Biography
Kelvin Bueckert is an author, actor, and generally someone with an overactive imagination. His first major writing achievement was of writing his own name at a young age. Since then, Kelvin has learned to form three word sentences and recently was seen writing an entire paragraph in one sitting. But seriously...The burden of writing weighed upon his slim (but attractive) shoulders for many years, but it was only after his sister badgered him into auditioning for, Anne of Green Gables, that things changed. He realized that the pool of creativity was not something to be hidden, but was in fact something to revel in. In that way, Anne of Green Gables led into writing, music, and even more acting. Kelvin felt the joy of having his first short story published in 2004, since then he has continued to write, act, and think of crazy things to say in his biography. (Working title: How Anne of Green Gables Changed My Life.)
Kelvin is a diverse writer who has written drama, humor, suspense, poetry, and pretty much, whatever he feels like writing. His writings have been featured in many different and diverse places such as The Pedestal Magazine, Horizon Magazine, The Fifth Dimension, Writer Online, The Martian Wave, Lyrica Webzine of Romantic Fiction, Bewildering Stories, Alephion, Washing the Color of Water Golden, and many others.
As an actor Kelvin has been in many shows, the next one will be, In Praise of Miss Brown. The slide show on the home page has pictures of some of the characters that Kelvin has played in the past. Kelvin is always interested in playing interesting characters...if you have a show in the works, why not send him an email? kmzizzer@hotmail.com
Backstage
Kelvin has also been known to dabble in the music world under different names...In addition to some airplay, he once landed a song on Electric Youth 13 from the FOEM label. He has also won the compo10 song contest and, song of the day on garageband.com....
Kelvin also indulges in other more mundane tasks in everyday life, far too mundane to go into detail here. Sadly, those other tasks do include, farming...Yes, Kelvin feels your pity...but we move on....
Thank you for reading this madness. On a serious note, Kelvin believes and encourages you to believe that Jesus Christ is the light in a dark world. With that in mind, he encourages you to visit the Learn about Africa page to find out how you can make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate.
