Malcolm Mackley
Malcolm Mackley studied Physics at Leicester and Bristol Universities, then later moved to the Department of Chemical Engineering at Cambridge University where he devoted thirty years to teaching and research. He lectured on his specialist subjects throughout the world as a Fellow of Robinson College, a Professor of Process Innovation and a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering. In 2011 he left Cambridge and moved with his wife Margaret, to Salcombe in Devon where they experienced first hand the very exciting and different challenges of living in an iconic estuary town.
In 2023 Malcolm published a fiction book Daymouth and in late 2026 a further fiction story Super Salcombe in October 2026. I am currently writing Sensational Salcombe and that will complete my trilogy of Salcombe based books.

I hope those of you that have read Daymouth (Which is really Salcombe!) have enjoyed the read. The book is selling well in the Salcombe area and the most common response I have had is that, 'Daymouth is a great page turner'.
Encouraged by the support from friends and readers, I have now completed 'Super Salcombe'. This fiction book is very much more ambitious than Daymouth. Some of the characters, such as Adam Ranworth are carried over and others are new. The main location of the action is 'Headland House' near Salcombe, a fictious farming estate that has three business units.
Super Salcombe is set in 2025 and current global events are drawn into what I hope will be a 'super page turner' where Salcombe inventions and events, really do have potential to change the rest of the world.
I am currently writing Sensational Salcombe, which is the final book in my trilogy centered around Salcombe. Sensational Salcombe builds on the previous two and takes the reader on an incredible journey for the South Devon peninsula, the country, and the rest of the world!
