Linda Greenlaw fished commercially before writing about it, and was the first woman to captain a swordfishing boat on the American East Coast. The Perfect Storm, the 1997 book and the film made from it, featured Greenlaw. Her own account of the work fills The Hungry Ocean (1999), which held a place on the New York Times bestseller list for three months, along with The Lobster Chronicles (2002) and All Fishermen Are Liars. The Jane Bunker mysteries are her fiction, with insurance investigators among their subject headings, and two cookbooks sit beside them. Eleven titles are catalogued, published between 1999 and 2018. Greenlaw lives on Isle au Haut, Maine.
