"Fire on the Mountain" by Bjorn Hasseler comes out of last year's gathering in Mannington, West Virginia. Mannington is the model for Grantville. It's partly inspired by an actual case we were told about and partly by recent discussions about the refugee housing in Grantville."A Knight's Tale-Therapies" by Edith Wild is the third story about Amalia and Maggie. We first met them in "A Christmas Stollen" in A 1632 Christmas. We saw them again in "Leftovers," in Grantville Gazette 100. If you've been following along, you know odd things have been occurring."Another Country Heard From" by Jack Carroll is an example of filling in the gaps. In 1637: The Coast of Chaos, a certain Dutch radio was very important. Jack asked himself how the Dutch got to that point, and this story is his answer.The Assiti ShardsIver P. Cooper brings us a story set in the Alexander Inheritance universe: "Birds of the Muses." Melissa, one of the passengers on the Queen of the Seas, is a beekeeper.Editor's NotesIssue 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 their 1638: The Sovereign States. Robert E. Waters, who co-wrote 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.
