More About the Author

`Dragonlance' originators Tracy and Laura Hickman have been publishing game designs and stories together for over thirty-two years - nearly as long as their marriage - and thus started them both on a life of adventure and imagination.

Tracy is a NYT Best-Selling co-author (with Margaret Weis) of many Dragonlance novels including the original `Dragonlance Chronicles', `Dragonlance Legends', `Rose of the Prophet" and "Darksword" trilogies as well as the seven-book "Deathgate Cycle".

Tracy and Laura are remembered together for their role-playing game designs in `Dragonlance' and the `Oasis of the White Palm' series but are perhaps best known for their classic adventure, the original `Ravenloft.'

Life now has provided them the opportunity to fulfill a dream: to write novels together. Tracy and Laura work from adjoining offices in their home and answer questions on their work through their website at www.trhickman.com.

This review is from: The Magic of Krynn: Tales, Volume I (Dragonlance Tales) (Mass Market Paperback)

Golly, it must have been almost 20 years since I picked up a Dragon Lance book. Some of the short stories in this book were full of charters I remembered and others were truly original.
The Blood Sea Monster by Barbara and Scott Siegel in addition to Love and Ale by Nick O'Donohoe were a couple standouts.
I know this is a reprint so I wont spend the time looking up what some of the authors went on to do but I can only assume it was bigger and better things.
I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys the genre.
