Eric Flint Quotations

Poul Anderson's 'The High Crusade' may have had a greater impact on my development as a writer than any other book I ever read.

The 'Heirs of Alexandria' series mixes the Renaissance with magic and demons, based on a changed theological history.

By the time I was twenty-three, I'd given up any thought of becoming a fiction writer, and I didn't return to the craft for over two decades. But, at the age of forty-five, return I did.

My first published novel was 'Mother of Demons,' which is simply 'The High Crusade' standing on its head. Poul Anderson placed his medieval human heroes in a futuristic alien setting; I placed my futuristic human heroes in a bronze age alien setting.

Strength grows from building other strength, not from trampling on weakness.
