Jim Baen's Universe

Authors | Gorg Huff and Paula Goodlett

Gorg is a riter—that's a writer who can't spell. In the past he was a soldier, then had an undistinguished work history. He has painted, sculpted, done computer graphics and computer programming. Unfortunately, he's noticed that being a jack-of-all-trades really bites when a prospective employer is looking for a master-of-one. Gorg wrote his first published story after an argument over the effects of sewing machines on tailors and the economy, for Eric Flint's 1632 universe. He says: It's weird where inspiration can come from.

Paula lives with her husband, Mr. Fix-it, and an insane Pekingese. She wrote a story about a sheep that plans to conquer the world and is obsessed with the color blue, which led (eventually) to the editorship of the Grantville Gazette, an electronic magazine dedicated to Eric's Flint's 1632 Universe. Editing skills are necessary because she doesn't always think in coherent sentences. She says: Because the Pekingese frazzles my brain. But Gorg doesn't believe that.
