Max Pierce

Max Pierce's debut novel is The Master of Seacliff (Harrington Park Press), a Gothic mystery. As a journalist, his writings on Hollywood history and gay life have appeared in such diverse publications as Classic Images and online for The Advocate. Max explored the complicated relationship with his mother as part of the anthology Walking Higher: Gay Men Write About the Deaths of Their Mothers (Renault Publishing, 2004). He also leads a GLBT writing group in West Hollywood. Annoyingly optimistic about his future, Max really does not like to revisit his childhood, unless paid to do so.
