In the early 2000s, Bjorn stumbled across Eric Flint's 1632 and discovered fans were not only allowed to write their own stories, but they also got paid for it.  His first 1632 story was published in 2010, and he now has 4 novels and 26 shorter stories in the 1632verse.  In 2014, he became assistant editor of the Grantville Gazette.  He is now the editor-in-chief of Eric Flint's 1632 & Beyond.  His first non-1632 book came out in May 2024.
