His first book, Alaska Blues, based on on those years, was hailed as ''One of those books you want to proclaim a classic'' by theSeattle Post-Intelligencer. Upton has a new book coming from Epicenter Press for Spring 2011:Bering Sea Blues,a memoir of crab fishing in the Bering Sea. Upton lives with his wife, Mary Lou, on an island in Puget Sound.
