Recent Praise - 2007 American Horse Publications Annual Awards
Tom was awarded 3rd Place Feature Article (magazines with circulation over 20,000) for the article "A Cross-Country Ride Like No Other" Equus, April 2007 cover feature.
"There are miles of difference between journalists and writers, between reporting and telling a story. This is a sterling example of the latter. The writer here never gets in the way of what is a most engaging tale. The writer never succumbs to sensationalism or sentimentality, easy temptations with a subject of this nature. Word selection, pacing, organization--it's all here, beautiful in its simplicity, so much hard work appearing so effortless."
