Eric Flint's 1632 & Beyond: Alternate History Stories

Hello world!

If you’ve ever built a WordPress site, you’ll have seen that new sites are set up so the first post is “Hello world!” Sitting here, about to delete this post, I decided what the heck – I’ll go with it!

Welcome to Eric Flint’s 1632 & Beyond. This is our first post. Read it or skip it, then start reading!

All joking aside, we are very proud to be sharing this all new venture. We announced the existence of a new short-story venue for Eric Flint’s 1632 Universe, the magazine “Eric Flint’s 1632 & Beyond”, at LibertyCon on June 23, 2023. The first issue will be published on 1 August, 2023, with new issues every two months after that. So, look for new issues on the 1st of every odd numbered month!

    1. I am Theodore Kilgore, a long time subscriber to the Grantville Gazette who for several years had an annual subscription. I used to be a mathematician at Auburn University in Alabama. The following account will demonstrate that there is never a good time to retire.

      I retired from my professorial position at the end of September 2022 and moved away permanently to Budapest, Hungary. Shortly, my subscription to the Grantville Gazette ran out after several months they quit coming. Then when I went to renew my subscription the website was not there.

      All of this was sad news and quite unexpected. In retrospect, I should have been paying more attention. I have always appreciated the historic perspective which Eric Flint brought to his niche of literature and the meticulous care which went into the construction of the plots and the characters of many of the authors who have collaborated in what is now a multi-year project. Hats off to all who have collaborated on the 1632 series from the beginning. The detail and historical accuracy and the perspective which can be found in these stories is amazing. Too many professional historians come off badly in comparison. And, as for me, I know enough of the subject that I think only I should be trusted as a critic. I am a mathematician, as I said, and we tend to have universal tastes

      I never met Eric in person, but I am sure that I would have enjoyed the experience.

      I end by saying that I do not follow the SCIFI scene. Or at least I have not. Always too busy with professional stuff. But now that I am retired it would be nice to meet people if there is a conference in Germany or in Eastern Europe.
