Audacity
What makes some people think that they have supreme authority over a family member's life?
In the historic district of Arliss, a small Georgia town, this mindset appears to be contagious. Not only contagious, but it's also gaining such momentum that something is going to blow it wide open. That something is Jodi Bluffton, who is returning after moving away 30 years ago.
The gossipers and busybodies call Jodi an outsider, but Jodi finds out more about the town's darkness in a week than they did throughout their entire small-town lives.
The story that follows is a lot like a game of narcissistic Jenga and you'll love how the pieces fall.

About the author
Victoria S. Hardy
16 books13 followers“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.
Victoria's third novel “The Thing Inside Lucy Doyle”, a psychological thriller dealing with mind control and exorcisms, also features talent from the Augusta area – the editor, cover photographer and the models on the cover photo are all local.
Other novels by Victoria S. Hardy include "Momma Said Write a Book About It" (A tale of a narcissistic and abusive parent, a scapegoated adult daughter, and karma), "Under The Dream House" (a creepy ghostly thriller), “Rotten” (a zombie apocalypse novel with many conspiracy theories as well), and “Kicking The Goat Silly” (a dark Southern yarn about the battle between good and evil).
