1. I love your 1632 series and am looking for them on mp3/ipod format. I found it once and lost a site that had some of your works for download. Can you tell me where I might find this? I appreciate the stories you’ve done without collaberating most. I found the David Weber books much more technical and your books more socially and historically oriented. As a woman, guess I’m more interested in the political, social and historical aspects of your stories and less in the aspects of building a navy, air force, etc.

   Thank you for starting this series and keeping it going!

2. I love your The Assiti Shards series. And I would like to introduse the series to my countrymen in Belarus. I wrote to you several times asking for a permission for translation 1632 to Belarusian language. However I did not get any reply. I hope to get any kind of response, hopefully positive one because I have translated good chank of the book.

3. I really like your 1632, 1633, 1635, etc books. I have always been a fan of alternate history and as a West Virginia resident (near Morgantown) I fine these books totally engrossing. One question (among many) — When are the rest scheduled? I normally buy at Amazon.com as soon as they are announced, that way they are shipped immediately.

5. Eric:
   Are you going to write more about “Mother of Demons?” I hope so.

   Thanks,
   Paul

6. One of the problems with finding your Assiti Shards books to reread in the library is that some are classified under science fiction, others under fantasy, and others in regular fiction. Is there anyway that you could put the appropriate thing on title pages of future books to have them all in the same section?

7. Just wanted to join the throng that can’t say enough about the Belisarius Series. Historical fiction with a serious twist was refreshing and very interesting. I love messing with time! I thought that you (and Dave) were extremely true to the characters that you created and did a masterful job connecting all the works together. Another thing that I really appreciated was that you didn’t paint a rosy picture where everyone lived and life was GREAT at the end, but you also were not afraid to give the reader the happy ending that they needed after getting to know the characters so well. I must credit Baen’s online free library getting me started on the series and also for helping me purchase the last 3. I read most of the books in 3 days. Excellent job!!!!

8. Is there any chance you (&Freer &Lackey) will ever do further “Karres” novels? Great work, I look forward to Goth getting older and Pausert dealing with it.

   Comment by Greg Goode — January 18, 2007 @ 8:16 pm

9. I loved “The Course of Empire. Will you be writing a sequel? I hope so, if ever a book cried out for a sequel, it’s the one.

   Thank you.

10. In answer to Comment 8, Dave Freer and I will be writing a sequel to THE WIZARD OF KARRES. Mercedes Lackey won’t be a co-author on this one. (That’s not due to any problems, it’s simply that Misty was tied up with too many other projects.)

    The title of the sequel is THE SORCERESS OF KARRES. We haven’t started working on it yet, so it won’t be coming out until late in 2008 or sometime in 2009.

11. In answer to comment 9, Kathy Wentworth and I are working on a sequel to THE COURSE OF EMPIRE. Kathy’s doing the first draft right now. I can’t give you any publication date yet, though.

    We don’t have a final title for the book. The working title is my somewhat whimsical NGC 7293, but that probably won’t wind up being the final title. (It’s the official astronomical designation for the planetary nebula in which much of the novel takes place.)

12. In answer to comment 6, I’m afraid I have no control over the way librarians decide to file my books. Nor do I see any way to solve the problem, beyond putting a big notice on the cover that says “This is science fiction” — which my publisher would refuse to do.

    Sorry.

13. As you’ve probably guessed, I’m catching up on these comments at one fell swoop. So…

    To go back to the first comment, you can find my free titles in the Baen Free Library at the following URL:

    http://www.baen.com/library/

    Those of many other authors are in the Library also. Just click on “authors” in the yellow menu on the left and you can go from there.

14. In answer to comment 5, I have no current plans to write a sequel to MOTHER OF DEMONS. That doesn’t preclude doing so, it’s simply that I have enough other work at the moment (to put it mildly) to keep me busy.

15. I am now reading “The Dance Of Time”, I LOVE these books. This series is the first of your books that I have read, I will definitely be checking out the rest. Keep up the good work and thank you.

16. Will you be writing any more stories or novels in the Crown of Slaves series? These characters are too good to stop now.

    Thanks.

    Comment by John Rain — June 24, 2007 @ 12:16 pm

17. Eric, i was wondering if you and your cohorts were considering completing a sequel for “The Wizard of Karres”? I really enjoyed the way you extended the original story and would appreciate another installment.

    Yours aye,

    James

    Comment by James Harland — September 21, 2007 @ 10:46 pm

18. Sir I just wanted to say thank you for the many hours of pleasure that your books have given me.

    Comment by Terrance — October 20, 2007 @ 11:15 pm

19. Wow, I just finished 1632, both 1633’s, 1634GA, and The Course of the Empire in two weeks. I just couldn’t get enough. Thanks for writing those! They make me buckle down on my own work that much harder!

    Comment by Jason — October 25, 2007 @ 4:27 pm

20. Just read 1632,33,34GA and 34BW +ring of fire
    the free web books are a great idea since i ended up buying 34ga, and ring of fire print and 34BW in web version. Great read thanks for writing them

21. Hello!

    Just wondering if you, Dave and Misty will be doing more ‘Heirs of Alexandria’ books. I wanna see Manfred grow up!

    Comment by Dawn — December 16, 2007 @ 5:58 am

22. Mr. Flint,
    I have to agmit to being quite a fan of yours. Others too, however. I am an avid reader of many types of book. I became quite an e-book fan because of the convenience of carrying many books on the road that way - I used to be a truck driver. However I am disappointed to say that I will now not buy many e-books. Most of them that I will not buy are fortunately not on Baen. However, many e-books are now selling at or near hardcover prices, and I consider that to be not only ridicoulous but a ripoff. Since you appear to have at least a large presence at Baen, please try to keep them from getting that way. Thank you.

    Comment by Robert Hunger — April 5, 2008 @ 11:57 pm

23. Might be wrong, but Ring of Fire II came out in January 2008, not 2009. At least if it did come out in 2009, I must have found a time machine, because I already have a copy of it.

    Comment by Mark L — November 10, 2008 @ 5:00 pm

24. Never mind. I have the hardback ROF II (which does not appear to be listed as of Nov 10) not the paperback which is coming out in Jan 09.

    Comment by Mark L — November 10, 2008 @ 5:01 pm

25. I really enjoy the Ring od Fire series, but just abslutely loved the hell out of “Rivers of Wars.” Any thoughts on when more books in the Rivers of War series would come out?

    Comment by John Jones — November 15, 2008 @ 1:53 am

26. Did I dream or… no announcment about Crown of Slaves 2 ? ><

    Eric’s working on that at the moment, so if we’re lucky we’ll see it in October, since Baen have scheduled their releases unusually far in advance, to September, and CoS II is his top priority. For more info on that go the the bar at Baen.com, and see the thread Horrors in Mutter of Demons.

    Comment by Jess — November 29, 2008 @ 7:56 am

28. Dear Mr. Flint. I absolutly Love your 1632 series, and cannot wait for more, but I would like to know the answer to several questions if it would not be too much trouble. One: When is your Alternative history about Washington’s Army going to come out, and will the British win because his men are not there? And Two: Is it giving away the story to ask if the former Ostenders and that SHIT Bernard are going to be smashed into the ground. Because I would really like to know. And as regard’s The Course of Empire, why did you make the Jao partly crazy?

    Comment by arthur piantadosi — November 30, 2008 @ 2:43 am

29. The George Washington alternate history novel has been canceled. Sorry.
    As to Bernard and co, you'll have to wait and see.
    As to the Jao, you would be better off asking Ms. Wentworth, she designed them.

30. Uh, RoW 3 is after Crown of Slaves 2, which is probably after the next solo Eric Flint Ring of Fire novel, which is after …

    Uh, Eric's back-logged a couple of years. Sorry. But that's reality for a busy, successful author with more-than-one series running. RoW kind of fell to the side when DelRey didn't pick up book 3….

    Comment by rboatright — December 19, 2008 @ 3:34 am

31. yes

    Comment by rboatright — December 19, 2008 @ 3:35 am

32. nope, that entry is for the MASS MARKET PAPERBACK. — the hard cover came out a year ago.

    and ROF III is not that far away. but I try to list paper and hc separately in this page.

33. "For a Jao to bend is Human" I wait with great patience for completion of the work.

    Comment by Bruce Gordon — January 6, 2009 @ 2:59 am

34. Eric is in possession of Kathy's final draft

    Comment by rboatright — January 6, 2009 @ 3:14 am

35. What happened to "The Sorceress of Karres"? I still love "Witches" and enjoyed the sequel as well.

    Comment by B Davis — January 7, 2009 @ 3:41 am

36. I have to agree… would love to see a sequel to Mother of Demons.. just my 2 cents

    Comment by Julie — March 11, 2009 @ 1:10 am

37. Mr. Flint

    is there any chance your books would be available in audio format? This format is currently the only one I can “read”, as the only time I can spend on reading is while driving to work (thus reading paper books may be dangerous to me and other drivers :). I was able to read paper versions of the first two of 1632 series, but now I can only listen. I am finishing David Weber series on audio and it rocks. Would be great if was able to do the same with your books. Going further, if you recorded reading your books yourself, I am sure your fans would be eager to spend fortune to listen to it. Don’t you think?

38. Dear Mr Flint
    thankyou for the many hours of enjoyment you’ve given me reading the ring of fire and the rivers of war series. I hope you like and write another 50 happy healthy years

39. I have read over half of Eric’s works in Free Speculative Fiction Online, including much of the Belisaurius saga and Grantville’s progress, but it’s the “Changer of Worlds” series that I’ve really fallen in love. But there seem to be some gaping holes in the stories that are there and I’m wondering if there is more of it somewhere? Somewhat unusually for me (being on a limited income) I’d even be willing to pay for more! Can anyone point me in the right direction?

40. Hi, all. I love your 16xx series. I am eagerly awaiting the next book. Will there be another Ring of Fire? Sue from Albany, NY

    Comment by Susan Longtin — November 14, 2009 @ 1:00 pm

41. Eric,

    A bit confused on the order that I should be reading the 1632 (Ring of Fire) series………… I just started 1633, so…………………….

    Can you help me out? Whenever a new book is released in a series (no matter the author), I ALWAYS start over from the beginning. Always something new to pick up on. Been working overtime too much these days, and I’m trying to get a jump on the sequence. Can’t put it down.

    Much thanks,

    B

42. Hi. Love your stuff. Eagerly awaiting your next 163- novel. Thanks. Sue

    Comment by Sue — December 29, 2009 @ 6:02 pm

43. I really enjoy all of the Karres books and just finished “Sorceress of Karres.” Is the series going to continue? Also enjoy your work with David Weber.
