After writing two YA novels that didn\u2019t find a publisher, Brynn tried her hand at adult fiction and, writing from her then-home in South America, penned a gender-flipped three musketeers story based in 1809 Brazil when the Portuguese royal court fled Napoleon\u2019s army and relocated to Rio. It\u2019s filled with sword fights, diamond smuggling, court intrigue, and best of all, female friendships as three women work to exonerate their friend who\u2019s been accused of murder. So even though Brynn grew up equating writers with rock stars, she\u2019s become one and is already on sub for book two. Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, Brynn Barineau has a master\u2019s in international communication from American University and background in international education. After college, she moved to her husband\u2019s native Rio de Janeiro with too many sweaters and not enough Portuguese. Brynn began writing as a way to process life in a new country. Her fiction is rooted in the power and possibilities of relationships across cultures. She\u2019s now back in Atlanta rediscovering her hometown with her Brazilian-American family.  Jaguars and Other Game is her debut novel. Kirkus Review called it an \u201caddictive tale with drama, history and delightful protagonists,\u201d and national best-selling author Lynn Cullen raved \u201cthis atmospheric debut had me turning the pages to cheer on the clever trio.\u201d Jaguars and Other Game was a finalist in the National Indie Excellence Awards in multicultural fiction.  To learn more about Brynn, click here.     ","author_name":"Hear us Roar","author_url":"https:\/\/maggiesmithwriter.com\/podcast\/","html":"
