Our Father, who is in heaven, holy is your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven …
My name is Kim Hardy and I feel like I am living in heaven on earth. I used to be a software engineer and Agile coach, but now, by God’s grace, I write speculative fiction with themes of theology, science, and social justice. I also attend The Pittsburgh Theological Seminary (PTS) and am working towards a Masters in Theological Studies (MTS) because with my pen I am Called to Teach.

I published The Beginning of Nations in the fall of 2023 as a five-part serial. It is also available as an eBook when you subscribe.

I am self-publishing this one.
Novels
My debut novel, In Her Bones.
Jean Earl is brilliant and ambitious. But more than that, she can see molecules. That is why she pursues a career in molecular biology. Her plans execute flawlessly until a petulant professor attempts to push her to the sidelines.
Is he racist?
Even though racism has plagued her family tree for seven generations, the professor’s actions shock her. But with help from family, friends, and faith buried deep in her bones, Jean presses on to post-doctoral work in ancient DNA. Her keen vision, loyal analysts, and dedicated developers propel her to success, but success does not bring her peace.
It can’t. Racism hounds her every step of the way.
What can one Black woman do?
She can dig.
I am trying to publish this one traditionally.
