He began working as a scenarist for silent films in 1912 (reportedly at his wife's insistence).[1] In 1918, he published "The Planeteer" in All-Story Weekly. His "Dr. Kinney" stories were reprinted by Ace Books in 1965, and with Austin Hall he co-wrote the novel The Blind Spot.

He died in 1924 under mysterious circumstances, his body found at the bottom of a canyon underneath a stolen taxi. [2]

His son was Max Hugh Flindt (1915–2004), the co-founder of The Ancient Astronaut Society. With Otto Binder, he co-authored Mankind – Child of the Stars in 1974. He also had a daughter, Bonnie Palmer.[3]
