edit data

Malcolm McLean was born in Surrey in 1983, sandwiched between an older and younger sister. He has had an intense lifelong love of music which, as a teenager, provided him with an escape from reality and led to years of obsessively following some of the biggest names in pop music.

When not writing, Malcolm works in university administration. He loves Eurovision, long country walks and reading books about the struggles of modern life. He lives in South East London with his long-suffering architect partner Matt.
