A vintage poster of a fake advert in sepia and black. The design shows a magical potion bottle surrounded by stars and the following text: Royal Regis presents Vim and Vigor. Got the morbs? Put some pep in your step, guaranteed!

Sharing one last image from The Chosen One Con... It's a fake advert that I put together myself using stock art! I did a lot of research into making sure the stock art I picked was AI free.

It represents a potion from the Royal Regis brand of potions in the book.

How wonderful!!! :D :D :D

A box set image of the complete Dragon Spirits Trilogy - The Iron Crown, The Shadow Gate, The Broken Sword With the review quote: "A love letter to both epic fantasy and even more so... to dragons." www.llmacrae.com

The complete trilogy is multi-POV adult epic fantasy with underdogs, found family, talking war griffins, ancient artefacts, and basically marries my love of dragons and classic fantasy adventure with Studio Ghibli vibes and less conventional characters 🔥

My arm is aching now lol but for #TDoV, I'll say that my Cruel Gods books are queer and feature side characters that are trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming while my upcoming The Chosen One Con also has trans and non-binary side characters and a POV character who is trans.

Screenshot of a goodreads review for The Iron Crown by LL MacRae "4.5⭐️ How often do you find a book that hits that sweet spot where it has all the tropes and world-building elements you like and familiar with? But also offers a new take on those familiar ideas? Comfortable yet exciting? Let me introduce you to The Iron Crown. A young man wakes up stuck in a bog, with no recollection of who or where he is. And a dragon spirit facing him. From then, Fenn (the said young man) begins his journey to regain the lost memories, picking up two unwilling companions on the way. The writing is fairly easy to get into. Not too flowery or archaic, but it doesn’t fall into overusing modern speech either. The story starts fast, then settles into a medium-pace around chapter 5. There are multiple POV, with Fenn’s being the most exciting. The villain’s portrayal was disappointing at first. He felt a bit…cliche. BUT! Not to spoil the plot, let’s just say there are expected “bad” characters and unexpected ones. It comes together brilliantly at the end. And, to be honest, I would ignore almost any flaw just to continue reading about Fenn. Will I pick up the next book? Most definitely!"

Woke up to a fabulous review of The Iron Crown!! 🔥🔥🔥

It is the absolute best feeling when your book finds its perfect audience!! 🤩🤩🤩
