Chris d’Lacey originally wanted to be a songwriter, and only started writing books when a friend suggested he enter a competition to write a children's story. More than twenty books later, Chris is still writing fantastic fiction with Dark Fire (book five of the Last Dragon Chronicles) being the latest. He is best known for his Last Dragon Chronicles series which follows the adventures of David Rain and his quests to save the tear of the last dragon, Gawain, and protect dragonkind.

Chris is a retired research technician who lives in Leicester, England with his wife, Jay. He writes full time.
