    I don't think so. He was having some difficulties as I recall that may
    have cut into his time & energy to post here.

    Good. Guess I am glad in this particular case,
    that my memory was wrong.

    So 6 months ago I had cochlear implant surgery, and
    at the 6th month checkup with the audiologist Dr.
    (My understanding is better, but still NOT good)
    I mentioned I'd gotten summoned to jury duty,
    and told them that I was 7- years old, my hearing
    was very poor, and I frequently misunderstood
    what people said. I was still required to
    stand by. The audiologist said if it happens
    again, let her know, she would be happy to write
    a note scratching my obligation.

    Turns out, it was the Boundry 'co-author' Eric Flint that died.

    from wiki
    "Since both the Grantville Gazette and the Ring of Fire Press had ceased operations shortly after Eric Flint's death in 2022,[3][4][5] the series
    was originally expected to be concluded after manuscripts that had
    already been submitted to Baen prior to Flint's death were published in
    the upcoming year or so.[6] In June 2023, it was announced that a new
    company, Flint's Shards Inc., had signed a contract with Lucille
    Robbins, Eric Flint's widow and heir, to produce a new electronic
    magazine called Eric Flint's 1632 & Beyond that was scheduled to be
    released bimonthly on the first day of odd-numbered months ,with Bjorn Hasseler as editor-in-chief, starting inSeptember 2023.[7]"

    If you enjoyed the Flint/Spoor collaboration, their book _Fenrir_ will
    be coming out in June. Ryk is posting teasers, links to which can be
    found on his Facebook feed. _Fenrir_ may well be Eric Flint's last book
    to see print. Dammit. The eARC is available at Baen.com.

    (Ah, _Fenrir_ is not a continuation of the _Boundary_ series, nor any
    other. It might be the first book of one, though. Ryk seems to have
    about 30 irons in the fire atm.)
