Over the years he has had varied experiences as actor and stage manager in Summer Stock, founder of Henry S. Maxfield Real Estate, presently owned and operated by his son, and a retail gift business. Maxfield is the author of two published novels Another Spring and Legacy of a Spy. Married for 61 years with a son, a daughter and four grandchildren, he has completed six as yet unpublished novels?a body of work reflecting the times is which they were written.As a writer his first obligation is to entertain?always to tell a story about interesting characters and always about something. The genre of his stories varies with the subject and include To the Survivors an authentic anti-war novel of the bombing of Europe?about people?not heroes. And Justice Justice a novel?a satire?that shows the how and where our justice system has failed. The Morland Syndrome is about a man who cannot survive in a society he deems insane and a Psychiatrist determined to bring him back?and there is more.For more about the author, his autobiography and the first chapter of Another Spring plus an article for published and unpublished writers, the history of the submission of this novel that took more than twenty-five years to find a publisher only to be told that the book would not be promoted. This paperback edition is the first. I sold the hardback editions I purchased years ago retail price $6.50 for $25.00 and could have sold them all.
