Cam Seamus is an American author who grew up in the beachside town of Dana Point, California. He spent most of his youth in, on, and around the water. By age 12 he was looking for odd jobs on sailboats; he'd polish them - rubbing out oxidation by hand and working as a "mast monkey" and being hoisted up the mast to do small repairs.

"I've always loved boats - I feel at home around them," said Seamus. 

Cam often wonders if that love was passed down from the generations of fishermen that he descended from in Ireland.

Cam said, "Throughout my life, I felt as if there was a story inside of me that wanted to come out. But I didn't understand it because I hadn't yet lived long enough, seen enough, or suffered enough. I was fifty-five when I hung up my corporate hat for a few years to work on the water. After two years of finally figuring myself out, I wanted to write, and write, and write. That journey is chronicled in my memoir, Two Years Behind the Helm. I also feel that I wasn't honest enough with myself until I finished that journey. I think that self-honesty comes through in fiction - it's the authenticity that brings the characters to life. That's just one guy's point of view..."

Cam has published three books: Two Years Behind the Helm - his memoir of self-discovery, and his fictional series about Jack Kelly titled The Captain- Point Loma and The Captain - Colombian Waters. He is currently working on the third book in the series which is planned for five books.
