A professional blogger and SF/F author originally born in Grenada, Tobias currently lives in Ohio with his wife, Emily.

A reader - Tobias began reading at a young age. Throughout school he read novels in class to stave off boredom, and when those were confiscated, wrote stories.

A writer - Tobias had started submitting and writing multiple short stories while in high school. He attended the Clarion Science Fiction and Fantasy workshop in 1999. He sold his first story shortly afterwards, and has since gone on to sell over 30 more. He has written and sold two novels (Crystal Rain and Ragamuffin).

A blogger - Having blogged since 1998 at TobiasBuckell.com (and earlier incarnations), it’s no surprise that Tobias recently moved to blogging for Weblogs Inc, as well as consulting for companies interested in the new medium.

An islander - Although living in landlocked Ohio, Tobias grew up in Grenada, as well as in the British and US Virgin Islands. Most of his family lived or makes a living off of yachts, and until the hurricane season of 1995, Tobias was no exception. Hurricane Marilyn destroyed the boat his family lived aboard, and Tobias moved to Ohio just before starting college. His ties to the sea and islands are still strong enough to show up frequently in his published fiction.
