Patrick Read Johnson, who wrote the story for Dragonheart, first proposed the idea for the film to producer Raffaella De Laurentiis. Johnson described it as "The Skin Game with a dragon in it...or Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Dragon", and that he wanted "the idea of a dragon and a knight conning villages for money" because he thought that the concept was "not only funny, but kind of sweet".

In 2009 AfterEllen ranked her at No. 6 on their list of the Top 11 Lesbian/Bi Sidekicks. O.C first meets Max in the prequel novel "Before the Dawn", when Max comes to her aid during a bar fight. She is a main character in "Skin Game", where she is kidnapped by a transgenic serial killer, and also had a minor role in "After the Dark", where she continues to be one of Max's closest friends.
Mainhardt agreed to represent him, and six months later The Dresden Files was sold to ROC, an imprint of Penguin Books. The first volume, Storm Front, was released in 2000 in paperback; the next two novels in the series, Fool Moon and Grave Peril, were released shortly thereafter, in January and September 2001, also in paperback. Subsequent novels in the series have been published annually since then up to Skin Game, published in May 2014, followed by a 6 year hiatus prior to the release of Peace Talks. Omnibus editions have been released by the Science Fiction Book Club, with each of the four volumes reprinting two or three of the novels in the sequence.

In Skin Game, his evolution into an active player in Dresden's world continues. When he puts a splint on Harry's broken arm, Butters plants a listening device in the splint in order to eavesdrop on the meetings of Nicodemus Archleone's team. Only after Harry discovers the device and starts to chase him does Butters realize that Harry is secretly trying to foil Nicodemus' plans to rob a high-security vault in the Nevernever. At the end of the story, as Nicodemus and his minions lay siege to the Carpenter house, Harry desperately throws the hilt of Fidelacchius - a Sword of the Cross, inadvertently broken earlier by Karrin Murphy - and it is caught by Butters.
In doing so, Harry "allowed" Lasciel to exert a small measure of influence on his emotions, creating a copy or shadow of Lasciel to live in his mind (see Lash below) as well as give him the ability to use Hellfire. Harry buried the coin underneath his laboratory, but the sigil remained on the palm of his hand, and even protected that part of his hand when the rest of it was burned and blackened by flames while facing Mavra. After the events of White Night, the coin was removed and turned over to the Church. Lasciel returns at the climax of Skin Game with a new host as a jilted lover and enemy of Harry Dresden.
As a political thinker, Crouch was initially drawn to, then became disillusioned with, the Black Power movement of the late 1960s. His critiques of his former co-thinkers, whom he refers to as a "lost generation", are collected in Notes of a Hanging Judge: Essays and Reviews, 1979-1989 and The All-American Skin Game, or, The Decoy of Race: The Long and the Short of It, 1990-1994. He identified the embrace of racial essentialism among African-American leaders and intellectuals as a diversion from issues more central to the betterment of African Americans and society as a whole. In the 1990s, he upset many political thinkers when he declared himself a "radical pragmatist".
In 1948 Corré met the pantomime dame Clarkson Rose who put her in his pantomime Goody Two-Shoes at the King's Theatre in Hammersmith. She played a four-month season in 1960–61 at the London Palladium with Norman Wisdom in Turn Again, Whittington as the Cat. Over the next twenty years Corré was a regular pantomime cat, appearing with, among others, Arthur Askey, Eddie Gray, Dana, Spike Milligan, Joe Brown, Tommy Cooper, Norman Vaughan and Jess Conrad. She appeared in two award- winning television documentaries – Lord Snowdon's Born to Be Small in 1971, about people of restricted growth, and The Skin Game in 1970, an edition of LWT's arts magazine series Aquarius that examined pantomime animal traditions.
Rodney Ackland's first contact with Alfred Hitchcock was as a supporting actor in the 1931 screen version of John Galsworthy's play The Skin Game. But a year later Hitchcock recognised his potential as a screenwriter, collaborating with him on the second film adaptation of J Jefferson Farjeon's London fog-bound thriller Number Seventeen starring Leon M Lion. Ackland co-wrote the popular British film Bank Holiday (1938), contributed additional dialogue to Young Man's Fancy (1940), and made some uncredited contributions to 1941's Dangerous Moonlight and 1944's Love Story. His screenplay for Hatter's Castle in 1941, from the novel by A.J. Cronin, provided a rampant star role for Robert Newton as the megalomaniac Scottish hatter.
When Harry's daughter Maggie is kidnapped in Changes, the two men meet at a Burger King (chosen deliberately by Harry just to irritate Marcone) and Marcone indirectly steers him to Donar Vadderung for help and advice. Harry believes that Marcone genuinely cares about the welfare of innocents, though he still sees Marcone as a villain. In Ghost Story, Harry learns that Marcone is the major backer of the Chicago Alliance, an organization of magical and non-magical individuals set up after his death to defend Chicago against supernatural threats. In Skin Game, Nicodemus organizes a team to break into a high-security vault in the Nevernever; to do so, they must first penetrate Marcone's vault at a mob-controlled bank.
The whole novel is about Outsiders attempting to breach the prison, undo the magic that made it, and free all the great evils imprisoned below it. While the spirit was held at bay by two Queens of the Fey Courts and their entourages working together, it was also inferred that on the island, the spirit had the power to capture Mab herself and imprison her if needed. Also, that it has some connection to the Fairy courts is likely, since it didn't take any direct, violent action to drive the Queens off on its own initiative. However, it likely wouldn't hesitate if ordered to by the island's warden (currently Dresden.) In Skin Game, Dresden has nicknamed the spirit "Alfred", which is not appreciated.
As of Cold Days, she has taken custody of the two Swords and refused to tell Harry where they are, no longer trusting him to be able to properly look after them. In Skin Game he is again the caretaker of Amoracchius, and has assigned Fidelacchius to Waldo Butters as the newest Knight. As Harry's house is attacked several times in the series, he steadily fortifies its defenses, which come to include a reinforced steel door, wards designed to obliterate would-be intruders, and a set of magic candles that indicate when an unwelcome guest is getting close to his door. He lives in the basement of a three-level boarding house until it is burned down in Changes, and rescues his landlady when this happens.
She also forces him to accept the fact that they are more than friends, and that she will stand beside him and watch his back for as long as she can. In Skin Game, Murphy has more or less gone back to how she was before Harry's death, growing back her hair and completely putting her trust in him, to the point that she unconditionally goes along with his plan, even if he kept large parts of it secret from her. It is revealed that she has hidden Amoracchius in the Carpenter house and Fidelacchius in her own, and during a fight with Nicodemus, she wields Fidelacchius again. It shatters into pieces, however, when Murphy tries to use it to kill Nicodemus while he is defenseless, and Nicodemus then severely injures Murphy in the fight.
"Space Race: Part I" was originally broadcast on March 16, 2012 in the United States on FX. Upon airing, the episode attained 1.157 million viewers and a 0.7 rating in the 18–49 demographic, indicating that 0.7% of spectators between ages 18 and 49 who watched television viewed the episode. It garnered the twentieth highest ratings among the 18–49 group out of any cable program of the day, according to the Nielsen Media Research, tying with television programs such as The Daily Show on Comedy Central and Family Guy on Adult Swim. Ratings and total viewership for the episode showed significant increases from the previous installment, "Skin Game", which acquired 1.04 million viewers and a 0.5 rating in the 18–49 demographic. "Space Race: Part II" aired the following week on March 23, 2012.
Species: Naagloshii-human hybrid Description: Mercenary; shape-changer Goodman Grey appears in Skin Game is a member of the Underworld-raiding party assembled by Nicodemus Archleone in order to steal the real Holy Grail. He is the son of a naagloshii father and a human mother, and can perfectly mimic any living creature once he has a sample of its blood, including retina patterns and some level of memories. Nicodemus is greatly embarrassed to learn that Harry has secretly hired Grey as protection during the theft, prior to meeting Nicodemus for this job. Grey works as a mercenary and takes jobs as part of what he calls "paying the Rent," charging Harry one dollar for his services while turning down a share of the diamonds stolen in the raid.
At the end of the novel, he shows Harry what has become of his allies and helps him to resist Mab by whispering in his ear; however, when Harry familiarly calls him "Uri," Uriel reacts with great anger. ("El" being a Hebrew word for God, Uriel's anger toward Dresden may not have come from his familiarity, but with his dropping of what Uriel deems to be "rather important to who and what [he is]".) Harry's dropping of the "-el" from his name also appears to frighten Uriel as well as Harry. This is supported by Uriel not objecting to another nickname that Harry proposes: Mr. Sunshine. Uriel appears in Skin Game, where he begs Michael not to offer himself as a sacrifice to Nicodemus in exchange for letting Harry, Murphy and Waldo Butters live.
As of Cold Days, it is revealed that the Leanansidhe's education of Molly was a scheme to cement her as a de facto vassal of the Winter Court. When Maeve is shot and killed by Karrin Murphy, Molly was hidden under a veil close by, and, as the only eligible de facto Fey vassal close by, is endowed as the new Winter Lady. As of the end of Skin Game, Harry has 'given birth' to a spirit of intellect, formed from the power of Lash's death and himself. She takes the form in the real world as a greenish light (as opposed to Bob's orange) and has taken up residence in a wooden skull Harry had carved earlier in the novel intended to give Bob an extra 'home'.
Uriel also assures Harry that temple dogs live for centuries, and Mouse is more than capable of protecting Maggie for a lifetime, even a wizard's lifetime. In Cold Days, Harry and Molly stop by the Carpenter house to pick him up before moving against the Outsiders' assault on Demonreach Island. In Skin Game, Mouse is still Maggie's protector, and is in fact allowed to go with her to school as a service dog. This disturbs Harry somewhat when he realizes that, with Mouse's intelligence, he will attain a formal educational level higher than Harry ever did, although he can easily picture Mouse getting along well with everyone at the school and enjoying attention while acting like a "normal" friendly dog, especially after Michael tells him that several kids are allowed to play with Mouse during recess as a reward.
While not the greatest of human combatants alive, he is surpassed by very few human beings, is kept in top physical shape by his coin, and has millennia of experience in mind games, as well as being completely unscrupulous in his tactics and methods. Shiro of the Knights of the Cross was one of the very rare members of the Order that could actually best him with a sword, and he beats Karrin Murphy in barehanded combat handily. He proved capable of hurling his blade with pinpoint accuracy across a couple dozen yards of space, and is as willing to shoot a man in the middle of a sword duel as exchange blows. Nicodemus returns to play a major part in Skin Game, where he puts together a team to steal the Holy Grail from Hades's treasure vault.
In Cold Days Harry learns that some point soon, the parasite will eventually burst forth from his skull and kill him unless Molly assists him seeing how Mab deliberately kept the two apart. In Skin Game, it is revealed that when Lash died, in an act of love (love being a form of creation) from saving Harry, the remains of her spirit joined with his to create a new spirit of intellect as their "daughter." Both Mab and Demonreach refer to the spirit as a parasite, knowing that it will enter the world with a great deal of knowledge and power but no experience, judgment, or morals to guide it in their use. As the spirit grows, it begins to put increasing strain on Harry's mind, causing him to experience severe headaches, fatigue, and dulled mental focus.
In Small Favor, it is revealed that Nicodemus, the Denarians' de facto leader, was unaware of this, and that the ones aiding the Black Council are doing so without his approval (he personally considers the Council a threat to his own plans and in fact may be fighting against them). Currently, the most likely suspect for the Black Council's mole within the Order of the Blackened Denarius is Nicodemus's wife, Tessa, who may have stolen eleven of the thirty coins for herself and fled, abandoning Nicodemus and his followers. Nicodemus himself is aware of this treachery, but was attacked by Harry before he could act on the knowledge. Jim Butcher has said that Nicodemus is alive, and he is now terrified of Harry; in order to rid himself of the potential threat posed by Harry, Nicodemus persuaded Mab to loan him out for a supernatural vault robbery in Skin Game.
After peace returned, Gwenn's leading roles in the West End during the 1920s included Old Bill in Bruce Bairnsfather's Old Bill, M.P. (1922); Christian Veit in Lilac Time (1922–23); the title role in A. A. Milne's The Great Broxoff (1923); Leo Swinburne in Good Luck by Seymour Hicks and Ian Hay (1923); and Hippolyte Gallipot in Lehár's Frasquita (1925).Parker, pp. xxxvi–cxxii Looking back at Gwenn's career, The Times considered, "Out of scores of other parts which he played in England and in America, the best remembered are probably Hornblower in Galsworthy's The Skin Game, the Viennese paterfamilias in Lilac Time and Samuel Pepys in Fagan's And So to Bed in 1926." Gwenn began his film career in 1916, playing Macbeth in The Real Thing at Last, a satire of the American film industry written by Peter Pan playwright J. M. Barrie.

Mab's terrifying political acumen and ruthlessly manipulative cunning are on full display in Skin Game. The entire novel is about her gaining revenge on Nicodemus for betraying and then leaving Accords that she drafted. She forces Harry to work with his archenemy by artfully removing all his other options ahead of time; has Nicodemus come to her to gain Harry's services in paying off an old debt; and gives Nicodemus the very idea of breaking into the vault of Hades just so he will murder his own daughter to do so, whilst convincing Marcone to set up the Vault for Nicodemus to break into specifically to make the link into Hades' vault to enact his own vengeance for his torture at Nicodemus' hands ... and Hades to go along with it by being Marcone's first depositor. Furthermore, the idea that Nicodemus' daughter would not be judged by Heaven and so be free of punishment is completely voided by the fact that Hades takes his role as judge of the dead very seriously, indeed.
