About
Hi. I’m Eric Flint, a writer of science fiction and fantasy. This web page was set up for those people who might be interested in finding out more about my work than they can obtain from book covers or blurbs.
- a complete bibliography of all my writings, either solo or in collaboration with other authors, and the projects I’m editing, which right now consist of major re-issues of the writings of James H. Schmitz and Keith Laumer;
- a short personal biography
- regular updates on forthcoming books and work in progress;
- regular updates on where I’ll be making public appearances;
- various means by which you can correspond with me if you choose to do so;
- and whatever odds and ends might strike my fancy. (And, hopefully, yours.)
Thanks for dropping by, and I hope you enjoy my web site.
Note: Parts of this page are maintained by Eric’s loyal minions. Don’t assume every word is from the paw of the Bear. The misteaks are probebly ours. 
Your books are great. I have all the 1632 series.
I may be missing 2 of the gazzettes. I can not wait for the baltic
war to come out. Is their a way to buy a signed copy from you?
So many books but none signed by you. It is just not right. I need
to fix that.
Thank you kind sir,
Guy Williams

Hello Eric (or his loyal minions).
I just read “Books: The Opaque Market”. I am a walking example of the value
of Baen’s library. I am a Honor Harrington fan and a computer geek. The CD
in the back of one of the hardbacks sent me to baen.com and websubscriptions.
Baen’s free library introduced me to John Ringo via “A Hymn …” and you via 1632.
I now own several of each of your books in hardback and all of those series via
websubscriptions. Not only that but now part of my selection process for choosing
new authors, my small attempt at piercing the opacity, is I first look to Baen,
then if someone else catches my eye I look to see if they or their publisher
also supports online sales. If for no other reason than the fact that I can
carry more books in a couple of 1GB memory cards than I can carry in my 40 foot
school bus/RV. Handy if I should ever run into an Assiti shard.
I hope to meet you at Archon/NSFWC where I’ll be running a couple of D&D games.
I’ll be one of the people trying to figure out how to get some of my favorite authors
to sign digital editions.
Thank you for your work.
Michael

I have purchased 1634: The Baltic War on Thursday. I have to say, this is incredibly well written, ‘realistic’, coherent, and imaginative.
Well Done!
James
P.S. I find the notion of marrying off a 7 year old highly disturbing, even in the 17th century.
