Rites of Mating
by Brenna Lyons

The Keen people are in an uproar. Fourteen re-bred royal children are coming of age. First up are Jole and Susan's twins, Jenneane and Joseph.

When one of Jenneane's suitors goes too far, Captain Tirin vows to protect her, even from himself. That is easier said than done. Jenneane is a Keen female at the height of her sexual drive, and Tirin will stop at nothing to claim her as his MAIDEN BRIDE.

Joseph has loved Berel since they were children. He's waited three years for her to reach adulthood. The only way to win her hand is to trick her into giving him a TRIAL MOON.

Brenna Lyons' Bio

Brenna Lyons lives in Haverhill, MA with her husband, three children, and a zoo of pets.

She is a poet and novelist who has a poem on the cover of the upcoming Treble Heart release of Full Moon Inheritance by Jacqueline Elliott and eight completed novels currently on submission and seeking homes with four separate publishing houses.

Brenna enjoys the Society for Creative Anachronism and is a member of such groups as Broad Universe and RWU.

Brenna holds a BS in Accounting and a Certificate of Computer Programming. Why? An auditing teacher commented that she would either "make the perfect auditor or the perfect thief," and she had been writing for eleven years with little professional training...in effect, a thief of attention by misdirection.

In the years since that fateful day, she has worked as an accountant and auditor, in a convenience store, as a stock clerk and on a cash register, as a tutor, in child care, and as a writer...always as a writer.
