    About this ebook

    What does a child’s first memory have to do with an Indian girl whose brother has just joined a terrorist group?

    What does a man in a dark Midwestern house have in common with a teenager running from the Buenos Aires Police?

    A misplaced biker and a boy whose sister is about to die?

    They are the people we are.

    They share the same hopes and fears that we do.

    They walk about us every day and stare back from the mirror.

    Welcome to OUT BY THE TREES.

TIE DIE, book #2, releases August 2020.Max also writes under the pen name “Max Radin” when he’s not being purely mysterious or suspenseful.

      Three Poems

      Mar 1, 2019

      War is coming but my neighbors can’t believe it. I ring their doorbells and tell them: maybe not this May, but next June at the latest. They stare straight past me, at the maze of lawns, the sprinklers, a kid on a bike hurling the Globe onto porches.
