Question Dragon's Kin (The Dragon Books)

I saw this somewhere on a used book site to buy, but can't remember where.
It said it was published by Ballantine Books in 1969. It also contained the numbers B0012G8XKK.? It is not the new book by Todd and Anne. Can anyone shed some light on this? Is it a Pern book or something else.

Dragon Kin is a book series of which volumes are still for sale. Written by Shelley Laureston:
http://www.amazon.com/Distressing-Da.../dp/159998220X
Maybe you remember seeing the series name, printed on the cover?

It was a movie brought out in 2001 , director Michael Roberts, with script written by him and Joshua Kerr.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0259286/

And of course the name crops up many times in relation toe Fantasy roleplay (Dungeons and Dragons, Everquest etc.) and in other fantasy related stuff.

That been said I think I have a picture of an old bookcover at home (at work now) that has Dragon Kin (not Dragon's Kin) as a title. I'll check that later.

Gee I don't think I have ever heard of this either. From the look of the book cover it looks like a romance novel...but with DRAGONS...and a movie too...what have I been missing !?!
