Mel Keegan


Website

Genre


A self-confessed science fiction and fantasy devotee, Keegan is known for novels across a wide range of subjects, from the historical to the future action-adventure. Mel lives in South Australia with an eccentric family and a variety of pets.

Every Mel Keegan book is strong on gay or bisexual heroes (also, often, on gay villains), and some of these heroes are the most delicious in fiction: Jarrat and Stone from the NARC series, Bill Ryan and Jim Hale from The Deceivers, Neil Travers and Curtis Marin from Hellgate, and many more unforgettable characters. Because Mel's books feature the same sex relationships, the partnership at the core of each book is integral: this is the relationship driving the story, and it can be very powerful indeed.

“In the midst of the battle between rebellion and surrender Bantry was suddenly uncertain what Flynn was starved for. The sensuality of a man’s kiss? Or the rich, iron taste of blood?”
Mel Keegan, Nocturne

“One day, Ryan thought bitterly as he watched the inbound steamer come lumbering up the Clyde as if it had declared war upon the ocean — one day the sky would be black with smoke and the sea just a constant din of engines. Gone forever would be the pavane of man, sail and wind, the elegant, pagan dance of wood and water, sweat and sinew. That day, Ryan would mourn.”
Mel Keegan, The Deceivers

“I’m in no doubts.” Jim seemed to mock himself with a rueful grin, and pushed up to his feet. “If we’re going out, I’d best organize some clothes.” Ryan looked him up and down with sultry eyes, half-naked as he was. “Don’t dress on my account.”                 “On yours? No. But I think we may get thrown out of the best restaurant in Scarborough if I don’t put something on.” Jim winked at him, teasing, beguiling, and stepped out of the room.”
Mel Keegan, The Deceivers
