Maynard gained public and literary attention for his depiction of adolescent life in a rural mining town in his first novel, Crum, and received a Literary Fellowship in Fiction from the National Endowment for the Arts to complete its sequel, Screaming with the Cannibals.An avid outdoorsman and conservationist, Maynard is a mountaineer, sea kayaker, skier, and former professional river runner. Currently, Maynard serves as President and CEO of The Storehouse, an independently funded, nonprofit food pantry in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He received the 2008 Turquoise Chalice Award to honor his dedication to this organization. Table of Contents ?Foreword ?Part I ? West Virginia ? Black Hawk Ridge ?Part II ? Kentucky ?

Bleeding on the Sand Review "[Maynard] once again succeeds in delivering a devastatingly, soul-searching, scabrous and very funny literary experience."Michael Shannon Friedman, The Charleston Gazette"Between the first and last pages of Screaming with the Cannibals are characters so real you can see them bleed, smell their sweat, hear their cries of libido-provoked frustration, wallow with them in the darkness of their spirits and -- God help us all -- laugh when they die the most horrible deaths."Dave Peyton, Charleston Daily Mail Review Quote "[Maynard] once again succeeds in delivering a devastatingly, soul-searching, scabrous and very funny literary experience."
