The Dragons’ Beads: A Treasury (volume 1)
Various Authors
Edited by Teresa Garcia
Amazon | Audible (pending) | Barnes & Noble | CreateSpace | Kindle | Kobo | Smashwords

This first volume of what is hoped to be a multi volume project highlights essays, art, poetry, and short stories featuring and/or about dragons. Originally it was supposed to be a contest to highlight the best dragon stories and poems from young authors. The project had to be adjusted due to a lack of submissions (likely because this is a young and little known publisher). Perhaps future volumes will be able to have more competition, and it is hoped that in the future THG StarDragon Publishing will be able to afford having cash prizes to fuel writer’s interest in exchange for featuring the “beads” of their stories.
