Hilary Smith is a self-published author of three psychological suspense novels—Saving Lucy, The Road Home, and Taking Chances—each blending dark romance, paranormal elements, and emotional redemption arcs. A professional beta reader and current Creative Writing major, Hilary’s work often centers on themes of survival, transformation, and identity. Her writing is shaped by lived experience and a lifelong passion for complex, layered storytelling. With a voice that challenges traditional genre boundaries, she brings fresh perspectives to stories grounded in psychological depth and emotional honesty.
​
Hilary has several projects currently in development, including Hello, My Name Is, a novel that explores reincarnation through the lens of historical fiction. True to her style, this work challenges the expectations of both genre and reader by weaving past lives into present-day truths. Another priority is a sapphic psychological suspense series, which she plans to complete by the end of the year.
​
While she does not intend to pursue traditional publishing or representation, Hilary continues to self-publish with intention and purpose. She’s committed to writing stories that explore emotional complexity while offering hope. She also plans to expand her presence as a beta reader and continue developing her brand as an indie author who prioritizes character-driven suspense and genre-bending narratives. Hilary writes under her own name, believing in full ownership of her creative voice.
