Stories elevate. They transpose us to the heavens and set us to explore the infinite by which our minds expand even that. Welcome to Myths & Fables, a literary magazine by which I hope to inspire you through stories wrought by my imagination.
I am an educator and write primarily during the dawn of our day. My life experience from being adopted and living through the Foster Care System has inspired my work to touch on themes of identity, home, religious trauma, and the systems of power that influence our lives.
I have self-published four books under M.A.D. Productions: The Maiden’s Journey, The Scattered War, and Unfinished Tales, The Time of Shrouds as well as five tabletop roleplaying games all under the big "title" BEYOND: The Obsidian Veil, Masters of the Aether, Annals of the Aarakav, The Light, The Stars.
I hope my stories inspire dialogue.
Cheers,
- Maxwell A. Durbin-Tan
