The State Library Papers (1632 non-fiction)

Beekeeping, Part I Iver Cooper

From her first appearance in Grantville Gazette 4, no one viewed Velma Hardesty as a delicate flower, with one exception. Virginia DeMarce’s “A Rose By Any Other Song” ends Velma’s tale from the point of view of that person

Natalie Silk’s tale tells how Rahel’s life goes “Down This Path” to a childbirth that takes her life in an unanticipated direction..

In other news, George Grant’s “Mail From Up-Time” sees the consequence of some set-aside and forgotten mail being delivered in Grantville. George then gives us our first flash fiction in “The Small Crisis.”

Sometimes, in this vast universe, we miss steps in explaining how things develop. Marc Tyrrell fills in some gaps on early military intelligence in “Making Hay While the Sun Shines.”

Every now and then, all the early readers instantly love a story. Bob Finegold’s “Among the Faithful” is one of those rare gems. Freedom of religion and tolerance were seismic changes. This is the story of one town struggling to adapt after Krystalnacht.

In nonfiction, Iver P. Cooper explains beekeeping and its possibilities in the 1632 universe.
