"Never let a lack of self-confidence prevent you from making a complete fool of yourself" - Tinsley, June 2026
I love this lovely article about the lovely people at Hay-on-Wye comics doing lovely things to support lovely indie authors. It's all just rather...lovely
I've written another blog post for Spotlight Indie, which includes a sneak preview of the opening line of Vanguard 3
Look at this very cool thing that is happening in two weeks time in #Shrewsbury! Its going to be awesome a) because its free, b) because its full of amazing indie authors and c) because it means my office won't be full of banners/posters/staging/boxes of book swag anymore
Looking forward to this!
With just 5 days to go I'm more excited than my puppy was when she found the world's biggest stick in the park today. Which, as you can imagine, was pretty excited.
Spent 6 hours today working on Vanguard 3. Because I wanted to. Not because anybody made me feel called out on my recent 12 month of procrastination. Totally my choice...
Live right now!!@
It's less than 2 weeks until Spotlight Indie Live. I'm feeling excited, inspired and a little stressed out but mostly I'm feeling incredibly grateful to have such an incredible team around me! @timhardieauthor.bsky.social @alexsbradshaw.bsky.social @frasierarmitage.bsky.social
10 days to go!!!
