BIOGRAPHY

Phillip Hardy

Phillip is a decorated US Army veteran who served for thirteen years. He’s a former Drill Instructor, the son of a WWII era veteran and the father of a soldier.
He grew up reading great western writers like Louis L’Amour and watching westerns with his father. He’s the former owner, writer and editor of a small community paper.
He began writing as a way to share some of his experiences while stationed in Alaska with family and friends thousands of miles away. It wasn’t until some coworkers read a short story he had written and begged for more that he discovered he had a gift from God for story telling.

From Doug S.

I just finished Fool’s Gold authored by Mr. Hardy. This is the 3rd book in the James Harding series and it had me from page one. Mr. Hardy’s ability to keep your attention and fuel your anticipation of what is coming on the next page, proves he is writing genius . The story brings together all three books justifying the meaning of why James is the way he is. This is a must read if you want to be part of James Harding continuing adventures and his life of justifications. Get your copy now don’t wait til they are gone.

What Graham has to say

This is an amazing book. I am an avid reader, and I loved it. Jim Harding is an amazing character. I shared it among a few of my friends, and one of them compared it as a Christian Louis L’Amour. It is not a long book, not much over two hundred pages, but the detailed, ingenious writing makes it a must-read.

Another 5 Star Review

Excellent story telling, a quality work from a great writer!!! A Christian western from a an intelligent mind. A great work!!!

A tough taut western@

When pushed, it takes a big man to choose not to respond in anger…He can agree, he can smile, he can do all he can to avoid confrontation…But when the pusher keeps pushing. When the pusher chooses not to move on. When he makes it impossible to back down any further…Then when the big man brings the fury, the pusher will get everything he deserves…A tough , taut, traditional Western with a three dimensional main character who steps outside the traditional tropes…

Part of the James Harding Series

Follow James on his journey from fury to redemption. Each book stands alone, but together they make a great gift set for that reader in your family. Or, take your own ride back to the wild west where times were tough and men were tougher.
