From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tobias S. Buckell (born 1979) is a science fiction author who was born in Grenada in the Caribbean. He currently lives in Bluffton, Ohio.
Buckell attended Clarion East in 1999. Not long after that he made his first sale, "Fish Merchant", to Scott Edelman at Science Fiction Age. The story appeared in the March, 2000 issue. About the time of the sale, his story "In Orbite Medievali" won a quarterly contest for the Writers of the Future. Since then his stories have appeared in a variety of places, including the magazines Analog and Nature, and the anthologies New Voices in Science Fiction, Men Writing Science Fiction As Women, and So Long Been Dreaming.
His first novel, Crystal Rain, was published in February 2006 by Tor Books. His second novel, Ragamuffin was published in 2007, and was nominated for the illustrious Nebula award for that year.
He is presently working on his third novel, Sly Mongoose. His first short story collection, Tides from the New Worlds, will be published by Wyrm Publishing in early 2008.
Tobias made a non-physical appearance on the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire game show as a "Phone-A-Friend" for his friend Heidi Ruby Miller.
