The Author
Deb Hamel writes about the outdoors, nature, wildlife and hunting in The Great North Woods of New Hampshire in her '‘Daddy’s Hunting Series”. **EXCITING NEWS: Two additional books will be added to this Series in Summer of 2023, “DEBBER FINDS AN ANTLER” & “THE DAY WE SAW THE MOOSE”.
“Daddy’s Fishing Series” currently contains three books, two are based on fishing on The Nature Coast of Florida on the Homosassa & Chassahowitzka Rivers & Crystal River & Kings Bay. The third book in this Series is about a family trip to Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park.
Hamel introduces her brand new third Series, “Daddy’s Farm Series” which will debut in the Summer of 2024. This Series is about grain farming in the Midwest — specifically southern Illinois. The first book, DEBBER VISITS AN ILLINOIS GRAIN FARM is about Debber visiting and learning about a fifth-generation grain farm. Based on an actual family and an actual visit. The second book in this Series debut is entitled, DEBBER LEARNS ABOUT TRACTORS & FARM MACHINERY, with a wealth of vivid illustrations depicting combines, tractors, and implements involved in grain farming. Perhaps one of the most in-depth books of Hamel wherein she describes the tractors and farm machinery all children love to see — but here, they learn what they are about.
Each of her books is educational, entertaining, and written with love.
Due to two previous strokes, Deb has a new way of looking at the world and has learned to enjoy each moment.
All of Deb Hamel’s books are based on the real-life adventures of Deb and her Husband Doug over the years!
