“I finished the book last night. NO. WAY. That ending. I cant take it. And I’ll never be able to trust local news anymore either. It was really, really good but in a dark way. Which makes sense its conveying a dark message. But to end with the so far only dynamic character the sterling, shining everyman Luke Britt finally getting a clue was masterful & really makes me want to read the next one.”

-Kerri A., ARC Paperback reader

“The Floridian Candidate is one of the most engaging and intelligent reads I’ve come across in a long time. With a razor-sharp mix of political satire, tension, and dark wit, it delivers a story that feels uncannily in step with current events—like fiction colliding with reality in the most compelling way.”

-Wes L., Amazon reader

This book totally caught me off guard—in the best way! The Floridian Candidate takes political chaos and turns it into something darkly hilarious, yet also incredibly insightful.

It’s not your typical political novel, and that’s what makes it so good. It kept my attention beginning to end, which is rare for my adhd brain. Also, that cliffhanger at the end!! I CAN'T WAIT for the 2nd book to come out!

I absolutely recommend this book to anyone into clever storytelling with a sharp edge.

As the editor of The Floridian Candidate, I’ve had the distinct pleasure of watching this remarkable political thriller come to life.

From the very first draft, it was clear this book would be something special—a brilliantly conceived and masterfully executed tale that hits all the right notes of suspense, satire, and storytelling. Maxwell perfectly weaves characters, culture, and timing, making it impossible to put down. The dialogue crackles with wit, and the characters are rich and humorous, even when their motives are chilling.

What sets The Floridian Candidate apart is its seamless blend of sharp humor and boundary-testing intrigue. This novel doesn’t just entertain—it challenges, provokes, and leaves a lasting impression. It’s a uniquely incisive book, delivering a thrilling narrative that doesn’t shy away from the absurdities of power and, ultimately, providing a commentary on our times.

Working on this project has been an absolute delight, and I cannot recommend The Floridian Candidate highly enough. It’s a must-read for anyone who craves thrillers with intelligence, edge, and an undercurrent of darkly comedic brilliance.
