	Eric Flint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eric Flint (born California, USA, 1947) is an American science fiction and fantasy author and editor.
		Eric Flint is noted as the editor of the Baen Free Library.

	Guest of Honor Eric Flint Biography
		Eric Flint had been writing science fiction and fantasy stories for years, but didn't really "buckle down and start writing seriously" until 1992 at age 45.
		Eric followed that success with a variety of short stories, many of which were in collaboration with long-time writing partner Richard Roach.
		Eric's first published novel was Mother of Demons for Baen Books in 1993, and was shortly thereafter asked by Jim Baen to collaborate with David Drake on a series of alternate history/military SF novels based on the historical figure of Belisarius.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In 1999, Eric began working on 1632, his second solo novel, which was published in 2000 by Baen, and has since led to 1633, a collaboration with David Weber, published in 2002, with 1634 as a solo novel in the future.
		In 1971 Eric decided to leave academia to be a political activist, working as a truck driver, longshoreman, and finally as a machinist.
		Eric and Lucille are grandparents, and Eric has so far managed to wage a valiant and successful struggle against changing diapers.

	Review of "1633" by David Weber and Eric Flint (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In Eric Flint’s 2000 book "1632," the town of Grantville is ripped from modern-day and dropped in the middle of Germany, in the middle of the Thirty Years’ War.
		Even though "1633" is a sequel to Eric Flint’s "1632" (and incorporates a few of the short stories in the "Ring of Fire" anthology), it is really the first book in the series that Flint eventually decided to set in the "1632" universe.
		Flint’s decision to write with a number of different coauthors should keep the series from falling into a rut, making each book fresh and approached from a slightly different angle.

	Andy's Anachronisms -- 1632 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		I felt that author Eric Flint succeeded in managing to walk a thin line between holding up American society as the pinnacle western civilization and pointing out the underlying reality of modern America's darker side.
		Flint actually makes the point of explaining that the people of the time would be somewhat familiar with the technology in its various forms and albeit still very superstitious and fearful of magic, but not easily tricked into believing technology such as an automobile was the work of magic.
		A central theme of time travel literature is often the contrasting of one culture or time period with another and in the novel 1632 we see this applied to the culture as well as the technology of the two periods.

	The Mumpsimus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Flint writes in a very "accessible" style, which is to say that anyone who is a careful or highly interested reader will be annoyed -- the one-book-a-year crowd who generally fuel the bestseller lists will eat it up.
		Flint again fakes the funk: Key fumes that the soldiers aren't putting up a star-spangled banner, and then puts the high C at the end of what is the first stanza.
		Flint says in his afterword that The Rivers of War is the result of a request to write a strict alternative history where The Trail of Tears never occurred.

	Eric Flint: 1632
		Flint's characters, led by Michael Stearns, the former head of the local United Mine Workers of America chapter, demonstrate that they are as able to live in a strange time as any other science fiction characters.
		Flint uses multiple viewpoints, presenting both the displaced Americans and the indigenous Europeans in equal measure and with equal care.
		Given the characters Flint has already created, it will be interesting to see their use of market forces and social ideas in their conquest rather than force of arms.

	On Collaboration (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Eric Flint writes in his afterword to 1633: "It is one of the pieces of accepted wisdom in fiction writing that stories written in collaboration are almost invariably weaker than stories written by authors working alone.
		In the "Afterword," Flint argues that the "conventional wisdom" that says collaborations are weaker than solitary works may have its origin in the way people wrote novels until the advent of the portable word processor and the Internet.
		Flint had collaborated with more than one author and done so successfully; more importantly, he'd managed to collaborate with two authors at once, Dave Freer and Mercedes Lackey, and we knew that they had widely disparate styles -- perhaps as far apart, stylistically, as our own.

		And Flint makes it quite clear, see the scene the reviewer quoted, that American sensibilities about religion were vastly different from the people they meet in 1632.
		I will agree that as of yet, Flint has glossed over the spiritual side of issues while or just using them as a bogeyman, which in 16-18th century world certainly were major values and tenets even to those who were nominal in their faith.
		It will be interesting to see how Flint and company handle the issue of producing brass and primers for their 20th century weapons to continue working.

	Eric Flint: 1632 - an infinity plus review
		I don't know if there's an established "small American town gets whipped back in time and the just-plain-ordinary-folks have to make do with whatever they can scratch up in their back-yard while making over the whole world in their own image" genre...
		Secondly, Flint is one of the clumsier current writers in the military end of the sci-fi field.
		I have to allow Flint the capacity to write a tense finale, but after grinding through 500 entirely predictable pages, finding the last 92 are quite racy isn't adequate compensation.

	Review of "Ring of Fire" by Eric Flint et al. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		This is a part of Eric Flint's interesting approach to the whole series, which tries to make the '1632 universe' a full-bodied and realistically complex place.
		To do this Flint writes the main books of the series with a number of different coauthors (David Weber, Andrew Dennis, Mike Spehar, Virginia DeMarce), while at the same time allowing all of the authors who contributed to "Ring of Fire" to make their own mark on the developing series.
		Flint has even begun publishing fan fiction in an online magazine (the "Grantville Gazette") and incorporating it into 163x novels.
