About M.J. Hardy

M.J. Hardy is an English author known for writing books like The Resort and The Girl on Gander Green Lane. The name M.J. Hardy is actually a pen name for the author S.J. Crabb. They decided to use a pen name for the release of The Girl on Gander Green Lane because it was so different than their previous books. The story is dark and gripping which did not fit with the romance and Christmas books that Crabb usually writes. Crabb ended up selecting the name M.J. Hardy because of a unique family connection. The M.J. comes from Mary Jane, their father’s mother’s name. While the Hardy came from their mother’s mother’s maiden name, Vera Hardy. The author’s full name is Sharon Jane Crabb. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Standalone Novels series, M.J. Hardy has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
