Sally Malcolm was bitten by the m/m romance bug in 2016 and hasn’t looked back. It’s fair to say she’s obsessed with the genre. She has four contemporary m/m romances out, set in the fictional Long Island seaside town of New Milton.

She's also the author of eight Stargate novels and novellas, including the hit "Apocalypse" trilogy. She has penned four Stargate audio dramas for Big Finish Productions, including Stargate SG-1: "An Eye for an Eye" starring Michael Shanks, Claudia Black, and Cliff Simon.

Sally lives in South West London.

Popular Answered Questions

Why ruin Love Around the Corner by including a gratuitous insulting comment about being a Republican? It was ignorant--Leo would have been more likely, as a small business owner, to be concerned that his pen pal was a Democrat. Food for thought. Also, *not* all U.S. romance readers are Democrats. Do authors not get that readers come in many flavors? Maybe think on that next time before you go there.

Sally Malcolm Hi, thanks for your question.

I’m sorry that you were offended by what was intended to be a humorous line.

I’m sorry that you were offended by what was intended to be a humorous line.

For my part, the line was a character choice for Leo with the purpose of illustrating his character, rather than an authorial statement about Republicans. At the start of the story, Leo is very judgemental. It’s his big character flaw and it leads to the central problem of the book—that he’s already rejected Alfie in real life because he thinks he’s a ‘dumb mechanic’. So it makes sense to me that he would make sweeping statements about Republicans in the same way he holds sweeping opinions about mechanics. To put it bluntly, Leo is a snob. The story is about how his prejudices are challenged.

I think a great deal about what I write and how my characters behave. Leo is a highly educated young gay man from New York, heavily into literature and the arts, and I see him as naturally left-leaning. His passion is books, not business—he’d always intended to leave the commercial side of the shop to his (now ex) partner, after all. I also believe it’s very likely that Alfie, a blue-collar guy running a small family business, might lean to the right. In which case, Leo would have to learn to nuance his opinions of Republicans in the same way he learned to nuance his opinion of mechanics. If he’s learned his lesson, that shouldn’t be a problem. :)

I just finished reading BTL. Please tell me there will be more New Milton books? Given what's happening to the hotel I think it would be the perfect setting for more stories. You are a new to me author but I loved both PD and BTL very much.

Sally Malcolm Hi! Thanks for your message, and for your lovely review which I read this morning. :)

I hope there will be more New Milton books next year. I'm pitchin…moreHi! Thanks for your message, and for your lovely review which I read this morning. :)

I hope there will be more New Milton books next year. I'm pitching some ideas to Carina right now so fingers crossed. In the meantime, I've recently self-published a Christmas New Milton novella called 'Love Around the Corner', which is set between Perfect Day and Between the Lines. (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...).

It's only available on Amazon for now but if you'd like a review copy I'd be delighted to send you one (mobi or epub). Just let me know your email address and I'll send it on over. I loved writing LAtC so I hope you'll enjoy it too!

Thanks again for your reviews of PD and BTL and for supporting my books. I really appreciate it!(less)

I’ve just got back from a couple of weeks in North Devon, one of my favourite places in the world. Spectacular clifftop paths, wide sandy beaches, excellent surf, piping hot pasties—you just can’t beat it for an English summer holiday. It’s also the inspiration for the setting of Perfect Day.
Which got me thinking about some of the many m/m romances set around the coast of South West England. Read more of this blog post »

“The thought of squeezing back into his stifling pre-war life stopped his breath in panic. In truth, the only time he breathed easily was with Harry, whom he loved with that same red raw ferocity — and whom he’d love with passion given the chance. But he wouldn’t get that chance. The world forbade it.”

“Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself.”
