about me

Max Griffin writes gay romance, horror, and science fiction stories, often with a dark twist. Authors as diverse as John Updike, Dean Koontz, Richard Matheson, and Lawrence Block inspire and inform his literary style.

Max Griffin is the pen name of a research mathematician and academic. Under his professional name, he is the author of a graduate textbook in real analysis and numerous articles in mathematics journals. When he is not writing fiction, his days are filled with teaching, research, and administrative work at a major comprehensive university in the southwest USA. He is the proud parent of a daughter who is a librarian. He is blessed to be in a long-term relationship with his life partner, Mr. Gene, who is an expert knitter.

The two humans in Max's household are the pets of an Abyssinian cat named Mr. Dinger, short for Erwin Schrodinger the Cat. Mr. Dinger graciously lets them live in his home in return for food and occasional petting. Oh, and there's that litter box thing they do for him too.

Max is currently seeking representation for his novel, "Seeking Hyde."
