On July 17, 2022, our beloved friend and Superstars co-founder Eric Flint passed away.
Eric Flint’s writing career began with the novel Mother of Demons, published in 1997. With David Drake, he collaborated on the six novels in the Belisarius series (An Oblique Approach, In the Heart of Darkness, Destiny’s Shield, Fortune’s Stroke, The Tide of Victory and The Dance of Time), as well as a novel entitled The Tyrant. His alternate history novel 1632 was published in 2000, followed by many sequels, several of which made the New York Times bestseller list. In addition to the twenty-three novels he wrote in the 1632 series, he edited twelve anthologies of short fiction set in that universe.
He was the founder and publisher of Ring of Fire Press, which published over fifty books, as well as the electronic magazine The Grantville Gazette. The Gazette, which produced about ninety issues, focused mostly on the 1632 series but also published general science fiction and fantasy stories.
