Maxwell, a Tony Award-winning producer, director and 35-year veteran of the entertainment industry has a new novel, Little Did I Know. The book, set in Plymouth, Massachusetts, is a wild, sexy romp of surprise, a boundlessly entertaining story that proves the only option in pursuing a life of meaning and consequence is to follow your heart.  

In Little Did I Know Samuel August dreams of producing bigger-than-life musicals in the grand tradition of summer stock. It is the summer of 1976, an endless party for America’s two-hundredth birthday is in full swing with young men and women recklessly coming of age under star-studded skies lit by orange neon moons.  Sam has just one summer to learn how to grow into the theatrical producer he aspires to be.
