Ed Robinson writes about life on the water because he lives it. He gave up a conventional career to live aboard a boat on Florida’s Gulf Coast, and his fiction draws directly from that experience. His non-fiction debut, Leap of Faith: Quit Your Job and Live on a Boat (2013), laid out the practical and personal realities of the liveaboard lifestyle, and his novels have been telling stories set in that world ever since.
The Trawler Trash series, which began with Confessions of a Boat Bum (2014), is his main body of work. It follows a character named Breeze who lives on his trawler and stumbles into adventures along the Florida coast. The series proved popular enough to generate two spinoffs: Bluewater Breeze, which takes the character into deeper offshore waters, and Mountain Breeze, which moves him inland to the Appalachian mountains. Robinson’s writing has a casual, first-person voice that reflects the laid-back boating culture he depicts, and his readers tend to be boaters themselves or people who dream about ditching the nine-to-five for life on the water.
