I'm happy to report that The Old Flame is finally FINISHED! Now, the editing begins. I'm still shooting for a late fall release, but depending on how long the editing takes, we could be looking at Winter 2024. To tide you all over until then, here's the cover! (subject to change slightly ) Thanks for being so patient! It's on its way!
THE OLD FLAME - Available Fall / Winter

Although I made this update on my Facebook page, I figured I should probably make it on my own webpage (DUH). The sequel to Maxim Ultra has been long-gestating, but there is an end in sight!
I'm almost finished with my current draft. I wanted to have it out this spring, to coincide with the 4th Anniversary of the first novel, but that was not meant to be. I've met me and I am NOT a prolific writer. Prolific in IDEAS, yes, but in actually finished material? No. So, I'm probably looking at sometime in the fall.
Also, I haven't forgotten about the Simpson Shortie, The Heist, which tells the story of how Max landed in prison at the start of the first novel. I just have to edit the hell out of that and, of course, I've been devoting my writing time to the next novel. So, that will definitely be out before the sequel, but I'm not sure when.
So, as a reward for my patient readers, I would like to take this opportunity to reveal the title of the next Maxim Ultra novel! (Drumroll, please) The second Maxim Ultra novel title IS...
THE OLD FLAME!
Hopefully, you'll be reading it sooner rather than later! Stay tuned for future updates!
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!
