by contributing several short stories to various issues of Eric Flint's online magazine The Grantville Gazette set in Flint's 1632 universe. His first short story, The Magic of the Speedster appeared in volume 55 and it describes a 17th-century Native American's exposure to a 20th-century comic book that he had found on the body of a dead English colonist. In the following year, Brown started his The Monster Society series, an ongoing series of short stories about young adult LARPers pretending to fight imaginary monsters in the outskirts of Grantville while growing up and dealing with the effects of 20th-century Grantville appearing suddenly in 17th-century Germany. The first story of the series was successful enough to generate seven more sequels and subsequently republished as a single volume collection through the Flint's Ring of Fire Press in 2018.
