It's great to be back! After a one-year hiatus, Eric Flint's 1632 Universe has a new short-fiction venue (aka magazine). In this world, the small West Virginia town of Grantville is thrown back in time to 1631, landing in war-torn Thuringia, Germany. The town scrambles to ensure that it survives and thrives, and helps others do the same in this fantastic new world, as it forms alliances, spreads unfamiliar technology and ideas far and wide, and faces down powerful enemies. Will their efforts be enough to make the world a better place? Join us in the 1632verse and find out!We are delighted to share the return of long-term contributors (Iver Cooper, Virginia DeMarce, Garrett W. Vance), relative new-comers (George Grant, Chuck Thompson), and even an old friend from the early days (S. M. Stirling). Our cover story by Jody Lynn Nye is from the upcoming Baen novel she and Eric Flint collaborated on. Every issue of "Eric Flint's 1632 & Beyond" will include 1632 stories and related non-fiction.

Eric Flint's 1632 & Beyond Issue #1 - Eric Flint's 1632 & Beyond, #1

1632verse:  "Fire on the Mountain" by Bjorn Hasseler came from a 2023 gathering in Mannington, WV, the model for Grantville. A real case combined with discussions about 1632 refugee housing led to this story. "A Knight's Tale-Therapies" by Edith Wild is the third story about Amalia and Maggie, first met in "A Christmas Stollen" (A 1632 Christmas) and again in "Leftovers, " in Grantville Gazette 100. Odd things have been occurring. "Another Country Heard From" by Jack Carroll fills in some gaps. In 1637: The Coast of Chaos, a certain Dutch radio was very important. Jack asked how the Dutch got to that point, and this story is his answer. Assiti Shards: Iver P. Cooper brings us an Alexander Inheritance story: "Birds of the Muses" in which Melissa, a Queen of the Seas passenger, uses her beekeeping skills. Editor's Notes: Issue 1 began with a story by Jody Lynn Nye, taken from an upcoming 1632 novel set in England. Issue 2 has a story by Gorg Huff and Paula Goodlett tying in with 1638: The Sovereign States. Robert E. Waters, coauthor of 1637: The Transylvanian Decision, had the first story in Issue 3. My co-editors informed me I was on deck for this issue, since my books formerly with Ring of Fire Press are in the process of being republished by Baen Books. I think we will keep to this pattern for a while.
