Malcolm was born. After this momentous event, he grew up (matter of opinion). In the intervening years spent in the UK he was educated, worked, and eventually left to live in Ireland. He did this to be with his wife, who's Irish, as it's a bit weird if a married couple live in separate countries. If you insist on knowing more about him: whilst in the UK he worked with jewellery for several years, spent some time in the license trade, and for fun was a medieval re-enactor. In Ireland he worked in the film and TV industry as an actor and an extra, and can be seen in over twenty productions. He even has a (very small) page on the Oscars website! Seriously! Apart from that, he likes writing. A lot. He says the act of writing delivers him up as a willing adventurer to worlds and events undreamed of, eager and breathless with anticipation because he simply doesn't know who's waiting there, what wonders they'll show him or what they'll have to say. Something like that. He writes fiction, both young adult and literary fantasy. Nobody's published his work yet, until now.
