Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – April 10th

By Cynthia Sax on April 10, 2022

I spent this past week thinking about Grin And Bare Him, the second story in the Cyborg Unity series (likely releasing in September). I believe I have a good handle on Grin, the cyborg hero, and I already know quite a bit about his heroine (we meet her in Provoking Odium). I also have the first few scenes in my head.

I’ll start writing those scenes this week. I’m excited to craft this story, hope to send it to my Awesome Editor at the end of May.

Once I am three or four chapters into the story, I will likely craft the blurb/book description and set it up at booksellers for pre-orders.

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Dream happy dreams. Tell someone or something you love them (especially any furbabies and/or plants – grins – studies say they response well to loving comments). Know that you are loved also. (more hugs)

Seizing Power

This cyborg believes he’s in control.

Power is the self-appointed leader of the cyborg council. Other members might debate situations. He makes the ultimate decisions.

When a threat to Homeland is revealed, he takes command of a fleet and ventures to the edge of cyborg-controlled space to investigate. He finds a rebellion led by a mysterious upstart he calls Cadet.

The plan Power derives is simple—he’ll quickly quash the uprising and teach its leader a lesson the warrior will never forget.

NO ONE challenges his authority.

Eirene Ours might be called a cadet by Power but she is NOT his subordinate. She is the arrogant E Model’s genetic match.

For much of her mature lifespan, she has desired the male, yearning for his dark-eyed gaze, craving his sure hands, longing for his respect.

That esteem was never granted. And Eirene Ours can no longer wait to earn it. There’s an external threat to their kind, a danger that might destroy them all.

Having lured Power to her home terrain, she now plans to use everything within her means — her fists, her daggers, her ship-destroying missiles — to pound that truth into her stubborn warrior’s thick metal skull.

The future of every cyborg is at stake. She can’t fail them.

Power will believe her. Or he will die.

***

Seizing Power is an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features an epic battle between two equally strong cyborg leaders, plans that go terribly yet passionately wrong, and a love that will shake the entire universe.

No Description Yet For Grin And Bare Him

By Cynthia Sax on April 9, 2022

Yesterday, I shared the awesome cover for Grin And Bare Him (you can see that post here – http://tasteofcyn.com/?p=9443 ). Some reading buddies have asked me about the blurb or book description.

Unfortunately, I don’t yet have the blurb crafted.

I know the story is about Grin (we met him in Breathing Vapor) and I know we meet his heroine in Provoking Odium, the first story in Cyborg Unity (releasing in June), and I kind of know the first few scenes. But I don’t yet have enough information about the story to craft a blurb.

It WILL be a romance. It WILL feature a cyborg hero and a humanoid heroine. I’m almost certain there will be explosions and some steamy scenes and there will be a mission. It will have all the elements of one of my cyborg romances.

Cover Reveal For Grin And Bare Him

By Cynthia Sax on April 8, 2022

I’ve started working on Grin And Bare Him, the 2nd story in the Cyborg Unity series (likely releasing in September) and I figured… why not share the…inspiring…cover? (grins)

This cover is designed by Amanda Kelsey from Razzle Dazzle Design.

Grin, the cyborg hero, is so very lickable. We first met Grin in Breathing Vapor. Yep. He’s been waiting a LONG time for his genetic match.

Throwback Thursday – Seeking Vector

By Cynthia Sax on April 7, 2022

Vector and Kasia, the hero and heroine of Seeking Vector, made an appearance in Seizing Power, my latest release. Vector is the captain of a ship Power boards and Kasia is Vector’s hacker genetic match.

Will Vector and Kasia make appearances in future stories? Yes. Absolutely yes. They are two key beings in the cyborg world.

And they are magical together. The love, the acceptance, the trust (both of them have secrets) is palpable when they are on the page. I love this couple and I hope you’ll love them also.

Seeking Vector

A cyborg with a secret… A female seeking the truth…

Vector, the C Model captain of the Freedom, is a cyborg many warriors wish to emulate. He fights fiercely, leads with honor, has earned the respect and loyalty of his crew. But no being, not even a cyborg, is perfect. Since arriving at the Homeland, Vector has been hiding a dark truth about his past. If his secret is exposed, he could lose everything – his position, his ship, and his life.

Kasia excels at uncovering secrets. Half a lifespan ago, her curiosity placed her on the Humanoid Alliance’s kill list. Now she has accessed information the cyborg council would prefer remain hidden. Their warriors are hunting her and won’t rest until she’s dead.

When Vector arrives on her battle station, all grim determination, gray skin, and bulging muscles, Kasia knows he has been sent to kill her. That doesn’t stop her from wanting the dominant cyborg. She senses the savage nature under the male’s controlled exterior, sees the mysteries in his brilliant blue eyes, craves the roughness of his touch. She will risk all she has to experience his embrace.

Kasia braved the cyborg council’s ire for a reason. If she doesn’t convince Vector to act on the information she uncovered, the enemy could destroy his home planet and render every cyborg in the universe immobile.

Can a doubting C Model warrior learn to trust and to love before it is too late?

Planning Series As A Pantser

By Cynthia Sax on April 6, 2022

I’m a pantser. I write by the seat of my pants, not having a plot before I sit down at my keyboard. I normally know the first scene of a story and perhaps a bit about that first point of view character (the hero or the heroine) and that’s it.

Which makes planning a series challenging. (laughs)

In the case of Cyborg Unity, it was a little easier because we ‘meet’ Odium’s heroine in Seizing Power. She’s the freighter captain who calls for help.

I didn’t know anything else about her at the time. And I had no idea who the next four stories were about.

I needed titles and covers for these stories, however. My cover artist requires a long lead time. I like to list all the stories in a series in the description for that first story.

So I jotted down the names of the cyborgs who hadn’t yet found their matches. And I allowed my heart to decide.

Grin, Raw, Strive, Intrepid called to me. Those heroes felt…right. I didn’t know why at the time.

But as I think about story 2 – Grin And Bare Him – I realize I couldn’t have written anyone else’s stories.

That, my friends, is storytelling magic and I’m constantly in awe of it. The muse always knows.

A Very Long Commute

By Cynthia Sax on April 5, 2022

I was joking with the Dear Wonderful Hubby that Power and Eirene Ours have a VERY long commute.

At the end of Seizing Power, they’ve agreed to split their time between the Homeland and Mercury Minor, two planets within the same sector yet situated many planet rotations (days) apart distance-wise.

Is this commute feasible?

Sure. They have systems and beings in place. They could manage their planets from a ship if they wanted to do that.

But, of course, it is easier to know what is truly happening in a place if they are physically there. And they have loved ones on both Mercury Minor and the Homeland.

It remains a long commute, however. (grins)

Van Gogh Nature Inspired Garments

By Cynthia Sax on April 4, 2022

The Dear Wonderful Hubby snapped some photos of some Van Gogh inspired outfits we saw at the Original Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit at The Shops at Crystals in Vegas.

I could envision some future heroines, especially from agri-lots, wearing garments like these for special events.

When I think Van Gogh, I often think sunflowers. A heroine bedecked in fresh flowers local to her planet would draw everyone’s gaze.

This outfit is definitely a celebration of the harvest.

This headpiece is another celebration of the harvest. This would be perfect for shorter heroines who wish to look taller than they truly are. (grins)

This feathered dress is very otherworldly. I could envision a shapeshifter wearing it.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – April 3rd

By Cynthia Sax on April 3, 2022

I made the deadline! Woot! Provoking Odium, the first cyborg romance in the new Cyborg Unity series (releasing in June), has been sent to my Awesome Editor! I’m super happy with this story. I think you’ll really enjoy it.

There will be at least three rounds of edits on Provoking Odium. I pushed the storytelling in a few places and those scenes will likely need serious tweaking. (grins)

This upcoming week will be spent thinking about the next story…which will, I believe, be the second story in the series. We meet the heroine in Provoking Odium and she isn’t letting me put her story on pause. She has a mission and she wants to complete it. The future of her kind depends on this.

Have a great week, my friends. (big hugs) Escape into a fictional world for a bit. Be someone else for a few moments. Go on grand book adventures and experience all types of love. I want that for you so very much. (more hugs)

Are We What We Write?

By Cynthia Sax on April 2, 2022

I’ve been experiencing a particular type of (sometimes extremely entertaining – grins) situation more and more online.

I will talk about climate change on social media and someone will point to the explosions in my books and tell me those explosions contribute to climate change. I will talk about domestic violence on social media and someone will point to the violence in my books, call me a hypocrite.

I could talk about how those explosions aren’t happening here on Earth. Or that maybe climate change is fixed in the future.

But the most important thing is…

I’m not the books I write.

I might have things in common with the heroes or heroines. But they aren’t me. And I don’t approve of or like everything that happens in my stories.

For example, I don’t like conflict in my non-writing life. At all.

A well-written Romance Novel, in contrast, usually requires all sorts of conflict. A no conflict Romance Novel would be VERY short. (laughs) The couple (or more) would exchange ‘I love you’s on the first page and that would be it. They’d have their Romantic Happy Ever After. The story would be over. To craft a longer, more thrilling story, we NEED conflict.

In the Sax household, as another example, we try not to intentionally kill anything. Spiders live in our basement over the winter and we take them outside in the spring. I have a plant on the windowsill that has been dead for months and I water it weekly, hoping it will miraculously return to life.

In my stories, in contrast, beings die. All sorts of beings. Good, bad, other. The stories are set during war. It would be very unusual not to have any deaths during a war.

And my life is very boring compared to the lives of the beings in my stories. You do NOT want my stories to reflect my life. It would be 200 pages of someone sitting in front of a computer screen in her daytime pajamas.

Writers are not usually what they write. And you don’t want our stories to be a reflection of who we are and what we do. There’s a reason there aren’t many (or any that I know about) reality shows based on writers. We’re quite boring. (grins)

April Fools’ Day Or Poisson D’Avril

By Cynthia Sax on April 1, 2022

I won’t be online much today as it is April Fools’ Day, a day when people try to trick others. I’m MUCH too trusting and I usually believe them. (sheepish grin) So I tend to avoid people on this day.

I spent a bit of my childhood in a French Canadian town and I much prefer the French Canadian April 1st tradition. The day is called Poisson D’Avril.

Poisson means fish in French and it usually involves a fish in some way. Some people stick a paper fish on unsuspecting folks’ backs. If there’s a prank or any other foolery, there is a fish involved. It is fun to spot the fish references and we trusting folks know if a fish isn’t present, it isn’t a trick.

Have fun today, my friends!

That esteem was never granted. And Eirene Ours can no longer wait to earn it. There’s an external threat to their kind, a danger that might destroy them all.

Having lured Power to her home terrain, she now plans to use everything within her means — her fists, her daggers, her ship-destroying missiles — to pound that truth into her stubborn warrior’s thick metal skull.

The future of every cyborg is at stake. She can’t fail them.

Power will believe her. Or he will die.

Seizing Power is an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features an epic battle between two equally strong cyborg leaders, plans that go terribly yet passionately wrong, and a love that will shake the entire universe.
