Crystal Rain in Japan
October 8th 2009 at 7:03 am
My Japanese translator, Hiroshi Kaneko, was nice enough to pass along some more information about the Japanese version of Crystal Rain along with the note that it will be available in Japan starting tomorrow. Now, to back things up a little. When Jay Lake’s Escapement came out, I ‘oohed’ and ‘aahed’ at the striking cover [...]

August 26th 2009 at 11:01 am
An interview with me about my connections to the ocean is up at The Reef Tank: What do you think the world needs to know about the sea and about marine life that maybe you can tell them since you grew up surrounded by it. TB: I sailed from Tortola to New York via Bermuda [...]

Some Tides reviews
June 25th 2009 at 1:31 am
The short story collection has still been racking up some positive reviews from people online: John Ottinger at Grasping for the Wind: Buckell has a clipped style of writing, a way of packing in a lot of story into what is not written, and so his stories, while often quite short, manage to have significant [...]
NovyMirror interview
June 8th 2009 at 4:59 pm
Rick Novy interviewed me for his online video cast. Not sure if I stuck my foot in my mouth trying to explain why I think 4 posts about race in my blog over 2,000 from 1998-2009 that talk about lots of other things don’t make me a ‘race blogger.’ Mostly I was trying to explain [...]
A three year freelanceiversary
May 9th 2009 at 2:54 am
Today I will be celebrating being my own boss for 3 years, and am heading into my 4th year of making a living doing all sorts of creative, odd, different things. It’s nice to stop and reflect on the fact, and extremely fulfilling. In early 2006, just two days before the launch of my very [...]

Ofblog offers praise for Tides
April 27th 2009 at 2:15 pm
My first somewhat official review of Tides From the New Worlds comes from Ofblog who writes: Buckell’s strengths as a novelist are even more suited to the short story form, as he quickly develops his characters and setting and the plot moves at an even brisker pace in this format. Uniformly strong stories help quite [...]
