Join us next Wednesday, July 15th, at 8 pm, when our Zoom Chat guest will be Walter Hunt to discuss the research and work that goes into writing historical novels (and alternate history novels, which can be just as demanding). Bring your questions! (Click here for details on how to join the Zoom Chat).

Walter H. Hunt is a science fiction and historical fiction writer. He has been a professional since 2001, and has had eleven novels and ten short stories published. His Dark Wing universe series (The Dark Wing, The Dark Path, The Dark Ascent, and The Dark Crusade) were released by Tor Books between 2001 and 2005, and are now part of the Baen e-library. His historical novels A Song In Stone, Elements of Mind, Harmony In Light and, most recently, City By the Bay, were a departure from the science fiction genre and were critically praised. He has two novels and two short stories in the Ring of Fire / 1632 universe, most recently 1636: The Atlantic Encounter, which has just been published.

He lives in Massachusetts with his long-time wife, who is in the dedication of each of his novels. He is the librarian at the Grand Lodge of Masons in Massachusetts, and is an active Freemason and baseball fan.
