Ed Robinson’s non-fiction books grew out of the same life experience that fuels his Trawler Trash novels. Leap of Faith: Quit Your Job and Live on a Boat (2013) was his first published work, a practical and personal account of how he left his career behind to live aboard a boat full-time. The book covers the real logistics of the transition: boat selection, budgeting, maintenance, and the psychological adjustment of giving up a fixed address.
Poop, Booze, and Bikinis (2014) takes a more humorous angle on the same lifestyle, while The Untold Story of Kim (2014) is a more personal narrative. Together, these three books provide the real-world foundation for the fictional adventures in the Trawler Trash series. Readers who enjoy the Breeze novels often turn to the non-fiction to see how much of the fiction is drawn from Robinson’s actual life on the water.
