About the Author

Traveling northwest waters as a commercial fisherman since 1965 in small craft and large, Joe upton gained intimate knowledge of the coast from Puget Sound almost to the Arctic Circle.

In the 1970s Upton lived and fished out of a tiny island community in the roadless wilderness of Southeast Alaska. His first book, Alaska Blues, based on on those years, was hailed as ''One of those books you want to proclaim a classic'' by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Upton has a new book coming from Epicenter Press for Spring 2011: Bering Sea Blues,a memoir of crab fishing in the Bering Sea. Upton lives with his wife, Mary Lou, on an island in Puget Sound.
