The Dragons: Saucy Chronicles II

by Steve Hall (Editor), Perry Kim, Amber Teasdale

This is the second volume in a series of fantasy anthologies by the members of the Saucy Ink writing group (). As with the preceding volume, the group selected a theme for the collection—in this case, dragons.

Again, as was the case with the unicorns in the first volume, the dragons in these stories vary in many respects from “fairytale dragons.” Some are main characters, some are supporting cast. Some are good; others, not so much. But each, in its own way, is unique.

If you read The Unicorns, you’ll recognize some of the authors in this book. Others are new to the series, and their presence here strengthens the series overall. Once again, on behalf of all the writers, I hope you enjoy these stories.

About the author

Steve Hall is Professor of Criminology in the Social Futures Institute. He is an internationally leading criminological researcher and theorist. His book Criminal Identities and Consumer Culture (Willan 2008, with Simon Winlow and Craig Ancrum) has been described as ‘an important landmark in criminology’ and his most recent book Theorizing Crime and Deviance (Sage 2012) has been lauded as ‘a remarkable intellectual achievement’ that ‘rocks the foundations of the discipline’.
In the 1970s Steve worked as a professional musician and general labourer, and in the 1980s he worked in the field of rehabilitation and youth offending.
After graduating from university in 1991 with first class honours in sociology, he worked as a lecturer at Teesside from 1993, a member of the team that established the country’s first single-honours criminology degree. After spells as a senior research fellow at the University of Durham and a researcher and teacher at Northumbria University, he re-joined Teesside in 2010.
