Got home, haven’t unpacked, but sorted through mail to see if anything needed urgent attention (bills bills bills). The re-landscaping is incredible. The back yard has doubled in size, the property looks well taken care of.
Still, I’m so tired from editing every spare minute while juggling these other things I agreed to do. I should [...]
Checking In

I’m still alive! Heh, I’m about 60% of the way through the novel, not quite as far along as I’d hoped, but I’m incredibly pleased with the rewriting I’ve done. I think this book is going to be a lot of fun.
Realized after getting an email from a worried reader I should clarify something. The [...]

At Alpha

Oh yeah, I’m scruffy now. I gather that is what happens to authors on deadlines, shaving seems like a luxury and I know I need a haircut. Yano…

Al Bogdan came to the reading and snapped a few pics of Nancy Kress and me talking about writing and sums up the experience here at his brand new livejournal.
Al talks about how Nancy and I explained how we are two very different kinds of writers. She seeks character first, and I find ideas first. [...]
I’m a children’s lit author!
July 17th 2006 at 6:57 pm
The very cool Children’s Lit online is a review site aimed at middle school librarians, and they reviewed Crystal Rain, here’s their opinion:
Buckell has done an excellent job with his first Sci-Fi novel. This story is complex, fresh, and interesting-and wide open to a sequel. 2006, Tor Books, Ages 14 to 18
I’ve noticed Crystal Rain [...]
