Gilbert "Gil" Brewer (1922-1983) was an American novel and short story author.^[1] He was born November 20, 1922 in Canandaigua, New York.^{[citation needed]}

After leaving the army at the end of World War II, Brewer joined his family who had settled in St. Petersburg, Florida.^{[citation needed]} There he met Verlaine in 1947 and married her soon after. Brewer started by writing serious novels, but soon turned to pulp paperbacks after a sale to Gold Medal Books in 1950. At one point, he had five books on the stands. Unwilling to promote himself, his career took a turn for the worse after a mental breakdown, and a long decline into alcoholism.^{[citation needed]} Brewer died on January 9, 1983.^{[citation needed]}
