Max is the author of three novels, The Sister, The Life and Times of William Boule, and The Night of The Mosquito. The Sister peaked at no 87 in the main amazon book chart at the end of January 2014. Not bad for a debut book by an unknown author. All his books are available on amazon.
The following is extracted from an interview with Max about his first novel, The Sister: 'Just before Easter 2009, a conversation with a friend on the subject of writing, led me to summarise for her each of the stories I'd written so far. As I was recounting them, I was struck by a blizzard of new ideas that streamed from my mouth so spontaneously, I worried I wouldn't be able to recall them afterwards.
Over the next few days, I wrote like a mad thing, just to record all the ideas. The Sister was born.
The inspiration, looking back, was the culmination of a series of 'what if' scenarios:
What if I told you about a serial killer who was so successful at murdering young women, so devious and cunning, he'd remained undetected for over forty years?
What if I told you a cold case reconstruction in late 2006 brought him onto the radar for the first time with the emergence of a new witness to the disappearance of a young nurse in 1983?
What if the detective assigned to the case, had dark secrets of his own?
Without giving away too much, I also wanted to explore the role that chance plays in all of our lives, how fate governs us, and perhaps, ultimately - the possibility that there really is a life after death.'
COMING SOON - Don't Turn on The Light. I was persuaded by friends to write an expansion to a short story I released about a year ago. The writing is going well, and I'm hoping to release it before Christmas...
