I’ve just sent the beta version of my sixth book (yes, I have four out, yes, this is the sixth) to the first readers and I’m dying inside a bit. Completely different genre (autofiction x queer punk warehouse scene x attachment theory) but still with my dumb humour. Features (whispers) a sex. 😬

Meet the characters of The Silent Division, starting with Lieutenant Theresa Almeida. Be the first to read this new gaslamp fantasy novel as it’s written, only on Patreon. Find out more: www.patreon.com/TimHardieAut...

I’ve revamped my Patreon now I’ve gotten a vague handle on how all of this works! With new tiers, new rewards, an ever-expanding amount of exclusive content and a serialised gaslamp fantasy novel in your inbox every Monday morning, why not take a look at what’s on offer? patreon.com/TimHardieAut...

I have a question. Do y’alls know the expression ‘gardener’s dog’? (Gardener's dog won't let you eat the apples while he doesn’t eat them either.) It’s a Polish expression I’ve been using in English for years and it has just been pointed out to me natives don’t know what it’s supposed to mean. 😬

♥️ ♥️ Takk fyrir Tim!

Yes, I am reading LitHub. Yes, now I want to start re-reading ‘The Bell Jar’ for the 500th time. It’s my comfort read whether that means I’m a 14yo goth girl or not. lithub.com/let-maggie-g...

To be honest, most of the time the LitHub best covers of the month make me cackle, but… I either like or love ALL of those. (Also ‘Land’ is a very good title, I wonder why there aren’t more books called that.) lithub.com/the-13-best-...

In this review for @spotlightindie.bsky.social, I share my thoughts on Land, @bjornlarssen.com’s second book in his Ten Worlds Cycle. This grimdark retelling of Norse myth doesn’t pull any punches… spotlightindie.co.uk/2026/05/12/l...

And it is out! Tales from the Tavern at the Brink of the Abyss issue #1 A Payday and a Pint Handmade zine and audiobook A serialized tale of grimsnark fantasy. Revolting Peasant Press 100% DIY Fuck AI 🔗👇🍻

♥️ ♥️ with thanks to Tim Hardie ♥️ ♥️

An absolutely fantastic review here for Lost Gods ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The series is a masterclass of epic saga craft and it’s always given me vibes of Robin Hobb meets Giles Kristian" Why not give this complete Viking-inspired fantasy series a try? Nick liked it - and so might you!

Apr 26 @spotlightindie.bsky.social have been so kind to invite me on to reveal: Revolting Peasant Press issue #1 I'll be joined by the amazing @dbrook.bsky.social @afrogintime.bsky.social & @timhardieauthor.bsky.social So tune in, to find out just what the hell this is! 🔗👇🍻

“The more we’re exposed to A.I., the more we unconsciously pick up its tics, and it spreads from there. […] Soon, without really knowing why, you will find yourself talking about the smell of fury and the texture of embarrassment.” 😬 This is exactly the sort of similes I use… do I censor myself?

“European Broadcasting Union gave the all clear for Israel to take part in next year’s event in Vienna, the contest’s 70th anniversary edition. In response, broadcasters from Spain, Ireland, Slovenia and the Netherlands announced they would boycott the world’s largest live music event [Eurovision]”
