About the author
Tom Carney is an outdoor writer, editor, and photographer whose career has stretched across more than 40 years. The Upland Almanac describes him as its editor and notes that he has won more than 100 awards for his journalism, books, and photography. The magazine also says he lives near Grand Rapids, Michigan, with his wife, Maureen, and their English setter, Jack.
He is especially associated with upland hunting and nature writing. His book Among the Aspens: Stolen Moments in Secret Coverts gathers pieces from fifteen years of his award-winning "Tailfeathers" column, reworked into a collection centered on bird hunting, dogs, and time outdoors. Earlier in his career, he also published the novel Daylight Moon.
Taken together, his work suggests a writer drawn to both storytelling and close observation. Whether he is writing essays or longer-form books, the focus stays on landscape, memory, and the pleasures of an outdoor life well noticed.
