Eric Flint's 1632 & Beyond Issue #13
The continuing exploits at Redbird Institute. We asked for enough Redbird Institute stories for one issue. Including a related story set in Paris, we received enough to fill two issues! The three Redbird Institute stories in this second issue are set after it starts operation.
Garrett W. Vance leads with “Life List,” a prequel for a Wonderland character you may recognize. Bethanne Kim discovered what a big deal pageants (and tiaras) are in real-life Mannington and brings that to Grantville with “Miss Redbird.” (Look for the tie-in with Garrett’s story.)
Edith Wild’s tale “The Young Lady of the Lake” is seen through the eyes of a new character but also brings back Peter Wettin and Linda Jolliffe Wettin, the main characters in Anne Keener’s “Birthday Pains” in Grantville Gazette 88 & 89.
A year after Redbird Institute opens, Paris holds a World’s Fair. Tom Kidd brings us “Grantville Gumshoe in A Seventeenth- Century World’s Fair.” We hope you have enjoyed this introduction to the Redbird Institute, which will continue to appear in stories.

More theme stories about people involved in the new Redbird Institute. My favorite image from the stories is the Lady of the Lake bursting up through the surface of the water holding the sword high. The stories give you a slice of regular life and are not the world ending plots themes of many books. That is fine with me. Sit back, read and enjoy life in alternate 1636.
