Mischievous Max

by Beau Durand

Overview

Mischievous Max - And the Beast of Silvernails

Max Hunter is a typical 7th-grade teenage boy living in the small town of Pine Plains, NY. In middle school he is on the football team, runs track, lives on a farm, and takes the bus to and from school every day. He also shovels horse poop and tars fences to earn his own spending money and raises giant pumpkins for the Fall Harvest Fair

He also has a habit of finding trouble wherever he goes

Everything changes for Max when he discovers a horrific murder at his favorite hangout spot, an old abandoned barn along the quiet Rojan Kill Creek. A headless body, a dead pig, and creepy dolls hanging from the rafters can only mean one thing: a killer like no other is among them.

Max decides to enlist the help of his sister Riley and his friends to name the victim and find the killer—his father, the Sheriff, couldn't possibly do it all on is own. Max discovers secrets haunt the sleepy town of Pine Plains at every turn, and several teachers and a new girl in school aren't what they seem. Max encounters the Beast, and his life will never be the same.

Look for Mischievous Max. Book Two, coming Fall 2020!

About the Author

I am a native New Yorker. After much study in locations like Russia, Europe, & education in Hawaii, Las Vegas & San Diego, I settled in Colorado Springs where I moved my successful medical weight loss company, Life Prime (www.LifePrime.com). I continue to work for our largest school district driving special needs students each early morning and afternoon.

I write fiction with projects developing for YA, NA, and adult audiences. I love science fiction, fantasy, suspense, horror, thriller, romance. I’m especially interested in exploring the nature of life and where humans came from and are headed

This is a new journey me, and I hope you enjoy coming along as my first works hit the market later this Fall 2019. Plans include several series, including: VICTOR BLACK TM (New Adult), NEMESIS TM (New Adult/YA), AND MISCHIEVOUS MAX TM (Young Adult). Individual horror and mystery novels in production begin with BASILISK (Adult) due to publish this Fall 2019. Look for regular short stories beginning September 1, 2019.

Much of my interest in fiction and science fiction stems from amazing—and true—experiences I had while conducting research in astrophysics at the Bolshoi Observatory in Russia; after my sister’s sudden death on my birthday in 2010; from my time as a hotel manager and seeing real ghosts; and from experiences from my skydiving career, and more

My education spans Russian Translation, International Relations and Law. I have built and lost companies, and NOW find that life really begins as I approach fifty.
