Writing Tips: Dealing With Runaway Characters

By Cynthia Sax on March 30, 2018

There’s no ‘right’ way to write.
We do what works for us.

The folks at Coffee Time Romance know this.
They have a new feature where they ask help with a common writing problem and then a variety of writers give advice.

This week, we’re giving advice about runaway characters.

Here’s a snippet from my answer…
“This is what I want as a writer – to have characters come alive, drive their own actions, take over the story. I’m a character-driven panster (A pantser is someone who writes by the seat of her pants, having no fixed plot. Character-driven means I allow characters to lead when writing.). Much of my early writing in a story is wandering in the wilderness, waiting for my characters to form their own personalities and make decisions.

Here is a link to my full answer…

Taking Vengeance Cyborg Romance


Taking Vengeance

The only force stronger than their hate is their love.

Vengeance hates all humans. They killed every being he ever cared about. When the huge C Model cyborg is told he’s genetically compatible with the enemy, he makes it his mission to capture the female and use her to expel all humans from his home planet. That should be disappointingly easy. She’s a weak, fragile human.

Then she blows up his ship, blasting to bits his preconceived notions about the enemy.

Astrid, aka the Buoir Berserker, hates all cyborgs. They killed her entire clan, including her baby sister. The warrior female has vowed to hunt down and destroy the enemy. When a savage cyborg arrogantly puts his hard, sexy body within her reach, she does the only thing a female can do—she peppers his muscular physique with projectiles.

The more passionately they fight, the stronger their attraction becomes. Neither of them will relent on their missions, yet they can’t keep their hands off each other. Their battle will either end in love to last an eternity or in death.

Taking Vengeance is Book 12 in the Cyborg Sizzle series and is a STAND-ALONE story.
It is also an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, often violent universe.

Taking Vengeance – Second Scene Of The First Chapter

By Cynthia Sax on March 26, 2018

Taking Vengeance, the next cyborg romance, will be releasing April 17th!
I shared the first scene last week.
You can read it here: http://tasteofcyn.com/?p=6259

This is the second scene.

***

“Push me too far, E Model, and I will push back.” Vengeance curled his fingers into fists, frustration-fueled anger coursing through him.

Cyborgs didn’t fight cyborgs. If they did, he would have put Power in his proper place long ago. The E Model would be following his lead.

Fighting was what Vengeance did best.

Not that he fought very often. He hadn’t battled a worthy adversary face-to-face since the cyborgs had claimed the Homeland as their planet. The training battles didn’t count. They had no real consequences and had become predictable.

He spent most of the planet rotation stuck in a chair, the inactivity feeding his disgruntlement. The metal groaned a protest as he shifted his weight. C Models took action. They didn’t chatter about it.

“There is no need to push back.” Power met his gaze. “My duty is to represent the majority of warriors. When your views mirror the majority’s, I will listen to them.”

Unlike the deceitful humans, cyborgs couldn’t lie. Power would listen to his views. The challenge was to convince the majority of warriors the human females were their enemies.

That would be difficult to do. Many warriors believed the genetic bond between a cyborg and his female couldn’t be resisted. They also believed it was unbreakable, linking the fates of those two beings together for all eternity.

He had to show his brethren the truth—the connection wasn’t as strong as they perceived. Power, a warrior more skilled with words, would attempt to prove the link couldn’t be severed.

“That concludes the decision-making for this planet rotation.” The E Model finally ended the meeting.

Restless, requiring movement, Vengeance stood, eager to leave. He’d return to his private chambers, gather some of his favorite weapons, and venture to the training chambers, seek a mock battle with a warrior or two or five.

That would utilize the excess energy surging through his circuits, allow him to focus on the dilemma facing him.

Vengeance, Death transmitted through a secure line. We need to discuss a matter with you. Privately.

Vengeance had nothing to discuss with the traitor. He stalked from the chamber, moved along the corridors at cyborg speed.

The fraggin’ warrior followed him. According to Vengeance’s monitoring system, the human female traveled at the same pace.

Death must be carrying her. Humans were slow.

Males straightened as Vengeance passed them, giving him the respect a council member was due. He was responsible for those males, each and every one of them. They trusted him to make the right decisions for them, to keep them safe.

If the humans recaptured his brethren, if those warriors were then decommissioned, if their countenances, currently hopeful, twisted in pain, Vengeance would be the being to blame. He couldn’t live with that knowledge, wouldn’t ever fail them.

Vengeance entered his private chambers, leaving the doors open. It was a large space, with plenty of area to move around. There was a C Model-sized chair, a horizontal support, and wires to re-energize with.

There was no sleeping support in the chambers, as cyborgs didn’t sleep. The human females would complain about that. As they would complain about the weapons hanging on the walls. The fragile enemy didn’t want cyborgs to be surrounded by guns and blades.

Vengeance turned toward the entrance, bracing his booted feet apart, preparing to face his opponents.

Death entered, cradling the human female in his arms. That left him with no hands free to wield weapons. The warrior foolishly put himself at risk, accommodating their adversary.

The J Model glanced over his right shoulder. “We require privacy.”

The warrior required a boot to his ass. Vengeance closed the doors and crossed his arms in front of his chest. “Power is the council member you should speak to. I’m not interested.”

“Power doesn’t want us to speak with you about this.” The human female dared to talk to him.

Vengeance kept his gaze locked on Death. He wouldn’t listen to her. She was the enemy.

Death sighed. “I’ll lead this conversation, my female.”

“Because he won’t speak to me.” The human female shook her head. “He’s more arrogant than Power. Are you certain Astrid will change his stance on humans?”

“Yes.” Death set the human female down. She was short and soft and weak, requiring constant protection and care. Vengeance didn’t see her appeal. “You changed my stance on humans, didn’t you?”

“Nothing will change my stance on humans.” Vengeance narrowed his eyes at Death. “They’re the enemy, should be destroyed, not embraced.”

Taking Vengeance – First Scene Of The First Chapter

By Cynthia Sax on March 19, 2018

Taking Vengeance, the next cyborg romance, will be releasing April 17th!
While we wait, here is the first scene of the first chapter.

***

Chapter One

Humans were their enemies.

Vengeance glared along the horizontal support at Power, his nemesis on the cyborg council.

Some warriors had forgotten that. They had forgiven thousands of solar cycles of killing and abuse just because a handful of human females had given cyborgs offspring.

Offspring could be manufactured as he had been manufactured—in a vat. And they could never compensate for what had been done to his brethren.

Cyborgs had been created by the Humanoid Alliance to fight the humans’ wars. When they faltered, were injured, or were deemed obsolete—replaced by newer models, the humans had callously decommissioned them.

An early C Model, Vengeance had seen that death sentence given to almost every warrior he trained with, every male he cared for, every being he loved. He’d watched the humans laugh and chatter as they sliced his friends to pieces, dissecting the males while they were alive, removing every salvageable part. The humans had given the warriors prolongers. That prevented the cyborgs from losing consciousness due to the pain, ensuring they felt every cut.

Friend after friend had suffered the horrible fate, their deaths transmitted. He shared their horror as they watched their guts scooped out of their frames, heard their screams as their limbs were severed. The agony seemed endless, every sight and sound broadcasted.

While the humans smiled and joked.

He would never forget that, would never forgive the humans.

Power argued that the human females were different. They weren’t responsible for the deaths of cyborg brethren.

Vengeance’s lips twisted. The E Model was wrong.

All humans, male or female, were the same. They were cruel, couldn’t be trusted. Given the opportunity, they would betray his brethren, enslave them once more, sentencing them to endless torture and death.

He couldn’t allow that to happen.

“As we decided during our last meeting, ten levels will be added to Structure 539212,” Power relayed. “That space will be manufactured to accommodate human and humanoid females.”

“That was not decided.” Vengeance straightened. “The levels should be designed for cyborg usage only. Our warriors are the Homeland’s only permanent residents.”

Two council members nodded.

Five solar cycles ago, every representative would have agreed with him.

But the enemy had infiltrated their ranks, influenced the warriors. His gaze shifted to Death and that warrior’s human female.

Vengeance had earned his place on the council, had been awarded it after a lifespan of battle and a bloody escape from the Humanoid Alliance. The puny female had been given her spot. One of their enemy now sat at the horizontal support as though she were his equal.

He curled his top lip. It was a disgrace, dangerous and disrespectful to all of his fallen brethren.

“Human and humanoid females will soon be permanent residents, with full rights,” Power argued.

“Giving humans full rights will endanger every warrior on our planet.” He would fight that ruling with every resource he had. “The enemy should be expelled, not welcomed.”

“The females aren’t our enemies.” Power’s dark eyes flashed. “They’re our future.”

“They’ll destroy our future, a future we’ve fought hard to achieve.” Many of their brethren had given their lifespans for the freedom the survivors now enjoyed.

That sacrifice had to be honored, the cyborgs’ liberty protected.

“That is your projection.” Power tilted his head upward. “My model predicts a more optimistic result.”

The E Model’s processors were malfunctioning. The Humanoid Alliance had manufactured cyborgs to serve them. The humans would never forget that, would never allow him and his brethren to be truly free.

“The plans for the new levels have been transferred to you, Death.” Power returned to pandering to that warrior and his human female. “Give us your insights by sunrise.”

Death disappointed Vengeance. The warrior had been formidable on the battlefield. Once. Now, he was weak, a shadow of a cyborg, betraying their kind by bonding with the enemy.

He represented the human females, was aligned with them, ensuring their wishes and needs were taken into consideration when the cyborgs made decisions.

The humans had brutally killed their brethren, and now warriors worried about whether or not they were happy. The cyborg council had been taken over by the enemy. Vengeance looked around the chamber. Did no one else see that?

His gaze returned to Power. This was the emotional E Model’s doing. With the talk of offspring and companionship, he’d swayed many lonely warriors to his side, the side of the human females.

He would never sway Vengeance.

Cyborgs, Prolongers And Reality In Fiction

By Cynthia Sax on March 17, 2018

If you’ve read my cyborg series, you know about prolongers, injections designed to keep warriors conscious and alive when injured, allowing them to return to base camp where medic supplies are available.

Like many futuristic things in my stories, prolongers aren’t 100% fictional.

A scientist buddy mentioned something like that was being developed and I incorporated it into the series.

An article has now been written about this technology!

Women Invented Computing

By Cynthia Sax on March 17, 2018

I’m talking about a few of the bad a$$ women of computing at A Little Bit Tart, A Little Bit Sweet today!

Here is a snippet…

“Rear Admiral Grace Brewster Murray Hopper is another pioneer in computer programming. She invented the first compiler (a compiler translates human coding language into binary, allowing humans to ‘talk’ to computers).

Grace’s bio is a study in how to overcome rejection and change the world. This total bad a$$ tried to enlist in the US Navy during World War II but was considered too old (she was 34). Instead she joined the Navy Reserves.”

Dark Strength Alien Romance

Dark Strength

The Bigger They Are, The Harder They Fall.

Balvan, the Refuge’s Gatekeeper, is huge, green, and has a reputation for crushing skulls. He’s a modified humanoid, genetically designed to be the ultimate warrior. One of a kind and considered monstrous by many, he never expects to find his mate, the one female meant for him.

Elyce, snatched from her home half a solar cycle ago, has finally escaped her brutal captors. She arrives at the Refuge barely alive. Only a blood transfusion from the largest male she has ever seen will save her life. But it will also bind her to him forever. Staring up, up, up at him, she wonders why she wants to be free. His gentle touch revives yearnings she thought dead. His lips set her skin ablaze. His massive muscles make her feel safe.

That feeling could be an illusion. Elyce’s captors want their slave back and they won’t stop until they have her. To give his mate her freedom, Balvan might be forced to give up everything he has – his role as the Gatekeeper, Elyce’s love, and his life.

Dark Strength is a STANDALONE Alien SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes violent universe.

Interview With Pearl Foxx

By Cynthia Sax on March 15, 2018

I sat down (virtually) with Pearl Foxx for a short interview. Today is the release day for Pearl Foxx’s Chance, Book One in her Cyn City Cyborgs series!


Cynthia Sax: What is your favorite line from Chance and why?

Pearl Foxx: “I promise. Not all of me’s made of metal.”

I actually like this line so much, I put it in my blurb. First of all, it just cracks me up because it’s so scandalously innocent, yet it immediately makes you think about his penis. Second of all, I think it shows a rare moment of Chance accepting his cyborg status. He hates being a cyborg and this touch of playfulness around the topic lets the reader see behind his walls and into the man inside.

Cynthia Sax: It is an awesome line! Where is Chance set?

Pearl Foxx: CHANCE happens on a future Earth. If you’ve read the Shifter of Kladuu series, you’ve seen the Zynthar Space Station and a little bit of Earth already. But this time we’re in Cyn City, old Manhattan, with the drop-off leading out to the dead dessert of North America on one side and the Deluge holding back the rising ocean on the other. Cyn City is gritty and dark. Always in the shadow of the sparkling skycity that hovers above the old buildings. Here people feel the pressure of survival, the desperation of making it just one more day. The city hardens everyone who lives there, but sometimes all you need is a little push to remember what it’s like to live in the light.


Cynthia Sax: That is so true. Is Chance part of a series and will you be writing more stories in this series?

Pearl Foxx: This is a series! ENVER will be coming in late April with a minimum of a third book coming soon after that. While Cyn City Cyborg piggybacks on Shifters of Kladuu, you do not have to read one series to enjoy the other. But if you have, you’ll have fun revisiting some places and people you’ve met before.


Cynthia Sax: What do you love about writing Science Fiction Romance?


Pearl Foxx:
I adore the chance to play in new worlds and different times, while still telling the timeless stories I love to read. The most exciting part of story-telling to me has always been world building, whether it be on the far off planet of Kladuu or here at home in a distant future. While the future Earth in Cyn City Cyborgs is a dystopia, Science Fiction Romance has so much room for creating hopeful storylines and beautiful locations.
Creating new cultures, new species, new social rules is a huge amount of fun. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I’ve enjoyed writing!

Cynthia Sax: It IS fun! Thank you for joining us today, Pearl Foxx!

*****************************************************************************

“I promise. Not all of me’s made of metal.”

A cyborg with a mysterious and dangerous past.
A naive girl fleeing the dying farmlands to forge her own future.

Chance has fought his entire life, first for survival in the streets of Cyn City and later for money and prestige in the underground Cyborg Fight League. His fists and cybernetic arm have solved almost every problem he’s ever faced, except for love. After losing the love of his life, he never thought he’d find someone again.

Verity left behind everything she knows to start a new future in Cyn City. But her Ecovangalit upbringing left her unprepared for the hard realities of life amongst the criminals and cyborgs. When a dangerous cyborg with a bad reputation proves to be the only person she can trust, can she lower her walls enough to let him in?

As Verity finds herself in debt to the wrong kind of man who will sell her body as fast as he will sell her soul, Chance is the only one who can clear her ledger, but only if he’ll fight in the Cyborg Underground Circuit again.

Is Chance strong enough to win the only fight that ever mattered?

Each book in the series is fully stand alone and can be read in any order.

Book One: Chance
Book Two: Enver
More To Be Announced!

Note to Readers: This science fiction cyborg dystopian romance series contains lots of action, alpha males, fierce women, and steamy romance. If you love bad boys who love as hard as they fight, then this series is for you! Guaranteed happily-ever-afters with no cliffhangers.
