The Authors of Dragonlance

Mark Anthony

In the earlier days of Dragonlance, Mark contributed several short stories and one novel to the line.

Between her many contributions to the Dragonlance line, her own Garrac and Elvish novels, Nancy has been one of the strongest and energetic author in the setting.

Presently her work can be seen across a broad range of novels, including the esteemed DAW anthologies.
