Tales from the moe.Republic
 
A small town inn,
a bungling innkeeper,
unforgettable characters,
mystery, mayhem, and misadventure
in rural Maine,
make one very good book!

Pull up a barstool at the moe.Republic Hotel and laugh with the rest of us, as the lives and legends of the enchanted Lost Kingdom of Moose Harbor, Maine, spring to life.

This surprisingly imaginative and hilarious debut novel follows the trials and tribulations of the hotel's proprietor, the affable yet bungling, brother John. In letters to his brother Rob, reluctant investor and bass player for the real-life rock band moe., John weaves a series of interconnected stories filled with misadventure, haunting tales, and unforgettable characters.
 
Tales from the moe. Republic is part folktale, part comic travelogue, and a hundred percent old Yankee humor...
