I have a confession to make.

My name is not Albert Packard.

That's right. I know it seems like it would have been fated: that someone born with a name like "Al Packard" should one day grow up to write the Definitive Alpaca Fantasy Novel (DAFN). Would that it were true. But it isn't. A man named Bryce Moore wrote Cavern of Babel--I mean I wrote it, and my name is Bryce Moore. But I thought that the DAFN written by Bryce Moore just didn't have the same ring to it, so I put on my creative thinking cap and came up with Albert Packard. I think it fits the whimsical tone of the book better. However, if that shatters any dreams you may have had about one day meeting the Al Packard, have no fear. I hereby give you permission to call me Al.

Now, if you'd like to know more about me, more about Cavern of Babel and the process I went through to write it, or if you'd like to drop me a line or make suggestions or whatever crazy thing pops into your head, I'd like to encourage you to come over to my website: (www.brycemoore.com).

To make things easier for you Babelphiles, here are some direct links to Buttersby-related news I'm posting on my site:

Chapter Commentaries (A chapter by chapter discussion of the book and how I wrote it. Only a few up right now, but there will be more coming at least every week!)
