Biography

Cameron A Malin (he/him) was born in 1978 in London. Taking to reading early in life, he demonstrated a love of creative writing at primary school, and continued to enjoy writing short stories throughout secondary education, where fiction assignments were the only homework he ever handed in on time.

While pursuing a career in professional audio and broadcasting, Cameron would still delight in putting together concepts for original works of fiction, including pitches for radio, television, theatre and audiobooks, without the intention (or the budget) to produce them. He has also maintained a passionate interest in immersive text-based computer games.

Alongside these creative endeavours were several abortive attempts to turn ideas for novels into actual written manuscripts. Now in his 40s, Cameron is working on his debut novel, Ellamir, a thematic crossover of the Regency romances of Jane Austen, the historical fiction of Patrick O’Brian, and the epic High Fantasy worlds of J. R. R. Tolkien and Dungeons & Dragons.

He is also a practising lounge pianist and semi-professional bartender, and enjoys proper pubs, St Emilion and Chianti, long-distance drives, and going to sea in traditional working and pleasure boats.
