If you've read any of my stories, I'm sure you've come across this town more than once. Buchtton is a town I made up for my story Lucia. Since then, I've expanded it to many of my other stories including "Dreamings", "Alphabet Sky", and "Sisters". There are plenty stories that I imagine occurring in Buchtton but didn't find it necessary to write it in the text. When I first got the idea for Lucia, I wanted to place it in a town, preferably in Massachusetts. Originally, the setting was Newton, but I realized I didn't know much about that town and I wanted the town to be by the sea. I remembered how Massachusetts was formerly Massachusetts Bay. I went to Google Translate and searched different translations of the word "bay". That's when I found the German word "bucht". I combined it with the "ton" of Newton and received Buchtton. I really like Buchtton. It's small but very busy. The people there are very diverse and intrigue me all the time. Every time I start a story, I always try to figure out a way to add Buchtton to it. Well, thanks for reading! See you next time!
