Her blog, "Letters from Zimbabwe", includes print, photos, personal entries, and broadcast media outlets. She writes stories about wildlife, conservation, flora and fauna of her country.

Writings

Buckle has written four children's books, one of which, “The Animals of the Shashani.” was in 2018 selected by ZIMSEC as a set book for Form 1 and 2 English Literature students in Zimbabwean schools.

One of her memoirs, African Tears, chronicles the personal story of the government-approved invasion of her farm, which was bought after Zimbabwean independence. African Tears was serialized in The Sunday Times, Femina magazine and, Rapport newspaper.

In the book, Innocent Victims – Rescuing the stranded animals of Zimbabwe's farm invasions, Buckle informs readers of the Zimbabwe Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals's rescues of animals during the farm invasions.
