MAXIM ULTRA
Meet Maxim Ultra. Interstellar adventurer. Independent Contractor. Convict. For the better part of three years, Max has been a prisoner on the planet Aval—the result of a job gone bad. He trusted the wrong people and lost his crew in the process.
He is offered a chance at redemption by Matthias Glintock, a hard-nosed galactic lawman with an unorthodox style of doing things. Glintock believes Max is the only hope to stop Kalen Vandeir, a murderous psychopath who blames Max for his recent stint in prison.
Max and Glintock enter into an uneasy alliance as they race against the clock to find not only Kalen, but also a mysterious artifact that has the potential to kill millions. All the while, Max tries to reconcile with his ex-girlfriend, duck his professional rival, and rebuild his life.
Action and adventure await in Maxim Ultra!
THE OLD FLAME
A horrific act of terrorism has taken place on the planet Aval. GAC agent Matthias Glintock has been assigned to the case and video surveillance has pointed him to the number one suspect: Maxim Ultra.
But how? Max has reconnected with an old flame back home on Earth, nowhere near Aval. Unfortunately, that doesn't stop the law and hordes of bounty hunters pursuing him across the galaxy to make him pay for his crime or collect the exorbitant reward.
Now, Max must choose his allies carefully as he attempts to not only save his own neck, but discover just who committed the crime in the first place and bring them to justice.
Maxim Ultra's story continues in The Old Flame!

August 13, 2024 - Meet the Cast of The Old Flame!
I’ve been messing around with the AI art generator, SeaArt, and decided to try and render the cast of The Old Flame! A lot of these came out great. The only one that didn’t quite get there was Gerry, but he’s cute. The program was having a problem showing a really big, friendly blob. Oh well. While I know there are a lot of cons to using AI, for just messing around like this, I think it’s a great tool to realize images. However, let me be absolutely clear, if I could afford to have an artist do all this for me, I totally would. The pitfalls of self-publishing, I guess. Maybe someday….

The photos are of actors I would love to see cast in the roles if I ever have the privilege to have Maxim Ultra adapted into a film or TV series. Obviously, none of these actors are connected to the project in any way. They are just reference points for the characters’ appearances. Take a look!
