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).

I loved it! The characters were interesting and the storyline was a different take on the zombie theme, which was a welcome relief from what I've read before. I highly recommend this book!

Victoria S. Hardy possesses a brilliantly creative mind. Her book "Rotten" follows a teacher and a ragtag group of young adults who find themselves brought together right in the middle of a zombie apocalypse.
The story opens as the town of Arlington is under siege. Dove, Princess, Rotten, Moonshine, Highland and teacher Sully find themselves barricaded in a building as zombies tear up the town. As night fades into day the group prepares to set out into the world, intent upon preserving their lives and escaping this sudden monstrous event. What happens next is beyond anything any of them could ever imagine.
If you are into books that challenge the way you look at the world, you should read this. A lot of what Ms. Hardy has written "in between the lines" is quite plausible in this day and age. Just read it and come to your own conclusions. You will certainly begin to view the world with a different set of eyes.
If you simply like books about zombies, you will love this.
"Rotten" is a true page-turner which left me hanging, wanting more. Ms. Hardy should write a sequel to it. Yes, it's that good.
