Not quite. Eric's original plan was to have a series of novels all looking at different time dislocations caused by the Assiti - the Assiti Shards series. In reality, 1632 was so successful that there haven't been many other stories. Time Spike is the only novel, and some associated short stories have appeared in the Grantville Gazette.
So 1632 is part of the Assiti Shards series, but The Ring of Fire series is the name of the series of novels and stories that actually follow on from the 1632 novel.
