Max Kubisiak
Born in Fargo and raised in Montana, the American West is in Max’s blood, though he has a healthy skepticism toward its founding myths. Growing up in a mixed-race white/indigenous family in a liberal town in a conservative state, Max is equal parts sensitivity and cynicism. He loves and writes stories about characters facing overwhelming odds, especially in Westerns.
