In the SCA, I am published in SCA collections under three names. The first was my starting name (Brenna of Lyonsbane). The other two are the names I had passed by the heralds: Maille inghean Bhrain Cadal and Brenna "la poetessa" dei Leoni. I have also won or finaled in SCA contests with those names.
Mundanely, I have three pen names (one for most of my work, one for children's/YA specifically, and one for political writing). My primary pen name is Brenna Lyons, and I write a whole range of genres in it: science fiction, fantasy, horror...all straight genre and romance or erotic romance mixed...a bit of contemporary, historical, erotica, poetry, articles... While I have a few works that are PG-safe, most of my work is intended for adults. Milieu-heavy dark work is practically my calling card, though I write the occasional romp. Fallen Angels reviews called me "one of the most deviant erotic minds in publishing today."
I am a prolific author. I write in 21 series worlds plus stand-alones for 6 publishers (today). My high water mark for publishers is 7. Since early 2003, I have been published more than 85 times in fiction writing alone, and I currently have a dozen novels for sale and a few more OOP and looking for a new publisher.
In the last seven years, I have won two of EPIC's eBook Awards (and finaled for eleven of the coveted awards) and have taken Spinetingler's (UK) Book of the Year. In addition, I've finaled for three PEARLS (taking Honorable Mention with one, second to NY Times Bestseller Angela Knight), two CAPAs, and a DREAM REALM AWARD. A full list of my awards can be found on my site.
I'm the Administrative Assistant at Silver Publishing. At one point in my life, I was EIC of Mundania Press. And I'm a long-standing member of EPIC (Electronically Published Internet Connection)...three time president of the organization. I'm also a plank member of several anti-piracy groups, AWaY (Authors Without a Yacht...a piracy education group), and a member of BroadUniverse, IWOFA (Infinite Worlds of Fantasy Authors), ERWA (Erotic Readers and Writers Association), Mike's Writing Workshop, The Writers Salon, Copyright Alliance, and more than 70 author craft and support groups online.
