Just wondering why there isn't one. There are a LOT of authors here, but none of them are Lisa Smedman and in my opinion she's a great addition to the Realms.

I hope you didn't use the "n" word in the email. If so, WOTC's filter probably automatically deleted the email.

Of course they may be bound by privacy laws from giving out any sort of contact info for her, or any other author.

But they may be willing to forward any sort of correspondence to her like most other places do. Then she can decide whether or not to respond to the original sender.

Thankee Valondil;

The 'why isn't there a Lisa Smedman' thread is becoming the Troy Denning discussion. Please bring this around to the topic. If anyone knows how to contact Lisa please tell Alaundo or myself so we can speak to her.

The sands of Aunorauch were certainly "dry and tasteless" but The Parched Sea was one of the best Realms Novels I've read.

Troy Denning and James Lowder were the saving graces of the Avatar Series for me. I haven't read anything else by him, though.

The Return of the Archwizards series has its share of critics who did not enjoy the work. Do a search and you'll see a few threads devoted to that series.

However, I did enjoy his work with the Cormyr series.

For the same reason there isn't an "Ask Troy Denning" thread.
Alaundo Posted - 30 May 2004 : 10:19:43
Well met

I attempted to locate Lisa Smedman some time ago, following her pennings in the Sembia Series, upon its release. However, neither I, nor the other number of Sembia scribes who I was in contact with and requested the information from, could locate Lisa.

Therefore, if any Realms authors know of a means to contact this scribe, then please contact me with the information. This would be greatly appreciated.
Sarta Posted - 29 May 2004 : 23:46:02
I spent a bit of time searching out a possible home page for her. I finally found a link to one, but it was a dead link.

Perhaps there would be a way of inviting her to candlekeep through forwarding a message through WotC to her.

Good idea although perhaps simply having another author, who has her address, mention it to her in an email would be best. That method would ensure her privacy was protected and the matter could simply be dropped if she had no such inclination to participate.

Therein lies a problem. I don't recall ever seeing a means to contact this author. I do know I stumbled upon a brief page giving some information about her a couple of years ago. However, no idea if that page still exists. Additionally, I don't recall seeing an email address there when I did visit it.

Yes, she is a fine writer for the Realms. However, unless she's browsing using another name, a thread to ask her questions might be filled with a great many ?'s and no answers.
Kameron M. Franklin Posted - 29 May 2004 : 00:20:58
That's because she's not a registered member of the forums, I think. All the other authors have signed up and visit more or less regularly (except RAS, who has his own forum to deal with).
