My relationship with New Orleans began with a job cooking in a cafe on Bourbon Street at the age of seventeen. My foodservice resume now includes many of New Orleans’ iconic music and dining destinations. I no longer reside in New Orleans full time but I keep to the expat creed of “Be a New Orleanian wherever you are.”
A devoted reader of detective and crime novels, I have worked as a chef on a boat traveling the inland waterways since Hurricane Katrina and began thinking up stories about a detective living in post-Katrina New Orleans, which I now write in my spare time.
My life is divided between working on the water and preserving a Victorian-era home in Hannibal, Missouri that I share with my wife and our rescue pets, which include a n

I have a very detailed chapter-by-chapter synopsis when I sit down to begin writing, but what I find I have written may or may not follow it. I have learned to remain open to where my characters want to lead me, and so I very seldom run into writer's block caused by own determination to stick to the synopsis.
The few times I have been stumped, though, I have re-read the entire synopsis and then begin editing the last couple of chapters I wrote before I became stumped. Usually this will show me what my mental block is and present a means of getting around it. I always remember that I will be doing multiple edits to whatever I write, so just getting something on paper is all I have to do until the blockage falls away. I usually find what the problem in the story was once I have good material written on either side of the rough spot.(less)

Shell Game by H. Max Hiller
"love this series!

Detective Holland is like a modern day Colombo! Love his ‘don’t tell me I can’t do it’ attitude. I’m thinking John Hamm playing him in a Netflix series?! "
Shell Game by H. Max Hiller
"Shell Game again pulls you into the flare and sparkle of New Orleans as well as its Katrina-ravaged dark underbelly, which creates the perfect backdrop to the continuation of this riveting series. The almost nonstop, gritty action and peril pull you " Read more of this review »
