Lauren is happiest at the seaside. With a book. And also a pot of tea. She writes about dragons, mostly. http://linktr.ee/llmacrae SPFBO7 Finalist

Oh yes! I posted it on Instagram - not 100% sure where else? Maybe my newsletter?

But yes! It was an AMAZING author milestone! And even more epic was how quickly all those books went to new homes ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™

Book cover for The End of Time, Book 3 in The Cruel God's, by Trudie Skies. Two figures are on the cover, a gray woman in a gray dress with short black hair in front, a light skinned man in a dark suit with glasses standing behind. She has blue magic radiating from her hand, while he's holding a fancy pistol. A golden mechanical portal shines behind.

Halfway through book 3, despite my best efforts to pace myself. @trudieskies.readindiefantasy.com writes awesome books.

The worldbuilding is well done, the characters feel real, and I am having all sorts of emotions. You should read it

Hahahaha that's awesome! Never a bad time to bake imo :D

I've made some "cheats" bread rolls using flour, yoghurt, and some herbs for a warm from the oven snack (buttered, of course) :D

The colder months definitely lend themselves to baking more!

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."

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 ๐Ÿ”ฅ

I don't really favour either. It would have been lovely to have more of the limited ones, so everyone who wanted one was able to get one, but then that defeats the point of "limited" xD

In an ideal world, there'd be both - so even if people miss out the "special" one, they can get something nice ๐Ÿ’™

Yeah we had wanted to get Shadow Gate out in 2025 but one of the illustrators took quite a bit longer than I'd anticipated, which meant the release was pushed to 2026. Everything else was ready to go in summer 2025!

It's all down to TBB - so hoping they do finish it! ๐Ÿ˜

Hahahaha, it's so hard to sit on exciting information sometimes xD

TBB have said they want to do the whole trilogy, but I don't know anything yet in terms of announcements or release windows. With the finale released in 2025, I'm hoping it'll be sooner rather than later!

Now it's been revealed, hahaha, I knew TBB were working on slipcases for the press editions of The Iron Crown and The Shadow Gate!
