Current ARC read - THE EXILE OF ZANIBAR by well-known painter, art writer, & now fantasy author DANIEL MAIDMAN!

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...

This month I examine the impact branching out into editorial work could have on my wider creative output, and why it's the right decision to diversify. I also consider the risks to my business of AI and what humans can offer when it comes to creativity. www.timhardieauthor.co.uk/blog/dont-yo...

Determined to catch up on my ARC reads this spring/summer! Long overdue - current read is ICEBREAKER Book 1 of INTERLOPER by STEVEN WILLIAM HANNAH ! Truly a fascinating, disturbing, and compelling read so far!

The beginning of the end is nigh... SURE-STEEL Book 7 & FINALE in THE DROWNED KINGDOM SAGA! Coming Early 2027!!!!

More than 1 year since I finished reading Book of the Fallen... Time to re-enter the Malazan universe! Current Read: The Tales of the Witness Book 1 THE GOD IS NOT WILLING by STEVEN ERIKSON ! Absolutely thrilled to be getting to this finally!
