TG Hardy’s short stories and essays have appeared in Narrative Magazine, The William & Mary Review, the Jackson Hole Writers Conference 25th Anniversary Anthology, Open Window Review, Faircloth Review, and elsewhere. His debut novel, WHERE THE SABIÁ BIRD SINGS, was published in the fall of 2023.

Tom has worked as a greenskeeper on a golf course, a deckhand on a sailing yacht, a sorority busboy, a navy fighter pilot, a screen actor, an advertising intern, and a manager of a succession of consumer brands and their international franchises.

He spent what he considers his formative years in Rio de Janeiro, attended high school on Long Island’s north coast, graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in liberal arts, and studied advanced Portuguese on a fellowship at the University of Wisconsin. After military service, he earned a graduate degree from The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College.

As a family, the Hardys lived in several New England states, then overseas in Sydney, and Rio de Janeiro, and afterward the Connecticut suburbs of Manhattan. When their two sons went off to university, Tom and Pam moved to the city so that Pam could earn a graduate degree in social work. They currently live in Denver, where two-thirds of their grandchildren and half of their grand dogs live. The rest live, most conveniently, in the winter vacationland of Southwest Florida.
