Indie author Verity Marshall made a left of field decision to deviate from her area of expertise to produce Hard Money – The naked truth behind the red light. Sensing that her ordinary perspective would make an interesting dichotomy of life experiences for such a project, she sought the facts from the whore’s (oops), horse’s mouth.

Before commencing Hard Money, Verity wrote short stories and poetry for magazine consumption. Raising her four children and supporting her husband in his endeavours, consumed the majority of her time. The necessary journey to the dark-side (as with all epic journeys) changed the author’s perspective on the subject. Surprisingly, she has developed a renewed faith in her fellow human beings. Finding many sex-workers and their clients to be good-hearted and honest people was a refreshing revelation.
