Who is Max Reily

Max Reily (with just one "L") is the online name of Maxine Davis.  I'm a retired nurse living in Ohio.

The name was arrived at in a roundabout way, when I had to make up a user name for a site, and everything I tried was taken. Finally, I teamed up my first name (which I usually shorten to Max) and the nickname of my guy, which is "Reilly", as in Reilly, Ace of Spies. (nothing like his real name, at all). But, alas, Max Reilly was also taken. That's when I became Max Reily. The name has served me well--somehow it's never been in use anywhere I've signed up since.

So, who is this person called Max Reily....

Now that I'm not working, you'd think I could do whatever I want, right?  Well, not exactly.

During summer vacation, I babysit for my school-age granddaughter Monday through Friday, which cuts into my writing time somewhat. Fortunately, I've always been a night-owl, so I do a lot of writing between 10 pm and the wee hours.

So far, most of my online writing is on Squidoo, where I have 33 "lenses" published and am currently working on more. I'm also on Redgage, where I have some photos, and a few blog pages, Amplify, and now Wizzley. I have a website-in-progress, and am working on a new Zazzle store.

I write about a variety of topics--main interests are English History, my hometown, places I've traveled, books, poetry. I love learning--about anything, but especially history, English literature, linguistics and poetry. I'm curious about spirituality, self awareness, and the concept of time travel, and passionate about animals and their welfare.
