is proud to sponsor a column titled Trail Tales. The column appears in a newspaper geared to senior citizens but with an ageless readership audience.

Several authors have contributed short stories. Last month we lost one of our favorite contributors, Susan Wright Beard. Susan went home to be with The Lord. One of the last stories that she published was featured in the April edition of Trail Tales. We now dedicate the column to the memory of Susan. She was an encouragement to all of us.
