List of books published by Ring of Fire Press
The Ring of Fire Press was created in 2013 to release material in the 1632 series that was originally published as serials over successive issues of The Grantville Gazettes magazine. Beginning in 2018, they had released original material in the 1632 series, and had published other works.
On August 16, 2022, Lucille Robbins, the widow of Eric Flint, officially announced the immediate shutdown of both The Grantville Gazette and the Ring of Fire Press. Without a huge infusion of new cash, it was determined that both business ventures would not be economically viable without Flint's participation.[1][2] As a result, all titles became out-of-print; ebook distribution had ceased, and the limited pre-existing stock of new paper editions at authorized retailers will disappear soon.
Some authors, such as Bjorn Hasseler and Virginia DeMarce, have made arrangements with Baen Books to have Baen republish and distribute their books, while other authors, such as Gorg Huff and Paula Goodlett, have decided on the self-publishing route via Amazon (which limit distributions to third-party resellers). Since not all authors have found a new publisher, some titles might remain out-of-print for some time.
