Maxwell J Smith has been an avid reader since he was a child. As a teenager and young adult, he wrote copious amounts of poetry and short stories that can still be found drifting around the internet. 

In 2024, he took the plunge and began to draft his first novel, Bone Chills, and finally achieve his dreams of becoming an author. 

Maxwell has a loving husband, three amazing children, three cats, and one dog. He still holds out hope for one day having a farm.

Maxwell is mostly know for his content on social media (@ledpaintsoup) as a trans dad. One of his biggest goals is normalizing trans existence.
