＂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＂ method 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 (she’s written three so far), 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. Victoria’s latest novel ＂The Thing Inside Lucy Doyle＂, a psychological thriller dealing with mind control and exorcisms. Other novels by Victoria S. Hardy include ＂Rotten＂ (a zombie apocalypse novel) and ＂Kicking The Goat Silly＂ (a dark Southern yarn about the battle between good and evil). She lives in Augusta, Georgia with her husband Chris and many critters.
