I'm Graham Buckby. I was born and raised in Leicester (England), went to university at York, got a history degree, and spent 34 years teaching history, mostly in the same comprehensive school on the east coast of Lincolnshire. I quit teaching when the mounting tide of government inspired, management enforced, documentation finally swamped my pleasure in actually teaching kids. I first met Alan Denham - my co-author - while doing my postgraduate teaching certificate. He had the room next to mine and regularly woke me by pounding on my door when my alarm clock had woken him... but not me! He introduced me to the local S.F. group. I started writing in the '80s (when usable home computers were invented). Alan joined in. Between us we developed our 'Nuome' world scene... but then work got in the way for a while... like 20 years! What am I like? Alan reckons I'm eccentric... but so's he! I've been married - twice. I've got one wonderful daughter, still at university - studying Professional Writing! I like real ale, real dogs and motorbikes... oh, and writing.view less
