About Graham Salisbury
Graham Salisbury
comes from a hundred-year line of newspapermen, all associated with Hawaii’s
morning paper, the Honolulu Advertiser (now the Honolulu Star Advertiser).
Although a career as a newsman could have been possible, Salisbury chose to
imagine rather than report. His books, including Blue Skin of the Sea, Under the Blood-Red Sun, House of the Red Fish,
Eyes of the Emperor, Shark Bait, Jungle Dogs, Lord of the Deep, Island Boyz,
Night of the Howling Dogs, and the popular Calvin Coconut series have been
celebrated widely with praise and distinguished awards. Graham grew up on the
islands of Oahu and Hawaii. Later, he graduated from California State
University, Northridge, and received an MFA degree from Vermont College of Fine
Arts. He once surfed with a shark, got
stung by a Portuguese man-of-war (several times!), and swam for his life from a
moray eel. Believe it or not, he didn’t wear shoes until the sixth grade and
didn’t see snow until he was nineteen. He now lives with his family in
Portland, Oregon.
