Tommy Carbone writes from a one-room cabin on the shores of a Maine lake, where moose outnumber people three to one.You can read about moose, game wardens and poachers, in his novel, "The Lobster Lake Bandits - Mystery at Moosehead." Tommy's newest novel is out! "Avenging the Edward A. Horton" - the historical fiction account of the captured Gloucester fishing schooner. Read about how the audacious Yankee - Captain Harvey Knowlton - traveled to Canada to retake his vessel. Maine's Journal Tribune Book Corner, stated, "Carbone is a natural story teller. His description and dialogue make the characters come alive. The reader feels they are getting to know the real people of Maine. I loved the whole book and recommend it highly.”The second book in the Moosehead Lake Mystery series, "The Elephant Mountain Gang," brings readers back to the Moosehead Lake region.Maine outdoorsman and columnist, George Smith, exclaimed, "I will say Tommy’s characters are very real. And I must warn you, have plenty of time set aside because you’re not going to want to stop reading."Tommy's creative historical fiction novel, "I am Penobscot" - is based on the life of Maine pioneer David Stone Libbey.David Stone Libbey led a life of adventure, risk-taking, and exploring; yet, many do not know his name. David was a river-driver, woodsman, Civil War soldier, and even miner out west. The story incorporates the true history of Maine's early lumbering years, the beginning of the state's Game Laws, and the chasing of poachers.David wrote for Maine papers and national outdoor magazines. He always signed his writings with his pen name, Penobscot. All his life he lived in Maine's Penobscot County. There he lumbered, farmed, hunted and explored; all the while observing and documenting about his beloved State of Maine.Tommy has also released several Maine classics on the Maine North Woods.Tommy said of these books: "The classic outdoor books by Fannie Hardy Eckstorm, Lucius Lee Hubbard and Thomas S. Steele from the 1800s and early 1900s are difficult to locate in a quality print. These books are well written documents about Maine history and the character of those from Maine. I wanted to celebrate these early explorers and writers. While the stories are from long ago, not much has changed in terms of the landscape around Moosehead Lake, so they are as interesting today as they were then. Since I spend so much time in this region, I've updated the books with new information and photos. I think you'll enjoy them."His most recent project was releasing annotated editions of stories by Fannie Hardy Eckstorm and her father, Manly Hardy. These two Mainers left a wicked good deal of history for us to learn from about wildlife, life outdoors, and the ways of the woods. The first release is, "Exploring The Maine Woods - The Hardy Family Expedition to the Machias Lakes." Tommy has said, "If you don't feel like you are in the woods during reading this memoir, then you probably already are! Eckstorm's writing is vivid and warm. It is a lost gem of a story. If you love the outdoors, nature, and exploring, you will love this book."Additional stories have been released by Tommy in, "Katahdin, Pamola & Whiskey Jack - Stories and Legends from the Maine Woods." This book is the most complete compilation of accurate north woods legends to date about Katahdin, Kineo, and the north woods of Maine. Mrs. Eckstorm was a stickler for details and getting the story and legends accurate, so you will find this volume entertaining and educational. Stories around the campfire will never be the same.Be sure to check out "Maine Woods & Lakes." This color photo hardcover writing journal is perfect for all your memories. All the photos were taken by Tommy Carbone in Maine. This book makes a wonderful gift, or to use at your camp for guest and visitor comments.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
