Broos Campbell spent most of adult life in San Francisco, San Jose, and Santa Cruz, Calif., and currently lives in a small seaside city in Southern California. He has written or edited more than a dozen books, primarily age of sail and horror novels.
A member of the Editorial Freelancers Association, he makes his primary living as an editor—and, yes, he is for hire.
Much as he loves the ocean and all things in it, he'd rather be on the water than in it.
