Biography

About the author…
Taryn Maxximillian Dafoe known for her well told stories, new world organization concepts and unforgettable characters, was born on February 7th in Hollywood, California, USA. She is well known as a highly desirable and valuable collaborator in screenwriting, monetizable content creation and music, appreciated as an actress, singer, dramatist, and YouTube personality, and partner/creator.

She started writing screenplays as a hobby birthed from her exposure to them as an actress auditioning for network television, independent features and studio films. Recognizing the inherent ability of the screenplay format to convey a story in a manner which used not only visual images, but the magic of sound to incite the emotions of an audience beyond their casual capability inspired her to make screenwriting her most favored medium.

A feature film is in development, as is a character-driven one hour drama with the backdrop of present-day Los Angeles. Waiting in the wings is her desire to write and direct a stage play she’s conceived. Ambitious desire for social acknowledgment, the rise of economic awareness, emotional transcendence and revenge are recurring themes.

Taryn Maxximillian Dafoe, known simply as “Maxximillian”, is a well reputed songwriter, lyricist and creative collaborator. She writes every day and maintains a high level of engagement on social media.

Smashwords Interview

When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
When I’m not writing, I’m reading and listening to audiobooks. Namely, Robert Galbraith and Stephen King. But I’ve gone through all of the more recent works now, and so I’m looking at Ayn Rand, and trying to decide which—if any—of her novels appeals to me. I often peruse youtube for old recordings of lectures on existential topics, which I find interesting—like The Seth Material. I listen to Abraham-Hicks. I go for walks.
What are you working on next?
Next up is a book called Mollyville: State of Shock. It’s not a short story, but the characters readers already met in Mollyville: Humble Beginnings (which was a book of short stories) all live in Mollyville and so appear in the novel as major characters in the story, and minor characters in each other’s lives.

Some people who have read Mollyville: Humble Beginnings say they like it and wish they could live out the rest of their years there. Others say they’re not so sure that it’s a place they’d like to stay. It’s all about your perspective whether something is desirable or not.

For example, somebody who needs to feel like he’s the man will not, as a rule, choose an intelligent counterpart for any relationship: business or personal. Any intellectual challenge, whether it’s a question or just a thoughtful answer, is perceived as a threat to someone like that. So, from his perspective, someone very intelligent wouldn’t be an ideal partner—even though a high level of intelligence is socially what we all agree is a desirable character trait. That I-need-to-feel-like-the-man guy’s nightmare is everybody else’s dream date.

Mollyville is a dystopian future, or our utopian future—depending upon your perspective. Mollyville has unusual politics. It’s futuristic but many of the lifestyle comforts we enjoy today are useless because life has changed. The attitudes of residents in Mollyville reflect a refreshing attitude toward the problems of life; people deal with shame and poverty and pride differently.
