Born in 1934 in Colony, Kansas, Max grew up in small towns. Moving with his family to Atchison at age 10, he soon learned that delights and adventures along the Missouri River awaited just outside the well-oiled hinges of his bedroom window screen. Max graduated from Topeka High School and attended Washburn University in Topeka, where he was a feature writer for The Washburn Review.
After a thirty-eight year career as a machinist, Max retired in 1992 to begin a new career as a writer. With a number of poems, short stories, and one novel—The Revival—previously published, his latest book—Tales From Comanche County—provides more belly laughs.
