Matthew Harffy

Most of what I'm seeing on here now is racism, hatred, videos of violence and adverts for rubbish. I'm around on the other social media usual suspects and will post there regularly. I'll be on here less frequently from now on.

Delighted to announce that I'll be teaching on the Deledda Master in Creative Writing & Translation -- a low-residency international MFA based in Sardinia, inspired by Grazia Deledda. Small cohorts, serious mentorship, Mediterranean residencies. Applications open now @ deleddamaster.com #creativewriting #MFACreativeWriting

@JHillAuthor Nice! You kept that under your hat! ;-)

@eknarfer @SA_McKay @JHillAuthor Good man! Never to late to read a great book and discover a wonderful writer.

Thank you @MatthewHarffy @SA_McKay & @JHillAuthor for the constant & consistent recommendation of David Gemmell’s books. I finally got “Legend” & am well into it (read 200 pages on my flight last night). Was reading Moorcock, Feist and Zelazny in the 80s but missed him. Now fixed

@EdoardoAlbert @JHillAuthor @SwordsPaper @rock_swords Who knew?!

@MatthewHarffy @JHillAuthor @SwordsPaper @rock_swords Sorry, wrong Rock, Paper, Swords! It never occurred to me that there might be another!

I had a great time talking to @JHillAuthor and @MatthewHarffy for their @SwordsPaper podcast. When I say talk, I must admit I barely let them get a question in, I prattled on so much about Gabriele Tadino. It's on YouTube and podcast services youtu.be/9lIo6aHvvFY?si…

They barely got a word in!

Happy Friday! I had a lovely day off yesterday for my birthday: a great walk in the sunshine and a pub lunch, and then handing out prizes to budding authors at the Devizes Eisteddfod in the evening. Fabulous! Now back to work! #author #writerslife #writingcommunity #amwriting

Just passed the 100k word mark, which is a massive milestone, and also just finished writing the climactic confrontation between the hero and the villain. Just a couple of chapters to tie up loose ends to go, and the first draft will be done!

«Tiempo de espadas II: Noche en llamas», de Matthew Harfy. ➡️ Consíguelo en amzn.to/4uopE45 ⬅️ Un año después del saqueo de Lindisfarne, Northumbria sigue viviendo bajo la sombra de los vikingos. El mar se ha convertido en la verdadera frontera del poder, y quien lo domina puede atacar donde quiera. En «Tiempo de espadas II: Noche en llamas», Matthew Harffy continúa la historia de Hunlaf, el antiguo novicio que en la primera entrega descubría, casi contra su voluntad, al guerrero que llevaba dentro. Ahora su camino lo lleva mucho más al norte, hacia las tierras de Noruega, en una misión que mezcla diplomacia, viejas cuentas pendientes y la búsqueda de un misterioso libro herético. Pero el viaje pronto se transforma en algo mucho más oscuro. En medio de los agrestes territorios nórdicos, Hunlaf y sus compañeros se ven atrapados en una rebelión fanática que arrasa aldeas y deja un rastro de fuego a su paso. Harffy vuelve a ofrecer una novela intensa y brutal, donde la acción avanza sin tregua y en la que Hunlaf continúa enfrentándose no solo a enemigos de carne y hueso, sino también al conflicto que sigue marcando su vida, el de un hombre dividido entre la fe y la violencia que ahora parece definir su destino. «Tiempo de espadas II: Noche en llamas», de @MatthewHarffy. ➡️ Consíguelo en amzn.to/4uopE45 ⬅️ Publicado por @edhasaeditorial

A very windy day today and started out with lots of distractions, but in the end I made good progress. Speeing towards the final confrontation with the antagonist! #author #writerslife #writingcommunity #amwriting #writer #writing #authors #booklover #bookworm
