Maxine Rivers (Max, they/them) is the author of spicy fantasy romance featuring queer characters. They live in the Midwest with their husband, two kids, and a beagle who considers herself a master explorer. When not getting off on--I mean lost in smutty books, Max can be found painting anatomical structures, bingeing The Vampire Diaries, or watching the sunset with an overstuffed pipe in hand. You can find them on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok at @AuthorMaxineRivers.
