A born and bred Geordie, Malcolm eventually moved to London where he worked his way through a host of advertising agencies picking up numerous awards for television cinema and radio.

He became the Creative Director of Comic Relief, but writing stories was his great love and so, inspired by his time working at the charity, he began penning his first novel  Me Mam. Me Dad. Me.  Malcolm is now scribbling away at his fourth novel for Zephyr.
