Crash And Burn
Crash was manufactured to be one of the best warriors in the universe. The cyborg has spent many human lifespans fighting the enemy. But, unlike his battle-loving brethren, he doesn’t enjoy killing. When he escapes the Humanoid Alliance, he vows to never end another life.
Then he meets Safyre, an infuriating human female, and he considers breaking his vow.
Safyre will do anything to save her friend, the being she loves like a sister. She’ll ravish a huge hunky cyborg, kiss his best friend, and invoke scorching hot desires the male never realized he could feel. Dark soulful eyes, a quick wit, and a tempestuous passion won’t divert her from her mission.
Love, and a planet-destroying weapon, however, might stop her permanently.

Breathing Vapor And Dolls
In Breathing Vapor, Pepe, the young Tau Cetian child, has a doll. It’s a simple doll, made out of scrap material but she loves it and cares for it, just like children on Earth do.
But how can that be? Pepe lives on Tau Ceti, 11.9 light years away. She’s humanoid, not human. Why would she play with dolls?
I recently attended an exhibition of dolls. They were all different, made of different materials, wearing different costumes but almost every culture on Earth had a variation on the doll. Dolls were placed in the Egyptian tombs as early as the 21st Century BC, and they might, just might, have been the world’s first toys.
Why?
Because dolls weren’t seen as mere playthings. Caring for dolls was training for little girls (and sometimes boys). They learned how to take care of their siblings and eventually their own children. The garments they crafted for their dolls were practice tries for human garments.
Sometimes dolls had magical, spiritual or ritual significance. Some were passed down from mother to daughter. They were important culturally.
Because Tau Cetians are humanoid and reproduce similarly to humans, it makes sense that they would also need to teach their future moms how to care for offspring. Aumakua, Pepe’s mother, is a garment fabricator also. She’d wish for her daughter to follow in her footsteps. Pepe would likely start with her doll’s garments.
Now that Vapor has learned about dolls and their importance for offspring, all cyborgs will likely craft these toys for their own offspring. Cyborgs share information. They would share their knowledge about dolls also.
Did you have a doll as a child?

Vapor is the most advanced cyborg the Humanoid Alliance has ever developed. He’s a finely honed weapon, a warrior without parallel, half man and half machine. No lock can contain him. No being can stop him. Whatever he wants, he takes.
He wants Mira Breazeal, the Designer’s daughter.
She’s his one temptation, his sexy target. Vapor shouldn’t crave her caresses, steal her kisses, make her scream with ecstasy. The cyborgs want her dead and they would question his loyalty if he didn’t kill her. The humans would shoot him on sight if he dared to touch her.
Their love is forbidden. Their desire could be lethal. One human and one cyborg will risk everything for a moment of passion.

Releasing Rage Interview
The always awesome Cara Bristol has interviewed me today!
Stop by and ask me questions. You know I’m an open book. Bad pun intended (grins)
http://carabristol.com/2015/12/an-interview-with-cynthia-sax-about-sfr-cyborgs-breathing-vapor/
Here’s a snippet…
Cara Bristol: The romances I’ve read of yours all have a strong theme of domination and submission. Do all your books have that? Do you see yourself continuing with that theme in the future?
Cynthia Sax: Not all of my stories have domination and submission in them. The themes are driven by the characters. Cyborgs are warriors, manufactured soldiers. If beings disobey their commands on the battlefield, they could die. It makes sense that, when they give orders, they expect to be obeyed, even in their sexual relationships. It also makes sense that they’d reprimand their loved ones for disobedience and that these reprimands would be physical. Warriors prefer action over talking.

Breathing Vapor And Character Traits
See other great SciFi romance posts here – http://sfrcontests.blogspot.ca/p/sfr-brigade-presents.html
In Psych 101, the first year university psychology course I took many, many years ago, the professor told us that every character trait could be both a strength and a weakness. I was fascinated by that concept. At first I thought, ‘No way. There are some traits that are one and not the other.’ But the more I thought about it, the more I realized it was true.
Mira, the heroine in Breathing Vapor, for example, is a liar. Lying is bad, right? We’re taught that as children. Yet we lie all the time. We tell loved ones that everything will be okay when we don’t think it will be. When our buddies need our help, we’re magically ‘not busy.’ When we’re asked how we are, we say we’re fine, even if we aren’t.
Lying is one of Mira’s greatest strengths, a tool she uses to help others. It is also her greatest weakness. Love is based on trust. Trust is based on truth. She doesn’t tell anyone the truth. How can she be trusted? How can she truly be loved?
Vapor, the cyborg hero, is a killer. You can’t get much worse than that. He ends lives. Except Vapor is a warrior, a soldier. Soldiers kill to protect. They follow orders. They end lives to keep others safe. That’s noble, not a bad trait.
In the story you’re reading or writing, does one of the main characters have a trait that is both a strength and a weakness for her/him? Do YOU have a trait that is both a strength and a weakness?
For example: I tend to daydream a lot. That’s great for my job as a writer. It isn’t so great when I drive. (which is why I choose not to drive)

Why I Love Mira From Breathing Vapor
At Spacefreighter’s Lounge, I’m talking about why Mira, from Breathing Vapor, is one of the favorite characters I’ve ever written.
http://spacefreighters.blogspot.ca/2015/11/cynthia-saxs-favourite-character.html
Here’s a snippet…
I think we all have a bit of Mira in us. We help others, knowing we won’t be thanked, that our helping might even hurt us. We act strong when we aren’t. We might even lie to make others happy, telling a friend that everything will be okay when we believe it won’t be, or saying we’re fine when we’re far from fine.

Breathing Vapor And The Tau Cetian Language
Being a former farm girl, I know that two species have to be almost genetically identical to produce fertile offspring, Donkeys and horses might look similar but they are unlikely to produce fertile offspring (unlikely because there are genetic anomalies).
This is why I believe in the common ancestry theory—that humans and aliens (including all humanoids not originating on Earth) in SciFi romances have common ancestors. That’s why they can make babies.
If their biology is similar to ours, it makes sense that their culture and their languages are similar also. Instead of inventing new alien languages, I borrow from existing Earth languages. (Learning Earth languages also helps us in the here and now. It comes in handy when I travel or when I meet someone from a different country.)
In Breathing Vapor (and the upcoming Crash And Burn), the Tau Cetians speak (roughly) Hawaiian. Pepe roughly means baby. Aumakua is a protective deity. Kokami is a Hawaiian cuss word.
If the words sound familiar, that’s why. (grins)

Releasing Rage And Dark Romances
I’m talking about Releasing Rage and dark romances at All Romance eBooks today.
https://www.arecafe.com/cafe-news/cynthia-sax-dark-and-delicious-romances/
Here’s a snippet…
I love reading dark romance. I love the contrast between very bad things happening to the characters I care about and the optimism of the happy romantic ending. The gift characters receive of finding love and hope in the midst of pain and sadness is powerful. It makes me believe that happiness is possible for anyone in any situation.
