About Mel Keegan...
Mel Keegan's first novel, ICE, WIND AND FIRE, appeared with GMP in 1990. In the following years many other novels have appeared, including the sci-fi thrillers, DEATH'S HEAD and EQUINOX, which have become cult classics.
At this time there are 25 Keegan novels, with 19 in-print and the last due for 2008/09 reprints with DreamCraft; and Mel is working on two series (HELLGATE and NARC) in addition to finishing a raft of stand-alone novels.
The first of these, THE DECEIVERS, NOCTURNE and THE SWORDSMAN, have already appeared on the DreamCraft label, and the next stand-alones, THE LORDS OF HARBINDANE and FALCONHURST, are either in pre-press or close to it.
For almost a decade the Keegan novels were issued by GMP (the Gay Men's Press), but after the merger with Prowler and Millivres, GMP became more or less 'dormant,' selling only old titles, and apparently publishing only those novels which had been in pre-press at the time of the merger.
Mel's fifteen-year association with GMP has completely wound down: only a few the early novels are still available from the old GMP website and the new Millivres-Prowler Group website.
But Mel had no intention of retiring as a writer, and before contractual matters had finally been settled with GMP/MPG, talks had already begun with local South Australian studio, DreamCraft.
The name of 'Mel Keegan' has become
synonymous with fast-paced action/adventure thrillers with pivotal gay characters and themes.
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.

About DreamCraft...
DreamCraft was born in 1996 as a multimedia studio, producing CD-Rom, software, art and photography, enter- and edutainment. Twelve years later, we’re working in the new and innovative digital field of ‘POD publishing.’
‘POD’ is an acronym standing for ‘print on demand.’ With the recent upsurgence in desktop technology, it's now very
accurate to say that when a copy is ordered, it's printed. And POD publishing is tipped to turn the whole publishing world around in the near future.
POD Books are developed digitally and laser-printed at the very highest quality, on quality cream-colored ‘bond’ papers, so the quality is superb throughout. High-gloss covers are printed in full color, and the perfect bound (glued spine) books are ‘trade size,’ measuring 6" x 9".
The hardcovers are especially beautiful, with sturdy, glossy dustjackets. All the Mel Keegan books are now produced by Lulu.com, but they're still written and published in Australia.
We're currently very excited about our move into eBooks. You can now get every Mel Keegan title, formatted for virtually any machine, desk- lap- or palmtop.
If eBooks are the answer to your prayer (are you reading on the train, on the way to work? In your lunch break, in the staff lounge or the park?!) then you're in good company these days — and (at last!) we have you covered.
Since Mel Keegan joined DreamCraft we’ve published more than a dozen new titles and several reprints ... and there’s plenty more to come!
We now have over 200 megs online at www.melkeegan.com ... and we're also starting to work with some new and exciting GLBTI writers.
