Hello Readers! I’m thrilled to share some exciting news about Bard Hard! With the finish line in sight, here’s what you can (probably) expect in the coming weeks as we approach the official release.
Bard Hard | Song of the Exiles | Book 1
Wisdom hides from adventure
Panic doesn’t have a plan
Never listen to the guy who brings a lute to a sword fight
All souls enter the afterlife screaming, but Renly Teurig’s didn’t make a sound. Intrigued, the goddess Neuillya came to hear the Bard’s tale.
Born of the Teurig, a renowned company of performers, a young musician unwittingly binds himself to the lute of a celestial muse. Tragedy, exile, and chaos follow. As Renly struggles to master the lute’s power and understand the mysterious forces that threaten his world, his days become a series of supernatural encounters, daring gambles, and near-death escapes.
Bard Hard is high-fantasy at its best, combining immersive world-building and magic systems with a humorous narrator. It takes readers on their first journey into the fantastical world of Kiir, following the life and times of one of its most enigmatic and conflicted inhabitants. With epic quests, thrilling battles, and unexpected twists and turns, it’s a tale of destiny, identity, truth, sacrifice, and the power of storytelling.

Picked by the gods—or picked on? Either way, it’s gloriously problematic!
Epic Humor, Epic Action, Epic Epic! Quests, good friends who have your back… or do they? Fabulous Action! Witty Banter (I love the wit!!) Heroes face insurmountable challenges. This is an immersive experience, the world draws you in and oh, yes! You’re gonna love it here! LOTR, GOT, watch out, the new epic is here! I can’t wait for the next book, the author is brilliant! The world is waiting for this, it just doesn’t know it yet…
Audiobook Recording News
The audiobook version of Bard Hard is in production, narrated by the incredibly talented Steven Barnett. He’s bringing the characters and story to life chapter by chapter, and it’s been amazing to hear! This means the audiobook will be available not long after the print and digital releases, so stay tuned for updates on the launch date!
Release Dates for Paperback, Hardback, and Kindle
Experience has taught me to expect at least one unforeseen, last-minute formatting issue from the printer. So, these dates may adjust slightly. Keep an eye out for updates!
Hardback
I haven’t fully committed to releasing a hardback yet. I have formatted one and ordered a physical copy to see how it looks. If I feel the quality is worth the price tag, it will be available by late November or early December.
Paperback
Starting November 11th, Bard Hard will be available in paperback.
Kindle Pre-Order/Release
The eBook should be available for pre-order on Amazon starting November 11th, with an official release on November 18th. Early reviews are incredibly valuable in supporting the book’s success! If you’re eager to share your thoughts, please don’t hesitate!
This journey has been amazing, and I can’t believe we’re almost there! I’m so excited for you all to meet Renly Teurig and follow him into the world of Kiir. Whether you choose the paperback, eBook, or audiobook version, your support in spreading the word and leaving reviews is immensely appreciated!
Stay tuned for more updates, and happy reading!
