Erasing Scars And Provoking Odium
Briella, the heroine of Provoking Odium, is extremely scarred.
You might be thinking… this is the future. Surely there have been advances in medicine. Why can’t these scars be erased?
They CAN be erased. And Briella had that procedure done. Once.
But it didn’t change anything for her. The beings around her still rejected her based on her mechanical eye.
And when she was scarred again, she didn’t endure the procedure again.

Baring Grudge
No one in the universe is more determined than a cyborg warrior tracking his female.
***
Grudge, a C Model cyborg, has been assigned a mission – safeguard a Humanoid Alliance space station for his kind. Honor was once all he had, and he is determined to fulfill his duty.
That resolve is tested when a tiny human female enters the space station and sets the prettiest little explosives the warrior has ever seen. She is Grudge’s genetic match, the one being manufactured for him. He wants to touch her, kiss her, claim her in all ways, but first he has to stop her from blasting him into the next galaxy.
Taelyn has a self-appointed mission—to destroy every battle robot the Humanoid Alliance has ever manufactured. A huge gray-skinned, blue-eyed cyborg warrior with mismatched arms won’t prevent her from achieving her goal. She’ll escape him, leaving destruction in her wake.
Before she departs, she’ll experience one toe-curling moment of hatred-edged passion with her handsome foe. She’ll show him how skilled with detonations she truly is. He will have his universe rocked.
Then she’ll disappear.
Her cyborg, however, has no intention of ever letting her go.

Throwback Thursday – Dark Flight
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.

Upcoming Cynthia Sax Releases
It is time for my monthly update on upcoming releases and I’m SUPER excited about 2021!
I’ve already semi-finalized the first core release – Containing Malice (releasing in February)— and I absolutely LOVE this story. It makes me laugh and cry and the ending…oh boy, the ending makes me melt. Malice might be a C Model but he is best friends with an E Model and he can TALK when he wants to do that (which is seldom as he is a C Model – grins).
I will be releasing omnibuses of past stories this year (an omnibus containing some of the Cyborg Sizzle stories is releasing in January). I also plan to release some more C.S. Sax short story collections.
But my focus will be on the Rebel Cyborgs series. There will be a story releasing in that series at least every 3 months (I would love to have all 5 stories releasing in 2021 but I don’t think that’s possible, not with the pandemic and taking care of loved ones).
I’m writing the first draft of Under Strain now. Strain is a D Model and one of Cadet’s Rebel Cyborgs. We ‘met’ him in Cyborg Space Exploration but we didn’t know his name then.
Here is my core story release schedule
February 2021 – Containing Malice (Available For Pre-ordering Now)
May 2021 – Under Strain
August 2021 – Baring Grudge
November 2021 – B Free
December 2021 – Valor’s Story
February 2022 – Seizing Power

Warlord’s Return – Ariq’s Name
All the Chameles are named after Khans and other notable individuals in the Mongol Empire. Ariq is no exception to this.
Ariq Böke was a grandson of Genghis Khan. He claimed the title of the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire and ruled for five years while his brothers were away from home.
When one of his brothers returned, that, predictably, created conflict and a civil war. (shakes head) That war didn’t end well for Ariq Böke.
Ariq, the hero of Warlord’s Return, faces a battle also… with his fated mate, Xareni. Our Chamele warrior’s war will end very differently. (grins) Making peace with his battle-happy female will require fewer items of clothing and much more touching.

Warlord’s Return
Ariq is a barbarian warrior seeking a war.
He locates that battle when he meets Xareni.
* * *
Ariq is one of Chamele’s top warriors. A genetic predisposition to fighting, paired with intensive training and experience, has honed the scarred male into an effective killing machine. He loves war, can’t live without combat.
The Succession Wars, however, have finally ended and the Chamele sector is now at peace. Seeking excitement and purpose, the barbarian warrior accompanies his Second to the Refuge, an outlaw settlement on Carinae E. He hopes to locate the battle he’s been craving there.
Ariq finds that conflict and more when he meets his fated mate.
Xareni owes the Ruler of the Refuge a favor. That’s the only reason she has returned to the settlement. She doesn’t like crowds or structures or a certain barbarian warrior who insists on following her everywhere. It doesn’t matter that there’s a connection between them, that he makes her burn with desire, that he looks at her with heat in his dark eyes.
She’s a monster and monsters don’t need anyone.

Warlord’s Return is a STANDALONE Alien Barbarian SciFi Romance featuring a determined barbarian warrior, an equally resolute human female, and an eyeball-eating mini dragon.

Passion Surge – Father’s Day Pick
Becoming a Father is a dream many of the cyborg’s have and Surge is no exception to this. He helped Rage and Joan’s offspring enter the universe, has been fascinated with babies of all kinds since then.
When Surge meet his female and discovers she has a newborn, he is thrilled…as are many of the warriors on the battle station he has been assigned to. Surge happily claims the offspring as his own.
I think that says so much about the cyborgs. They want to love. When they are given that opportunity, they often don’t hesitate to grasp it. They love that being or beings with all of their huge hearts.
***
Passion Surge
This cyborg never expected to become an instant father.
***
Surge is fascinated with newly manufactured offspring. He has studied them extensively, was one of the few medics present when the very first freeborn cyborg entered the universe.
He’s currently assigned to a battle station with an all-male crew. The probability of tending to an offspring is a dismal 0.0000 percent.
That changes when an unknown ship ventures into the sector they’re protecting.
Nu is an extremely exhausted single mom with a fussy newborn daughter. She has no time or energy for anyone or anything else. That includes a cyborg medic with gentle hands, brilliant blue eyes, and a voice deeper than space.
He claims she’s his female, the one being genetically designed for him. She has heard those types of declarations in the past.
Only a warrior without equal—and some much-needed rest—would prompt this universe-weary mom to believe in romantic love again.
***
Passion Surge is a short, light, companion story in the Cyborg Space Exploration series and is meant to be read after Doc’s Orders.
It is also a BBW Cyborg SciFi Romance featuring a medic cyborg, an extremely exhausted single mom, and the adorable little reason for her lack of sleep.

Doc’s Orders Spoiler Page
Reading buddies requested a spoiler page where we could talk about what happened in Doc’s Orders.
If you have any questions or comments, leave a comment on this post.
If you have not read Doc’s Orders, I do NOT recommend you read the comments.
Doc’s Orders
She wants both sides of her cyborg—the medic AND the beast.
A fully functional cyborg is balanced. His machine half and his organic half work together to produce the perfect warrior.
Doc isn’t fully functional.
The G Model operates at the two extremes. When his machine is in complete control, he’s the logic-driven medic, saving lifespans. Once his organics take charge, he becomes the savage beast…and beings die.
Both sides of Doc want to be the first to claim his female.
Allinen is one of the few beings in her small settlement who wasn’t born with a fated mate. Determined to belong somewhere, she has crafted a plan to leave the planet.
That plan doesn’t involve a huge stormy-eyed male who alternates between cool seduction and out-of-control ravishment. Doc isn’t her fated mate. Allinen knows that. But his dual nature and forbidden embraces tempt her to forget forever and indulge in more immediate delights.
Neither side of Doc views their relationship as being temporary. Her conflicted cyborg is prepared to battle her family, her planet and death itself to keep her.

Taking Vengeance and Mummification On Second Buoir
Note: This post is about mummification and WILL feature photos of mummies (i.e. dead people). If this type of topic upsets you, please don’t read this post.
Astrid, the heroine of Taking Vengeance, originates from and now lives on Second Buoir, a small planet. She comes from a warrior tribe and, as a result, death is a big part of her life. Her kinfolk bury their dead (after performing a ritual) and, due to the type of soil found on the planet, the bodies are naturally mummified.
Is this possible?
Most of us know about the Egyptian mummies. Those bodies were specially prepared to ensure mummification. It was often a long and elaborate process.
The floor at the bottom of the display is made of glass. The Mummies can be seen through that glass.
But there ARE many incidents on Earth of people being naturally mummified. The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I recently visited Arica, Chile. In Arica, there were natural mummies found dating from as far back as 5050 BC (the earliest mummies from Egypt date from 3000 BC, 2050 years AFTER the Arica mummies).
One of the Mummies at the Arica, Chile site.
These Arica mummies belonged to the Chinchorro culture and, unlike many cultures, they cared for ALL of their dead in the same way, whether the dead person had held an important role or had been completely dependent upon others. The audio guide stated that the most care was often taken for children, including babies from miscarriages. Bodies were often wrapped in reeds and buried with their possessions.
As the culture advanced, the Chinchorro took additional steps to preserve their dead but about a third of the mummies found were naturally preserved.
As Wikipedia shares ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinchorro_mummies ), “The soil is very rich in nitrates which, when combined with other factors such as the aridity of the Atacama Desert, ensure organic preservation. Salts halt bacterial growth; the hot, dry conditions facilitate rapid desiccation, evaporating all bodily fluids of the corpses. Soft tissues, as a result, dry before they decay and a naturally preserved mummy is left.”
The ‘mummies’ in the photos have been exposed to air (some of them have been exposed for more than 100 years). That, combined with being over 7,000 years old, makes them less mummy-like and more like skeletons. And yes, the hair is real. It survived.
There are other incidences throughout our planet of natural mummification (natural mummification can often occur in clay-heavy ground). Natural mummification, while rare, IS possible.
Many of the Mummies were wrapped in reeds and were buried with their possessions.

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.

Women Invented Computing
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
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.

Poems From The Refuge For Valentine’s Day
Some of the males at the Refuge wrote poems.
They were supposed to be romantic poems for Valentine’s Day.
The males didn’t completely grasp the concept.
(grins)
They’re warriors, not poets.
This is the poem from Balvan, the hero of Dark Strength.
Here’s the poem from Orol, the hero of Dark Flight.
I tried to talk Kralj, the hero of Dark Thoughts, into writing a poem.
I wasn’t successful.
