S1 E1 The Three-Legged Elephant Publishing Co
Originally from Denver Colorado, Malcolm has lived on both coasts. He loves motorcycles, cars, pretty much anything with an engine and wheels. He is a semi-retired class A welder/mechanic. Tired of working for others and being a natural born hands-on person, he opened a car repair service in Colorado that ventured went well and paid bills until he got tired of hiding dirty finger nails every time he was away from the shop. Until he discovered writing, his favorite thing to do was to fix, repair and tinker with any kind of mechanical gadget. He has built several high-performance motorcycles and restored classic cars, then one day he woke up and said "I’m going to reinvent myself". Malcom took some time off and wrote his first published novel, sold everything and moved to California. Soon after he moved across the nation and published his second novel and his first children’s book.
While launching The Three-Legged Elephant Publishing Co., Malcolm joined the Screen Actors Guild as an actor and was honored with a nomination in the Best Supporting Role category at the Softies Short Film Awards. He is in the process of filming his first movie based on his book "One Way In No Way Out".
