Malkam is an aspiring author living in southwest Michigan, brewing beer by day and writing novels by night. Born and raised in Kalamazoo, Malkam is proud to be a Child of Deaf Adults (CODA), whose parents worked hard to put him through college, so he could become a graduate of Western Michigan University with a Bachelor in Fine Arts, and an emphasis in creative writing and poetry.

After joining the beverage industry in 2010, Malkam learned the craft of brewing beer, and currently works as the Head Brewer of Round Barn Brewery and Public House, in Baroda, MI. His abiding interest in culinary and brewing history has allowed him to explore modern trends, traditional styles, historical techniques, and ancient ales, which have inspired his revolving list of projects in the brewery.

Malkam has also been a dedicated student of martial arts, and has studied Taiji and Kung Fu for twenty years under the tutelage of Grandmaster George Hu, who has carried on, and improved upon the work of an esteemed lineage of teachers. The philosophy of these arts is very inspirational, and his experience growing up in a martial arts culture has greatly influenced Malkam’s work on the Saga of the Laymonk.

In his travels, Malkam has been lucky enough to visit many historic and natural landmarks, and he has a deep love of museums and fine art. Malkam is an avid reader of literature and poetry, and has been participating in storytelling and performance art with Indigan Storyteller Workshops since 2013.

Malkam currently lives in southwest Michigan, with his lovely wife and son, their three dogs, a snake, and a cat that is secretly an immortal witch in disguise.

Summary: Stories for Chip brings together outstanding authors inspired by a brilliant writer and critic, Science Fiction Writers of America Grandmaster Samuel R. “Chip” Delany. Award-winning SF luminaries such as Michael Swanwick, Nalo Hopkinson, and Eileen Gunn contribute original fiction and creative nonfiction. From surrealistic visions of bucolic road trips to erotic transgressions to mind-expanding analyses of Delany’s influence on the genre—as an out gay man, an African American, and possessor of a startlingly acute intellect—this book conveys the scope of the subject’s sometimes troubling, always rewarding genius. Editors Nisi Shawl and Bill Campbell have given Delany and the world at large, a gorgeous, haunting, illuminating, and deeply satisfying gift of a book. Nisi Shawl is a writer whose work has been published at Strange Horizons, in Asimov’s SF Magazine, and in anthologies including Dark Faith 2, Dark Matter, The Moment of Change, and The Other Half of the Sky. Her story collection, Filter House, was one of two winners of the 2009 James Tiptree Jr. Award. She is a cofounder of the Carl Brandon Society and serves on the Board of Directors of the Clarion West Writers Workshop. She lives in Seattle.
