About The Author
Diamond Comic Distributors, Inc.
Kerryn Offord stumbled on to the 1632 universe in the beginning of 2003 when his father asked him to look up when 1633 would be released in paperback. He discovered Baen’s Bar, and has been active in the 1632 conferences ever since. He has had over fifty stories published in the Grantville Gazette, and has plans for many more. Although Dr. Gribbleflotz is Rick Boatright’s creation, Kerryn lays claim to creating Dr. Phil.
Rick Boatright is exactly the same age as Bill Gates and like Bill has been a software developer since the early 1970s, but in Rick’s case a developer for not-for-profit social service agencies. He’s been a moderator of online forums as long as online forums have existed. Since 2001 he’s been a writer and editor, as well as the Head Geek, for Eric Flint’s 1632 alternate history world. He also held the Head Geek title for Jim Baen’s Universe magazine. He is the perpetrator of the annual “Weird Tech” lectures associated with the 1632 minicon and was the creator of Ring of Fire series character, Dr. Gribbleflotz, the world’s greatest alchemist.
