Overview

The Breeding (2025, formerly The Gorge) follows the migratory Cliff Dwellers, whose survival hinges on a sacred ritual: the ""Breeding of the Virgins."" Young women are offered to elders, told it is their duty. When Maxtla is chosen, she expects honor but finds exploitation. Her resistance challenges the sanctified lies underpinning their culture. A visceral study of power and obedience for readers of Atwood and Butler, The Breeding warns that traditions can hide violence.

Author Information

What many call careers, Joe Zeigler calls interests. Beginning as a firefighter in Williamsburg, Virginia, Zeigler left to earn a degree in fire protection from Oklahoma State University, picking up a BA in business along the way Taking a job as a fire protection engineer with Kemper Insurance somehow led to a ten-year stint as a professional motorcycle racer In 1981, Zeigler founded the Penguin Road Racing School and wrote How to Fly, a how-to manual for motorcycle racers. Intrigued by the developing world of personal computers, he retired from racing to become a consultant for Digital Equipment Corporation Zeigler launched six computer stores and the nation's first computer discount warehouse-only to lose them at the hands of an arsonist. He rebounded to write FirePrograms, a software package for fire departments and the world's first low-priced UPS shipping manifest software. He sold both businesses to focus on his writing.
