Tobias Buckell’s got class.
Not only did he have this interview back safely in my hands only hours after sending him the questions, but he was also kind enough to send copies of his first two novels, Crystal Rain and Ragamuffin, in a nice padded envelope with a handwritten note thanking me for taking a look at his novels.
Buckell has a great personal web site where he runs a wicked blog (that is updated much more often than A Dribble of Ink, I must grudgingly admit…), and has a whole bunch of cool content. The best of which includes the entire first third of Crystal Rain and Ragamuffin (found HERE and HERE, respectively). He’s been a pleasure to work with (and his novel is pretty darn good, too!), so I hope you have as much fun reading the interview as I had conducting it!
Enjoy.
