Throwback Thursday – North Bound

By Cynthia Sax on February 15, 2024

Every time I think about North Bound, I smile. It is such a fun story.

Sure, North, the cyborg hero, is a bit serious. But his heroine, Myrina the Magnificent, is over the top in all the best ways. And Steve, the male-eating plant ruler of Myrina’s home planet, is absolutely amazing.

I love this story and I think you’ll love it also. (smiles)

North Bound

A mission-focused cyborg battles a captivating and dramatic distraction.

***

North, the second-in-command of a cyborg crew, has two priorities—he has to explore and collect data on Balazoid Minor, a small planet in their sector, and he must bring his three-being team back to the ship alive and fully functional.

When he encounters his brash, bravado-wielding female, the one being genetically designed for him, he recognizes her for what she is—a distraction that might get him and his brethren killed. He WILL claim her, but only on his terms, when his mission is complete and everyone he is responsible for protecting is safe.

Myrina the Magnificent is the best warrior on her planet and possibly the universe. She has captured an unparalleled fourteen males for her all-female tribe. Once she has secured the fifteenth male, she will be a legend. Her name will live forever. She’ll earn the undying adoration of her sisters. Glory will be hers.

The male in her sights—and in her snare—is a huge, gray-skinned, blue-eyed cyborg with a skill for war and lips designed for kissing. One emotionally charged battle is all it takes for Myrina to realize she wants North for herself. She won’t share his caresses with anyone.

Their forbidden love might be destined to be, but it won’t be easy to maintain. Myrina will have to fight her sisters, an all-powerful male-eating plant, and her cyborg’s unbending will to make North hers and hers alone.

***

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

It is the fifth of six core stories in the Cyborg Space Exploration Series.

Throwback Thursday – Dominance And Dissent

By Cynthia Sax on February 8, 2024

Dissent is a bad a$$ cyborg. He looks tough. He’s a skilled warrior.

And he has a softness for small defenseless creatures. (smiles)

Greer isn’t a small defenseless creature but she IS fighting to free herself from some terrible beings. And she’s Dissent’s genetic match. His protectiveness is thrown into overdrive around her.

And the baby creature they adopt as their own.

Dominance And Dissent

To earn the love of his curvy human, this cyborg will have to set her free.
***
Dissent has one primary mission—to find his female and protect her.

He doesn’t know who she is, where she’s situated, or what she looks like. That doesn’t stop him from searching the universe for her. He’s a cyborg and he’s determined. He WILL track her down.

While the J Model warrior is exploring a settlement on a merchant planet, he hears a defiant scream. Dissent has finally located the one being he’s genetically compatible with. He rushes to his little human’s side, ready and willing to defend her, eager to claim his female…forever.

Greer has only one dream—to be free. She’s been a slave her entire lifespan, has been subjected to soul-crushing abuse and pride-shredding humiliation. When an opportunity to escape presents itself, she takes it. Steps away from independence, she’s apprehended.

As she looks death in the face, waiting for the final strike, a tall, handsome cyborg warrior saves her. He exudes power, makes her tremble with desire, is unlike any of the males she’s ever known…except in one heartbreaking way.

He wants to own her.

As Dissent and Greer battle for dominance, danger looms. An enemy from the past has returned. He’s heavily armed, he’s not alone, and his sole goal is to kill both of them.
***
Dominance And Dissent is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features an overprotective cyborg, a defiant slave, and a ravenous baby creature who is determined to eat his way through an entire settlement.

Throwback Thursday – North Bound

By Cynthia Sax on July 20, 2023

Steve, the male-eating plant ruler of Balazoid Minor in North Bound, is one of my favorite characters I’ve ever had the good fortunate to write about. He doesn’t speak but he expresses himself VERY clearly and he is so fraggin’ arrogant. I love him.

North and Myrina the Magnificent are awesome also. They are wonderful apart and they are even better when they join forces and fall in love.

North Bound is a fun story and a complete escape from everything around us. (smiles)

Throwback Thursday – Dominance And Dissent

By Cynthia Sax on July 13, 2023

One of the (many) things I love about Dominance And Dissent is Dissent’s relationship and love for Nibbler, the baby miljoonasuut he rescues from a vendor.

The average person wouldn’t view miljoonasuuts as lovable creatures. They are huge terrestrial crustaceans, similar to the tiny pill bugs/rollie pollies/potato bugs we have here on Earth.

Yet Dissent LOVES them.

Because Dissent loves almost all creatures (the Humanoid Alliance being one of the few exceptions). He has space in his huge cyborg heart for many entities.

Including, of course, Greer, his equally generous human female. He adores her, would trade his lifespan for hers with any hesitation.

Dominance And Dissent

To earn the love of his curvy human, this cyborg will have to set her free.

I Saved A Life Today

By Cynthia Sax on April 18, 2023

It was the life of a pill bug, which is a much smaller version of the miljoonasuuts from Dominance And Dissent. The pill bug was inside the house and would have been stepped on and smushed. I relocated him outside the house, in the garden, and he scurried away happily.

Saving that life might not seem like a big deal to us.

But it meant the world to that little pill bug. (smiles)

Your small kindnesses might not seem like a big deal to you either.

But I suspect they are greatly appreciated by others.

I grew up around moose so it likely isn’t a surprise I write stories set on alien planets. Moose are alien looking creatures. (grins)

They’re HUGE. That vending machine in the background of this photo of a preserved moose in Wawa, Ontario, Canada? It is full size.

If a car hits a moose, the car is totalled and the driver is likely dead. Shotgun (riding in the passenger seat) is a serious role up north. The number one task of every shotgun person is looking for moose.

Moose are also the top of the food chain, even though they eat vegetation. Nothing messes with a full grown healthy moose and that includes bears.

Moose don’t know fear. They’re armed with a solid set of antlers, long legs and deadly hooves. AND they know how to use them.

I find moose…inspiring. And I have a healthy respect for them.

Throwback Thursday – North Bound

By Cynthia Sax on December 15, 2022

North Bound features one of my all time favorite secondary characters – Steve, the male-eating plant ruler of Balazoid Minor.

Steve respects Myrina the Magnificent, the heroine of the story. He eventually grows to respect North, the cyborg hero, though he never truly likes him. (grins) The two of them are too similar for that.

This is an enemies-to-lovers romance with plenty of action and explosions and, of course, hot passion.

Throwback Thursday – Dominance And Dissent

By Cynthia Sax on December 8, 2022

As the weather in my corner of the universe grows colder (shivers), my reading tends to skew toward romances set on hot planets. If you’re the same way, Dominance And Dissent might be the cyborg romance for it.

The story is set on a hot, dry planet. The planet has bustling marketplaces and settlements.

Dissent finds his genetic match in one of those marketplaces. While he’s seeking to free a creature from his cage, he hears a cry for help and he must answer it.

That decision will change his lifespan forever.

It is summer in my corner of the world. I’ve put in a vegetable garden this year and every time I tend to it, I think of Steve, the male-eating plant ruler of Balazoid Minor. He appears in North Bound and has a love-hate relationship with North, the cyborg hero.

Myrina the Magnificent has a love-hate relationship with North also. She tries to capture him. Multiple times.

Throwback Thursday – Dominance And Dissent

By Cynthia Sax on June 9, 2022

Dissent, the cyborg hero of Dominance And Dissent, looks like a bada$$. And he can be one when that is required. But he also has a nurturing gentle side and an affinity for hard-to-love creatures.

His love for these creatures leads him to his fated mate. Greer is a fellow bada$$. She has escaped her cruel captors and desperately needs both sides of Dissent – the warrior and the nurturer.

These two are magical together. And the baby creature they ‘adopt’ is as adorable as they are.
