Talking Cyborgs With Melisse Aires
I’m at Melisse Aires’ online home today, talking about tricksy cyborgs
http://melisseaires.blogspot.ca/2015/09/welcome-cynthia-sax-releasing-rage.html
Here’s a snippet…
Cyborgs are oh-so-sexy, manufactured males with abilities surpassing a human’s, but they can also be tricksy. (grins) They aren’t always what they seem.
In Melisse’s Her Cyborg Awakes, Qy aka Kaistril, the cyborg hero, conceals his warrior nature while in servitude to a depraved Emperor. After he frees himself, Kaistril once again becomes the male he truly is.
In Releasing Rage, my most recent cyborg romance, Rage also has to hide his true nature, his true feelings. He’s enslaved by the Humanoid Alliance. The humans view him as an unprocessing, unfeeling machine, a weapon of war. They believe he has to obey their orders.

Half Man. Half Machine. All Hers.
Rage, the Humanoid Alliance’s most primitive cyborg, has two goals—kill all of the humans on his battle station and escape to the Homeland. The warrior has seen the darkness in others and in himself. He believes that’s all he’s been programmed to experience.
Until he meets Joan.
Joan, the battle station’s first female engineer, has one goal—survive long enough to help the big sexy cyborg plotting to kill her. Rage might not trust her but he wants her. She sees the passion in his eyes, the caring in his battle-worn hands, the gruff emotion in his voice.
When Joan survives the unthinkable, Rage’s priorities are tested. Is there enough room in this cyborg’s heart for both love and revenge?

Talking Breathing Vapor And Crash And Burn
I’m talking about cyborgs, spanking and future stories at Renee Rose’s online home today.
http://www.reneeroseromance.com/2015/09/one-freakin-hot-cyborg-releasing-rage.html
Here’s a snippet…
“Renee Rose: I would categorize Releasing Rage as a D/s (Dominance/submission) book. Do you ever throw in a little spanking or bondage?
Cynthia Sax: Releasing Rage definitely has dominance and submission in it. Rage is a warrior, accustomed to giving orders and trained to react to threats. Joan, the human heroine, understands this, allowing him to command her.
I know you write some hot, hot, HOT romances featuring some palm-warming spanking scenes (exploring spanking in Regencies is simply brilliant). My November release, Breathing Vapor, has a spank-happy cyborg hero. [Renee Rose: YIPPEE!] Mira, the human heroine, has issues letting go and expressing emotion. The sessions over Vapor’s knee help her with this.”

Talking Cyborgs and Supertechs
I’m talking about cyborgs and Supertechs on at Greta van der Rol’s online home today.
http://gretavanderrol.net/2015/09/23/half-human-half-machine-cyborgs-and-supertechs/
Here’s a snippet…
“Almost every SciFi romance fan I know has a fascination with new and emerging technologies. I get a thrill when I see robots and druids (BB-8 from Star Wars: The Force Awakens has already stolen a piece of my heart), the latest tablets (so Star Trek!), even the innovations in coffee makers (the space-like K-cups).
So it makes sense that half human, half machine beings like cyborgs and Greta’s awesome Supertechs would capture our imaginations.”

Why I Love Man Titty
I’m talking about man titty on covers at the fabulous Sabine Priestley’s online home today.
http://sabinepriestley.com/blog/cynthia-sax-talks-sexy-cyborgs-and-hot-covers/
Here’s a snippet…
“First and foremost, I like looking at bare male chests (and shoulders and backs). All of those muscles, the interesting shadows, the vulnerability of exposed skin with the hint of power, fascinate me. I don’t need to see the man’s face. My idea of handsome isn’t the same as everyone’s. But a great male chest is universal. (grins)”

Cyborgs Vs Androids Vs Clones
See other great SciFi romance posts here – http://sfrcontests.blogspot.ca/p/sfr-brigade-presents.html
The Humanoid Alliance has developed cyborgs as their ultimate weapon. They’re specially designed soldiers.
Why cyborgs? Why not androids or clones?
Clones
Clones are 100% human. They’re genetic copies of existing people. If factions within the Humanoid Alliance don’t want humans to be put at risk in battle, they won’t want clones to be put at risk either.
Clones might not wish to be put at risk also. They have free will. They are likely to rebel when faced with a certain death situation.
Because a clone’s ability is limited to what humans can do, alien species that threaten humans will threaten clones also. They’ll kill the clones as quickly as the original. The Mantidae, for example, are so fast and strong, they will end a human’s life before his or her feet touch the ground.
Androids
Androids are 100% machine. They can be constructed to be as strong or as fast as humans require. They will follow orders without question. They wouldn’t ever rebel or decide not to fight.
There are beings within the Humanoid Alliance who would prefer that androids, not cyborgs, be sent to the battlefields.
The biggest issue with android warriors is that instinct is a part of fighting. We’ve all seen dancers or singers or sports figures who know all of the moves, have all of the training, yet they don’t have that mysterious ‘it’ factor, the instinct, the feeling down deep in their gut to do X at Y time.
I’ve spoken with many human soldiers and they attest to instinct playing a huge role in whether they survive a battle or not. They have a feeling that the enemy is in a certain spot. They look and that’s where the enemy is.
Cyborgs
Cyborgs are half human, half machine. They are stronger and faster than humans yet they have human instinct. The Humanoid Alliance believes they will follow orders without question (this belief is wrong).
Because cyborgs aren’t completely human, the humans can tell themselves that a cyborg’s life isn’t as precious as a human’s life. They can view them as disposable weapons.
They’re seen as the best option (for now) for the battlefield.

What Is Your Cyborg Name?
I’m at Smart Girls Love SciFi Romance, talking about cyborg names.
Of course, what would a discussion about cyborgs be without mentions of Laurann Dohner ‘s unrelenting Steel, Eve Langlais’ cleverly sexy Einstein, and Mina Carter ‘s drool-worthy Lyon?
Here’s a snippet…
Rage, the hero of my most recent SciFi romance Releasing Rage, is a hunky cyborg. Cyborgs are (normally) manufactured to be warriors. They’re viewed as weapons and are often given model numbers instead of names.
Rage’s model number, for example, is C899321. That is how his human masters refer to him.
That ISN’T how other cyborgs refer to him. The cyborgs have given themselves names. These names reflect something core about them. Rage is often angry, infuriated by the injustices against his kind. His buddy, Crash, tends to push the limits of his processors until they ‘crash.’ Intrepid is fearless. Green (I’ll be giving his story for free to newsletter subscribers in December) loves his plant, Windy.
Read the full article here and let me know what your cyborg name is!

Cyborgs And Violence
Cyborgs were designed as weapons. Their number one reason for being is to kill the enemy (as decided by the Humanoid Alliance). The cyborgs’ machine side is programmed for dealing out death, their mechanics honed for battle. Their human side is bred to be hyper aggressive and not-at-all sensitive.
As Rage mentions in Releasing Rage, when cyborgs are fighting and breeding as they’re designed to do, they’re happy. It gives them satisfaction. (Rage is also good at fighting and that is a source of pride for him.)
Cyborgs have honor. They don’t kill simply to kill. They prefer to battle a being who is, in their eyes, ‘bad.’, either dishonorable or a threat to beings they care for. If the enemy is honorable, cyborgs try to limit their pain, ending their lifespans quickly. Rage’s view of the Homeland is a place where he decides whom he will battle.
Would A Cyborg Kill A Female?
One of the most common questions I’m asked is ‘Would Rage have killed Joan?’
Rage is many things but he’s not a sexist (unlike the Humanoid Alliance council members and the beings on his battle station). He has fought species that send their females into battle. He had to kill these females or he would have died. He saw how females could be as or even more competent and skilled in warfare as males. Rage respects their power and their strength.
If Joan had been a dishonorable human, mistreating Rage and his brethren, he would have ended her lifespan.
Exceptions
Cyborgs are half human and, as we all know, genetics isn’t perfect. There are cyborgs, like Crash, who don’t like to fight. They’re good at it. They’ve been manufactured that way. And while they are under Humanoid Alliance control, they have no choice. They have to kill the enemy or be decommissioned. But they don’t enjoy it.
This is challenging for them. Crash knows he’s different, not like the other cyborgs. He doesn’t quite fit in.

Everyone Is Assuming You Already Do This
In One Night With My Billionaire Master, half of Toronto’s business community believes that Arianna is having sex with billionaire financier and all around hottie, Logan Ross.
They aren’t having sex. Arianna is still a virgin. Logan protects her as best as he can and he pours naughty ideas into her ear but he doesn’t pressure her. He allows her to decide when they take this step.
Arianna starts to wonder why she’s resisting. Everyone (except for her father – and he’s certainly a key factor) assumes they’ve done the deed so why not do it?
When I first started writing, my business buddies assumed I sat around in my pajamas all day. I didn’t. I took a shower as soon as I woke up and dressed in business casual clothes (as all I had were these clothes and suits, being the total business babe that I was).
Then I started thinking… If everyone assumes I sit around in my pjs, maybe I should sit around in my pjs. I tried it and I liked it. Pjs are dang comfortable! And friends aren’t shocked when they find me wearing them at 2 in the afternoon. They expect me to be dressed like that.
Is there something that everyone incorrectly assumes that you do? Have you considered doing this one thing?

Note: If you purchased Mastered 2, you already have this story.
One night. No one must know.
This is the text I sent Logan Ross this morning. The billionaire financier is my father’s number one nemesis and has been pursuing me for months. He wants to own me, completely, promising exquisite pleasure balanced by equally intense pain, vowing to dominate me, to show me wicked things a virgin like myself shouldn’t be interested in.
But I am extremely interested, and I’ll risk everything—my job, my family, my future—to experience one night of total submission with this powerful Dom.
Will one night be enough for both of us?

Star Trek And Snarktember
I’m talking about Star Trek and Cyborgs for Snarktember at Snarky Mom Reads.
http://www.snarkymomreads.com/
Here’s a snippet…
Let’s ‘boldly go where no man has gone before.” On this day in 1966 (long before I was born), Star Trek premiered on U.S. television.
Star Trek is an inspiration to those of us who never get things right on the first try. The original pilot was rejected by NBC. The second pilot was accepted but ratings were so poor for the show, NBC threatened to cancel it during the second season. A letter writing campaign saved it…temporarily. It was canceled after the third season.
Reruns, however, gradually built a cult following for Star Trek. Today, it is a multi-billion dollar industry. It has inspired many modern inventions including handheld mobile phones. Star Trek was also one of the first shows to feature a multicultural cast.
As a SciFi erotic romance writer, Star Trek has certainly changed my life.
