Chris D'lacey

  • 5 stars across 32 books
Chris d'Lacey is the author of the The Last Dragon Chronicles and the Dragons of Wayward Crescent series.  He likes dragons.  He was born in Malta, but now lives in Devon with his wife, Jay, and about three hundred teddy bears.  He likes teddy bears, too.  After graduating from York University with a Biology degree, he went to Leicester University where he worked for twenty-eight years as a research scientist, mainly looking down microscopes.  He now writes full time.

In his spare moments, he likes to watch TV and walk by the sea - though not necessarily at the same time.  His passion is writing and recording songs.  His ultimate ambition is to write a song that will feature on the soundtrack of a movie of the dragon books, always assuming a movie is made.

Presently, he is working on two new projects, both of which feature dragons to some extent.
