Who does Amie like?

Well, lots of people. I'll be linking to the sites of writers I know and some writers I don't know (but would like to!)

R.D. Henham and Friends

Who is R.D. Henham? Not even RD's assistants know for sure! All we know is that RD is a scribe in the great library of Palanthas who wanted to record the adventures of every type of dragon as described in The Practical Guide to Dragons. More info is available on R.D.'s Website.
