Throwback Thursday – Taking Vengeance
Astrid Ragnhild, the Buoir Berserker, hates all cyborgs. With a vengeance. (grins) See what I did there? (laughs) Anyhoo… she has a good reason for hating the half human, half mechanical warriors.
Vengeance is a cyborg warrior. He’s not only a cyborg warrior. He’s one of their leaders. And he’s as stubborn as Astrid is fierce.
When the two of them meet, there are explosions. Literally. Astrid tries to blow Vengeance up. And shoot his limbs off. And slam him into the ground. And… well… you likely get the battle-filled picture.
Taking Vengeance is a true enemies-to-lovers cyborg romance. Their passion is as consuming as their hate.
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 a STAND-ALONE story.
It is also an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, often violent universe.

Throwback Thursday – Seeking Vector
A wise woman once told me that people who are most different on the inside appear the most normal on the outside.
This is certainly true of Vector, the hero of Seeking Vector. He seems like one VERY uptight cyborg captain. But he has a reason for acting this way – he’s hiding a painful secret.
Kasia, the heroine, loves uncovering secrets. I think Vector senses this and it makes him nervous. It also excites him. (grins)
I love these two together!
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?

Preparing For First Frost
First frost in my corner of the universe is within the first two weeks in October. When that occurs, my tomato plants and my bell pepper plants will die and all the fruit remaining on those plants will spoil.
I don’t know when first frost will truly be. Weather predictions have been wrong in the past.
So I’m picking quite a few of the larger tomatoes while they are green and bringing them inside the house. I place them in shallow cardboard boxes (thank you, chocolate and book deliveries- grins) and will monitor them, waiting for them to ripen.
It takes almost a month for a completely green tomato to ripen inside our house. That means we’ll have fresh tomatoes during the entire month of October, which is AWESOME.
I’m also picking the bell peppers. They remain green and they would be considered a small green pepper in the grocery store but hey, they taste great!
(Next year, I’ll start the bell peppers earlier. I added them to the gardening mix at the last minute this year.)
I’m super happy with the veggie garden this year. I’ll definitely have one again next year.

He has to respond to the mysterious female, would risk his lifespan and the lifespans of everyone on board their ship to protect her.
A Human Female Others Call Beast
Briella gained her nickname due to her flying abilities, her fearlessness, and her scarred countenance. Her verbal-only relationship with the sexy cyborg who answers her distress call is a steamy yet short-lived fantasy. His kind is physically perfect, and she is…not. He will uncover that truth when…if they survive the attack upon her freighter.
Provoking Odium is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

Female Friends
At the beginning of Provoking Odium, Briella, the heroine, is alone in the universe. She has intentionally emotionally isolated herself, fearing she would be hurt, would be rejected yet again.
At the end of Provoking Odium, Briella has Odium, a male she trusts with all of her. (This isn’t a spoiler as I clearly state Provoking Odium is a romance.)
But as importantly, Briella has friends, female friends. Mohini, the heroine of Grin And Bare Him (releasing in November), befriends her. As do some of the females she meets on Mercury Minor.
IMHO… friendships are very important for our emotional wellbeing. That includes virtual friendships.
I consider many of you to be my friends and I value our relationships. (big hugs)

Muse Food – Thunderbird House Post
I love practical items that also serve decorative and/or religious/cultural purposes.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby spotted this beautiful house post in a Vancouver-area park.
As per the sign…
“Thunderbird House Post
Carved house posts are used in traditional First Nations cedar houses to support the huge roof beams.
This pole is a replica of a house post carved by Kwakwaka’wakw artist Charlie James in the early 1900s.
Tony Hunt carved this replica in 1987 to replace the older pole now in the Vancouver Museum.
James experimented with colours and techniques creating a bold new style that has influenced generations of artists including his step-son Mungo Martin and grand-daughter Ellen Neel.”
According to the sign, the post depicts a grizzly bear holding a human.
***
Cyborgs, in the past, wouldn’t have ever considered carving gorgeous images into their structures’ support beams.
They tended to focus on the functional. Their weapons were plain. Their structures were devoid of decoration.
The warriors’ views are changing, however, as they meet their genetic matches and experience different cultures. Some of the cyborgs (like Strive) are also exploring their creative sides.
I expect beauty will be a consideration going forward.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – September 25th
Grin And Bare Him, the second story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in November), has been loaded at booksellers. It should be good to go on release day. (grins)
Over Torque, this year’s FREE thank you short story (ready for download in December), remains with my Awesome Editor.
I continue to craft the first draft of Raw Desires, the third story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in February). Stars. Raw’s story is action-packed. I’m loving it!
Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Touch a leaf. That connection with nature, according to research, is good for many of us. Listen to the wind. Smell a brand new print book. Engage your senses.

Start Of Fall/Autumn
I know yesterday was officially the first day of Fall/Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere but I have been thinking Autumn thoughts since September 1st. (grins)
It is time to wind down the garden for 2022 but also prepare it for Spring 2023.
I read a recent study that revealed bumblebees, due to climate change, were emerging from their homes before the flowers they normally live off presented themselves. This is causing them great strife.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I are planting crocus, hoping the Mafia Squirrels don’t eat those bulbs (We bought the squirrel resistant kind but that only slows the furry little menaces. They don’t stop them.). Crocus, in my area of the world, often bloom before the snow melt and the bumblebees LOVE them.
To prepare for Autumn, I’m also breaking out the sweaters so we’re ready for the cooler weather. (smiles) And we’re stocking up on apple cider.

Throwback Thursday – Ghost Of A Machine
Ghost is one of my favorite cyborgs. He is so very broken. His ‘gift’, when we first meet him, has become a curse. He is haunted by all the beings he hasn’t been able to save. The emotional damage that has caused him has turned him into a beast, operating on instinct alone.
Lethe, his female, is the only being who can reach his shattered brain and disconnected processors. She is attracted to him, of course. Who wouldn’t be? (grins) But she also wants the ship he has ‘captured.’
Lethe and Ghost are magical together. The pain they’ve both endured makes their bond even tighter.
Fragile. Stubborn. His.
Ghost, a C Model cyborg, has disconnected his machine from his human side. Severely damaged, he knows two things—the curvy human female on his ship belongs to him and he must keep her safe. He’ll stop at nothing to protect her, claim her, make her his.
Primitive. Damaged. Hers.
Lethe has seen the savage side of beings. The courageous Rebel captain has never met a male like Ghost. Overpoweringly dominant, he appeals to her on a primal level, filling her mind with thoughts of sweet surrender, hard kisses, and body-heating encounters against the warship’s walls.
They are two broken beings, one determined to protect, the other intent on flying into danger. Can love heal them both before they face their common enemy?
Ghost Of A Machine is Book 9 in the Cyborg Sizzle series and is a STAND-ALONE story.
It is also a BBW Cyborg SciFi Romance.

Grin And Bare Him And Briella
Mohini, the heroine of Grin And Bare Him, the second story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in November), has claimed Briella, the heroine of Provoking Odium, as a best buddy.
Briella will be mentioned in Grin And Bare Him but she won’t make an appearance in that story.
Why won’t she appear on page?
Because Grin And Bare Him occurs while Briella and Odium are away from Mercury Minor, while they are trekking to Briella’s birth planet.
Mohini will be thinking about Briella, however. They ARE best friends. (grins)
