L.L. MacRae

Hello fellow book dragon! Thank you for visiting my author page. :)

I'm a British fantasy author of character-driven stories and epic adventure.

My books contain dragons, bucket-loads of magic, less conventional characters, and are typically fun and hopeful.

I live in a tiny village in the English countryside, have a degree in Psychology, and was a professional copywriter before going full-time as an author—swapping corporate copy for magic and dragons.

Physical copies of my books are available exclusively through my website (or The Broken Binding) and never on Amazon. All paperbacks can be signed/lined/dated and ship internationally: https://llmacrae.com/shop

Book one in my Dragon Spirits Trilogy, The Iron Crown, was a finalist in SPFBO7, and

Adam R. Bishop

Adam R. Bishop is an epic fantasy author from Ontario, Canada.

Raised in a small town, before the birth of the internet, imagination was everything. Visual art quickly became his first passion. However, this all changed after reading The Hobbit. The world of J.R.R. Tolkien quickly became the kindling of a lifelong relationship with fantasy.

Other greats from the world of fantasy such as C.S. Lewis and Hayao Miyazaki, offered further insight into said genre. Amidst such immersion, interest in Nordic and Greek mythology led to a brief pursuit of historical academics. With a well-rounded understanding of myth, lore and all things fantasy, the beginnings of his own world began to take shape.

Adam has always thought of books as more than just the t

When she’s not binge-reading the next doorstopper on her TBR or engaging in frantic theory crafting in between Brandon Sanderson and Will Wight book releases, she likes to spit bars in her best Angelica Schuyler impression and walk her cat.
