Hometown:

Newcastle upon Tyne, England

About Me:

I am the creator of Slinger, the Spencer family and other assorted villains. There will be a series of interlinked crime fiction short stories based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The first story, 'Drum and Waste', can be read here... http://a-twist-of-noir.blogspot.com/search/label/Malcolm%20Holt
The second story, 'Graduation Day', will appear shortly.
I did write a crime fiction novel, 'In The Nick of Tyne', under the name of Chris Malcolm, many years ago, but very few copies have survived and these are now collectors items...if you can find one.
I was made an honorary Texan by Kinky Friedman some years ago and I still visit the Lone Star State from time to time.
