ICE, WIND AND FIRE Mel Keegan comments on ICE, WIND AND FIRE ICE seems, in retrospect, to be something of a departure from the usual Keegan book ... the story is strong, of course, but it's a lot "raunchier" than the norm! In fact, someone who posted a review to the Amazon.com page got it dead right: "Not even James Bond has this much sex," s/he said. This is completely accurate! Remember, ICE was the first novel I'd managed to place with a gay publisher — and one should never underestimate the difficulties involved in trying to get a contract with any publisher! In fact, ICE was an "attention getter." It was much more sensual, (also "loud and obnoxious" in places) ... but it did indeed grab attention, where more subtle pieces had been languishing in limbo for some time already. With this one out of the way the rest could follow on — which is not to say there's anything amiss with sensual stories! I've written reams of them in the past, and expect to write more. But I confess that I'd like to stay on "this side" of the line and not cross over into the purely "adult fiction" category, if only because my novels are a world more difficult to craft than the majority of adult books. To put it another way, I want to appeal to a wider readership, and I'm keenly aware that a percentage of readers can be troubled by narrative that crosses the line. My usual stuff is no more "adult" than Harold Robbins ... but it would be fair to say that ICE is quite a sizzler ... with good reason!
