Victoria S. Hardy
“I'm just as surprised as the reader is at what happens in my stories” says Augusta, Georgia-born author Victoria S. Hardy about her “unconventional” style of novel writing. She plans nothing, makes no outlines and she doesn't even know how the story will end until the moments before she writes it. She literally watches the story unfold in her mind as she scrambles to transcribe it. The stories themselves sometimes turn out as full length novels, novellas or short stories. “Something just compels me to write, and I write!” she explains.

Her style is a hybrid of suspense, drama, horror, paranormal and a bit of religious influence, sort of like Dean Koontz meets Stephen King.

Originally, I planned to publish “The Auction” under my real name, but then the character Angelica started speaking in my head, and she has a foul mouth. There is nothing my mother hates more than the “F” word. If she knew I used curse words in a book, it would crush her. And if one of her friends read the book and mentioned the swear words to her, well, that would be my mom’s version of public humiliation.
I typically write in a vastly different genre. Readers of my other books would be shocked by The Auction. Even my son, after reading the original first fifty pages said, “Mom, if I didn’t see you sitting at your computer typing this, I would never have believed you wrote it.”
Finally, we live in a world of “woke,” and this book will offe
