Elaine Cunningham: http://www.elainecunningham.com/
Voronica Whitney-Robinson: http://www.voronica.com/

I don't believe Ed Greenwood has a homepage. However, I believe he has made some postings on R.A. Salvatore's boards.

Your list is quite comprehensive. Be nice if that was added to the main site's scrolls for future visitors to reference.

I have my own personal webpage at http://kameronmf.home.comcast.net, but it is more geared toward getting me a job than a library of works, considering Maiden is my first book. I do have plans to run a website that will support my first original fantasy trilogy (and subsequent books set in that world), but that's still a year or two away.

My Web page is:

http://stonehill.org/rlb

It's usually woefully out of date at any given time, though. If you want to know about my current projects, you're likely to do better asking me here on these boards.

Ed doesn't have a site yet, though he owned edgreenwood.com and may still. He agrees he needs one -- his news and point of view could do with more prominence -- and something is in the works. I wonder how much Realmslore Wizards wouldn't mind him putting up. (He's posted at ralsalvatore.com, but has posted much more, over 50,000 words, to REALMS-L.)

One of my fellow "original Realms players" was going to do a site for Ed, but got called up (military reserves in Canada), and so things are on hold. Alex von Thorn (see "The Politics of Hell" in issue #17 of The Dragon) was going to do an Ed webpage at one point, and I seem to remember some of Ed's fellow Realms authors offering, too.
The problem is TIME. I think Ed did four novels in 2003, a bunch of game products, a dozen-some short stories, lots of web columns for Wizards and magazine columns (he writes scholarly stuff for librarian journals, too, and not a "vast" or "terrible" or dialect word to be seen therein, either :)). So what would you rather have? A webpage, or lots and lots of Realmslore. The man blurbs and fixes books for lots of other writers, too, some of them big names in hard sf, mystery, and juvenile fiction. Oh, yes, and he DOES have a "day job."

Hi (J.)/A./C./?,

I also offered a web designer friend's help to do Ed a site last month, but found out about the 'something in the works' vaguely mentioned above. There's a lot that could be done in advance of major participation by Ed: simple news, a FAQ, and with the cooperation of WotC some of the lore that's been posted to REALMS-L, or privately, or by wizards.com and since vanished.

My home page is www.rosemaryjones.com

And I've tried to include all the links there that I have to the other authors published in Realms of Dragons II, which was where my first Realms story was published. Right now my page is all about Crypt of the Moaning Diamond, which is my first novel in the Realms.

I also have a My Space page and at least two WOTC authors are linked to that. You can get to the My Space through my website.

I'm happy to add links. Just drop me an e-mail.

Oh, that strikes me straight on - Rosemary has only the title as Acolyte. Would ķt not be a fair thing to grant her the rightly accomplished title as FR Author?!? Moderators, get to work quickly!

And there is Eytan Bernstein who is a freelancer and did quite a bit of work on Dragons of Faerūn and is responsible (in a good way) for writing the "Class Chronicles" articles that gave most of the new 3.x classes places in the Realms.

Add me! I actually have two depending on one's preference (both are in my sig below). The Livejournal is fairly simple, but I mirror all posts on MySpace where things are a bit more customized to my tastes.

Voronica hasn't kept up her page at voronica.com and the URL looks to have been grabbed by a cyber-squatter or is in "park" mode.

Just got a web site launched myself at http://www.jameslowder.com

Still working on steveneschend.com (and have to pay to reup its ownership). I have a placeholder page for my business website at www.vistagmedia.com. I'm also hoping to move my blog from livejournal to my own site (and have it mirrored at LJ and a few other places at which I can blog).
