Bio
When G. Richard Hoard was 20 years old, he came face to face with the old man convicted of paying $5,000 for the murder of Hoard's father. Such is the opening of Hoard's debut book, a memoir titled Alone Among the Living (1994). The memoir details the teenage Hoard's perspective on his father's death. Floyd Hoard was a Georgia prosecutor who was killed on August 7, 1967 when a dozen sticks of dynamite wired to his car ignition exploded in his driveway. Alone Among the Living was named the fall 2017 Georgia Reads book, a digital book club of Georgia Public Broadcasting, the University of Georgia Press, and Georgia Humanities.
G. Richard Hoard's most recent novel, The Missing Boys (2017), has been called "an engrossing, chilling and intricate small-town mystery" by Bestthrillers.com.

Hoard wrote two previous novels, The Race Before Us (2005) and Through Fear of Death (2013). G. Richard Hoard has won writing awards from the Georgia Press Association, The Salvation Army, and the AMMY Foundation.
