The Bradbury Chronicles is, at once, a poignant love story, an inspiring tale of struggle and accomplishment, and a spellbinding record of an extraordinary era in America's history and the man who helped define it. As a result, Weller gives us a uniquely balanced, in-depth, and utterly remarkable portrait of a remarkable man, the life story up until now of a brilliant visionary artist and enigmatic mass of contradictions - the writer who envisioned rocket travel to the stars but who never learned to drive a car the futurist who brought astonishing tomorrows to life yet refuses to operate a computer the passionate free spirit who remained devotedly married to one woman - his beloved Marguerite - for more than fifty years. Award-winning journalist Sam Weller has been granted unparalleled access to Bradbury's private archives, and has spent hundreds of hours interviewing longtime friends, family members, colleagues, and the author himself. It was not long before he ascended to a higher literary plane, creating the acclaimed works that would solidify his place as one of the most important and influential authors of the twentieth century: Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, and Dandelion Wine, to name a very few. Though he once dreamed of becoming an actor, writing was his true calling, and he remained resolute in his art throughout his early adult years despite numerous rejections - finally breaking through with publications of his horror and fantasy stories in the 'pulp' magazines of the forties.

There is also a short story collection titled Gleanings: Stories from the Arc of a Scythe. The main trilogy consists of Scythe, Thunderhead - Arc of a Scythe Wiki - Fandom, and The Toll.
