Iron Horses in the Sky is a science fiction and fantasy trains anthology, created in honor of Kevin Evans. He was a huge fan of trains, especially the steam engine varieties. He and his wife, Karen, were fixtures at LTUE every year until they passed away suddenly within months of each other in late 2020 and early 2021. Their smiles and cheerful laughter still echo in the halls each year. They are best known for their stories set in Eric Flint’s 1632 / Assiti Shards alternate history universe, where they wrote many stories and engaged in many different events with the other participating authors.
Author, artist, and editor royalty proceeds from sales of the anthology go to support LTUE in allowing students to attend for a greatly reduced price. Iron Horses in the Sky is the tenth release in the LTUE Benefit Anthologies series.
