    Michael Egan lives in the Paddington suburb of Sydney with his wife and a small menagerie of animals. He produced and directed the independent Australian romantic comedy Love in the First Degree. The film played many film festivals around the world, including Worldfest-Houston, where it won a Gold Remi. The Brisbane Courier-Mail called it "a welcome change for moviegoers tired of depressing drug dramas set in grimy parts of Sydney," and ABC-TV's At the Movies said it's "a film that deserves enormous kudos." He has also written and directed a number of short films, including the award-winning short The Gift, which played at several international festivals (Palms Springs, Uppsala, London), and Not Quite Tarantino (Sitges). In 2019 he published his first novel, The Devil’s Detour. His feature film script, The Chef And The Critic, was a 2022 Roadmap Writers Greenlights Challenge finalist. Heartless Bastards is his second novel.
