Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – June 20th

By Cynthia Sax on June 20, 2021

Welcome to the new reading buddies who found me via the Dark Thoughts promo. (tackle hugs) If you have any questions, need a terrible pun or want to chat, my email is on the right sidebar. I’m always happy to hear from you!

I completed final edits for Baring Grudge, the third Rebel Cyborgs story (releasing in August), this week and have sent it to my fabulous formatter (the Dear Wonderful Hubby). He started a brand new job this week so it might take some time before he sends it back to me for final proofs.

I’m still zipping along on B Free, the fourth Rebel Cyborgs story (releasing in November). My target date to send it to my Awesome Editor is July 31st.

Have a great day, my friends, and a terrific week! Read great books. Eat delicious food. Look up at the stars now and then. Embrace this marvelous life!

Under Strain

A damaged cyborg warrior is hunted by a peace-loving human female.

***

Strain is severely malfunctioning. The D Model cyborg was the sole survivor after a horrific decision was made by his cruel manufacturers. He hates all humans, and when he attacks one who is under his cyborg leader’s protection, he is reprimanded, stripped of his weapons, and told to watch and not actively participate in the next mission.

That mission takes place on a small remote planet. Its lush terrain should only be inhabited by the cyborgs they were sent to rescue, but Strain senses another presence on the surface. She is watching him, tracking him, hunting him.

A fully operational cyborg would end her lifespan.

Strain wants to claim her. Forever.

Kamyelle is the only one left of her kind. Warriors have killed the other nonviolent human inhabitants of her planet. She survived…barely…by hiding in the trees, observing her enemies, and covering herself with lifeform scan-concealing mud.

When a handsome, gray-skinned, brilliant-blue-eyed male arrives, surrounded by weapon-carrying warriors, she has to save him. Warriors harm and they kill. That is what they do.

She won’t allow them to hurt Strain.

***

Under Strain is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features a broken warrior, a human female who thinks he’s perfect, and velociraptor-like dinosaurs who view them both as light, tasty snacks.

Going On Adventures

By Cynthia Sax on June 19, 2021

Whenever the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I are faced with anything new, we tell each other we’re going on an adventure.

Adventures rarely go smoothly. There is danger and peril and struggles to overcome or endure. But there is also wonder and joy and beauty and, when I’m with the Dear Wonderful Hubby, laughs (usually during inappropriate times – grins).

We don’t know what is waiting for us around the next bend…and that is part of the fun.

It is also a reminder that trials are temporary. We’ll get out of that quicksand, save ourselves from the boa constrictor, escape the big baddies.

And the best of things, treasures can be merely a few steps away. That treasure, itself, is a mystery. It could be a double rainbow, a hug from a good friend, a slice of tasty fruit. We don’t yet know. It is all very exciting!

Have you gone on an adventure recently?

Cover Reveal For B Free

By Cynthia Sax on June 18, 2021

Woot! I have a cover for B Free, the fourth Rebel Cyborgs story (releasing in November).

This cover was designed by the always awesome Amanda Kelsey from Razzle Dazzle Design and I believe it captures the story’s primitive B Model hero perfectly!

I also crafted a rough preliminary blurb for the story (as a placeholder until I craft the final one).

B Free

B is the last remaining B Model cyborg. All of his brethren, the beings he trained with, fought with, cared deeply for, have perished.

Or so he believes.

When he intercepts a communication mentioning the existence of one of his kind, he has to investigate the source. The message could be a trap set by his enemies. He’ll take that risk if it secures him the companionship he requires to be fully functional.

What he finds is a daring human female who activates all his systems. She proudly proclaims she’s a historian, brandishing that information like a weapon before her. He wants to kiss the sass off her beautiful face, protect her from the dangers around them, claim her forever.

Quinn is on a quest to locate the mechanics of an early version cyborg. She believes the information captured within that frame will give her valuable insights into the past.

When her mission goes zombie-like beings levels of wrong, she comes face-to-face with a living, breathing B Model. He has big hands, a primitive countenance, and stern hard lips crafted for kissing.

She doesn’t trust him. He might be working for her competitor. Historians can be a tricksy bunch. And she doesn’t have time to indulge her desires.

Their shared enemy wants their precious specimens back and they’re willing to kill to retrieve them. One minor mistake could reduce B and Quinn to a mere line in the databases of history.

***

B Free is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features the sole surviving B Model cyborg warrior, a human historian seeking to uncover the past, and an unplanned visit to a settlement ruled by an extremely scary all-knowing, all-powerful modified humanoid named Kralj.

Throwback Thursday – Dark Flight

By Cynthia Sax on June 17, 2021

Orol, the hero of Dark Flight, is the most classically handsome of all the heroes in my story. And he is truly ‘classically’ handsome as he sports wings. (grins) He looks like an angel but he is SO not one. He’s Kralj’s second-in-command at the Refuge, is a fierce warrior, loves to fight.

Rhea, his heroine, is as strong as he is. She’s dedicated to her younger sister and would do anything, even team up with Orol, to protect her.

This story has a gladiator-in-space type feel to it. There are competitions, fights to the death. If you enjoy those types of stories, you might love Dark Flight.

Dark Flight

His mission. His challenge. His forever.

Orol, the Refuge’s second-in-command, has been given what he believes is a simple mission—escort two human females to the settlement. The winged warrior arrives at the meeting site to find one of the females missing and the other aiming a gun at his head. To rescue the first, he must capture the second. Once he has Rhea in his talons, however, he realizes he never wants to let her go.

Her enemy. Her captor. Her everything.

Rhea doesn’t trust anyone. She certainly doesn’t follow commands issued by a gorgeous flying male with glittering eyes, a beautiful face, and a seductive touch. Orol is dominant, edged with darkness, and determined to find her sister. Rhea will do anything to prevent that, even if it means playing sensual games of submission with her powerful enemy, seducing him into forgetting everything except her.

Dark Flight is a STAND-ALONE SciFi Romance set in a gritty, dark world.

Pre-orders And Editing

By Cynthia Sax on June 15, 2021

I’ve been loading stories (like Baring Grudge) for pre-order as soon as I’m confident the story works. That usually happens before it has been fully edited (the excerpts in the backs of previous stories haven’t been fully edited either).

Which means…

Early blurbs/book descriptions haven’t been fully edited…or edited at all.

Some writers place a few lines like… “Description coming soon.” But I like to give you more information about what you’re possibly pre-ordering.

Usually, we can figure out whose story it is by the title. Under Strain is clearly Strain’s story. Baring Grudge is Grudge’s story. The blurb relays a bit about the plot and the love interest(s).

Those blurbs/book descriptions are rough, however. They might have typos. They might be a bit awkward or confusing (which likely means the story is still a bit rough or confusing – grins). All that is fully my fault, not my Awesome Editor’s. She hasn’t yet seen these blurbs/book descriptions.

Big Cat Shifters And Lion Shifters

By Cynthia Sax on June 14, 2021

The first short(er) story in the Big Cat Shifter collection (published under C.S. Sax) features a lion shifter hero.

I love all three big cats featured in the omnibus-lions, tigers, and leopards. Tigers are my favorite of the three. I love their colors and stripes.

Entering Leopard Territory, the leopard shifter story, however, is my favorite story. I think Adar, the hero, is so fraggin’ sexy. (bites fists)

Yet I started the collection with the lion shifter hero.

Why?

Because the lion is known as the King of the Beasts. I thought it was fitting that we start with the King. (grins)

Big Cat Shifters

They’re wealthy. They’re powerful. And they’re big cat shifters. Three billionaires—a lion shifter, a tiger shifter and a leopard shifter—prowl the boardrooms of the city. They are masters of their domains, kings of all beasts, and they have everything anyone could possibly want.

Except love.

These billionaire big cat shifters track and claim their human fated mates in three sizzling stories of passion, dominance and savage battles to the death.

Assistant To The Alpha Lion – Royce, a hard-working alpha lion shifter, believes Starr, a curvy job applicant, is his birthday present. She decides to give him a private party he’ll never forget.

Hacking The Billionaire Tiger – Nikhil, a tiger-shifting billionaire CEO, has been hunting Violet, a chaos-causing hacker, for years. When he finally captures her, anarchy rules, empires crumble and beings die.

Entering Leopard Territory – Jeanine’s secret dream is to belong. Why then is she attracted to Adar, a fierce billionaire leopard shifter renowned for being solitary?

Answer a big cat’s call. Delve into a modern-day fantasy world with these lunch-hour-length romances.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – June 13th

By Cynthia Sax on June 13, 2021

I’m still working on B Free, the fourth Rebel Cyborgs story (releasing in November), and it is kicking my a$$. It is just one of those stories, a story I have to fight for.

Those are often my favorite stories.

Though I didn’t fight too hard this week. (sheepish grin) As I mentioned yesterday, the Dear Wonderful Hubby is starting a new job on Monday. He’ll likely be working long hours, trying to ramp up quickly. So we took the week off and spent time together. We watched movies and hiked around and had some laughs.

While he applies himself to the new job starting tomorrow (he’ll still be working from home – we remain in semi-lockdown in our corner of the universe), I’ll have some much-needed conversations with B and his female. I’ll be back in the writing cave.

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Take a few moments out of every day for yourself. Read some great books. Laugh. Love. Enjoy yourself!

Changing Roles And Cyborgs

By Cynthia Sax on June 12, 2021

The Dear Wonderful Hubby is starting a new job on Monday. Woot!

He’ll be meeting new co-workers and clients, learning new jargon, acquired different skills.

He’s excited and a bit nervous. Change is always like that – a swirling vortex of emotions. The old ways or environment might not be ideal. That’s why we want to move from it. But we know it. We know how to navigate it. The new is…well…new. We’re not quite sure what to say or do or if we’ll find happiness.

I’ve been thinking quite a bit about what the cyborgs are now grappling with. They know how to be warriors, how to fight and kill. But the Homeland (and Mercury Minor) needs more than warriors. It needs beings in a vast array of roles. It’ll be exciting to witness how the cyborgs deal with that.

Under Strain And Odium

By Cynthia Sax on June 11, 2021

In Under Strain, we meet Odium, an E Model warrior who has been trapped in a structure with his brethren for solar cycles. He’s angry. He’s frustrated. He’s seeking vengeance for himself and for his brothers-in-arm.

Some reading buddies have asked me if Odium will have his own story.

He will definitely have his own story. I merely don’t know when I’ll tell it or who his heroine will be. I know Odium’s story won’t fit into the Rebel Cyborgs series. The December freebie story will be Valor’s and the other stories are set.

But it WILL be told…eventually. (grins)
