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. Tommy Doonan is a frequent contributor to Trail Tales. In "Make It Happen- Just Write” Tommy offers sound advise to writers.
His short stories "A Quest for Love" and "Waiting Room Frenzy" are featured in the HTN Recommended readings tab. His recently published work, "Roundabouts and Highways" will join the list.
