How to Catch a Keeper

Stephanie Mulligan’s first children’s book Illustrates her wonderful lobster excursions aboard the Lucky Catch, a lobster fishing tour boat. Stephanie worked on the boat with Captain Tom Martin for eight summers. She captured the experience so she could remember it forever – and share it with us.

Growing up in Otisfield, a lovely town in Maine, and working for Captain Tom introduced Stephanie to people from all over the world who were interested in lobstering. Her work was the perfect summer job with the best of both worlds—education and the Maine outdoors. Each time she stepped on the boat, a new adventure awaited her!

Stephanie graduated from the University of Maine with a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and a concentration in English. For four years, she was an ELA teacher for seventh and eighth grade and assisted in a third grade class.
