Ree Soesbee has written several d20 books, for Avalanche & AEG (at least).

/me waves a little flag

I write. Most of my contributions are playtesting and basic ideas, but I generated the concept of Jungles of the Mind (watch for it in print at the end of the year) and many of the prestige classes and concepts in our products, wrote flavour material for Necromancer's Legacy... which reminds me, keep an eye open for a webhancement I wrote for Necro coming up soon.
Hven't written anything completely by myself yet, largely cuz I bow to the expertise of my partner crunchmasta Hound for d20 mechanics (although I too am a legacy level RPGA judge).
I also own a little upstart corporation called Ambient.

Does that count?

Y'know, until recently, I thought Tracy Hickman was a woman....

Yeah, I had that problem at first too. I think I first realized it when I saw the names Tracy and Laura Hickman together.

Sign me up for that one.

I've been thinking for the last twenty years that there's this cool sister duo writing D&D stuff. I always wondered about that.

Tracy's a guy. Huh. There you go.

i remember going to see a Dragonlance seminar at Gen Con in 85. i thought Tracy was a woman before then too.

not until i actually heard him talking did it dawn on me.

Rose Estes wrote Greyhawk novels, but I think that might have been a pseudonym for Roger Moore. I can't remember off hand.

Really? I had no idea -- but I also thought those books were pretty bad. Weren't there also some D&D "choose your own adventure" type books credited to Rose Estes?

Don't forget Deir'dre Brooks, the developer of SS&S's (wow thats a lot of s's ) new Warcraft d20 line. She's also written quite a bit of Scarred Lands stuff, including a book we're working on right now.

I believe Christina Stiles also coauthored "Jigsaw", which is one of my favorite Dungeon mag adventures.

Yes there is. I happen to own one called Pillars of Pentegarn by Rose Estes
