My Story
My name is Malcolm McDowell Woods. I am an editor and journalist, a communications professional and a university lecturer. Scottish by birth and Northern Irish by ancestry, I am now an American citizen and reside in Wisconsin with my partner, Nicki, and our dogs, Neville and Molly. My two adult children live nearby.
I have written for a variety of periodicals in the US and Europe. I am co-author of the book, "Irish Wit and Wisdom" and the unpublished "Guide to the Ice Age Trail." I have worked as a newspaper and magazine editor and cofounded several publications. I was co-founder and managing editor of the monthly Irish American Post magazine. I have authored numerous short stories and received national honors for editorial writing and page design as well as the Milwaukee County Individual Arts Fellowship for Fiction Writing. "What the Tide Leaves Behind" is my first novel.
