A
prodigious reader of fiction, Gary
Buckingham always held an abiding interest in history and political
geography, realizing early on that these fields had minimal prospects. Attaining four
technical degrees, his career
was that of electrical engineer.
Working
for seven federal agencies amid 16 distinct assignments, Gary decided
to follow-up
his voluminous reading and extensive travel by writing some Tarzan
tales.
His
parents, Lynn and Allen, purchased the new Whitman edition of The Return of Tarzan in 1967, starting
his life-long attentiveness to all the narratives written by the Master of
Adventure, Edgar Rice Burroughs.
Joining
an Edgar Rice Burroughs fan organization in 1976, he finally attended
his first
Burroughs convention in 2010, hosting three in 2020, 2021 and 2023.
First
copyediting for author Will Murray in 2015, Gary has now edited 40
novels and
two art chronology compilations (Edgar Rice Burroughs and Robert E.
Howard).
Among these have been 15 manuscripts about
Burroughs’
characters by new authors.
Writing
his own adventures of Burroughs’ jungle lord starting in 2013, the
third
published chronicles took place in his home state of Wisconsin. A new,
fourth
collection of his authorized stories will be published in 2025, the
mostly-completed fifth in 2026.

up in small-town Mississippi, Tracy discovered the works of Edgar Rice
Burroughs at age nine and was swept away by the author’s captivating

that cache during the
