About
Pendragon Press was formed in 2000 by Christopher Teague, following on the from the success of his first anthology Nasty Snips. Well, success not so much in financial terms but on a more personal level.
The actual first PP title was Shenanigans by Noel K Hannan, which was duly launched at FantasyCon that same year (and also my first convention). Again, the financial rewards weren't forthcoming yet work continued on the second anthology (Tourniquet Heart) but it had to be placed on hiatus soon after (despite having accepted all the necessary stories).
In 2002, a chance e-mail ended up with Prime Books accepting Tourniquet for publication and for launch at the World Horror Convention in Chicago – there, I was extolled the virtues of digital printing (an hitherto dirty word when it came to book production).
It still took a year of umming and ahhing before Lockley & Lewis's The Ice Maiden was accepted and launched at FantasyCon in 2004 – the first time the Con had returned to a full weekend event, and due to very healthy sales I accepted another novella and also mini-collection, and as they say the rest is history…
This new, revamped website sees a turning point in the progression of Pendragon Press – upping the ante with regard to quality and professionalism.
I hope.
You can read two interviews here and here – both aren't upto date but give extra background information to what makes me tick.
Tock.
Tick.
Okay, I'll get me coat. ;-)
