In Memoriam
Eric Flint passed away on July 17, 2022. He wrote 1632 as a stand-alone novel, and then continued the story and opened the new timeline to anyone who wanted to try to write a story. He didn’t have an endpoint in mind; it’s all story-driven.
He didn’t just let us write in the Ring of Fire universe; he let us co-write it. Each story contributes to the whole, characters interact with other authors’ plotlines, and sometimes they make their way into books, even mainline books. That’s an incredibly generous gift Eric gave all of us.
