Virginia Easley DeMarce (born November 28, 1940) is an American historian who specializes in early modern European history, as well as a New York Times Best Selling author[1] in the 1632 series collaborative fiction project.
DeMarce continues to live in Arlington, Virginia, with her husband of 43 years (deceased in 2010), who was Director of Coal Mine Workers Compensation Programs at the U.S. Department of Labor.
In these positions, she helps select likely stories for the project and manages the 1632 canon, common shared resources, and integration between authors.
She began writing fiction upon the request of participants in the 1632 Tech forum at Baen's Bar, where she had contributed technical input and assistance.
Her first fiction contribution to the project was the short story "Biting Time", which she wrote with great reluctance under much pressure.
