If you’re not a fan of Harrow, I suggest buying my book but crossing out Harrow’s name and substituting it with your own or something. Just in case people thought the title was a blind, a LOT of Harrowhark Nonagesimus.

Harrow the Ninth is about to be released, what can readers and fans expect from it? I’m still also trying to learn how to poach eggs, and I think the takeaway is to let other people poach eggs for you. I tried to bake a three-layer chiffon cake at one point to challenge a friend. I can only access Gmail on my phone now.Īnyway, I have also been fine. The whole Internet drops when you block Google. Who are all these rhino-skinned daredevils seeking fame on YouTube and where can I get some of their reckless confidence? I’ve had to block Twitter, Goodreads, Tumblr, Reddit, a whole bunch more I can’t even remember, and Google. I can’t imagine what it is like being a real celebrity. There are days when I am existentially sick from anyone reading my book, talking about my book, discussing my book, and because I am woman-oriented discussing feature flaws of my presentation I had previously not worried about. At the end of the day I am not remotely in the public eye – my only claim to fame is that I have a Wikipedia page, with a photo mocked by all who love me for its look of intense despair barely masked by a sickly grin – but oh my God, I cannot stand it.


You learn how much you can bear being in the public eye. There’s a lot of very helpful guides out there for debut novelists from older, more experienced authors, all of which I read diligently, but there is still so much stuff you have to get to grips with by yourself. Pretty well hit for six, between COVID-19 and getting used to my first novel being out. But before we see Harrow out in the world, we had the chance to chat with award-winning and bestselling author Tamsyn Muir! We dove into the writing process of Harrow, snippets for the conclusion of The Locked Tomb Trilogy, writing while in quarantine, and more! Hi Tamsyn! Tell us about yourself! How have you been these past months? The necromancers are back in Harrow the Ninth, and they’re gayer than ever.
