Over Torque Cover Reveal
I have a cover for Over Torque, the 2022 thank you FREE short story!
This cover was crafted by the always awesome Amanda Kelsey from Razzle Dazzle Design and I love it!
I don’t have anything else. I haven’t crafted a blurb for Over Torque yet. There are no download links (those will be ready in December).
We found out more about Torque in Provoking Odium. He is the warrior happily testing the cyborg sector’s defenses.

Provoking Odium
A Beautiful Cyborg
While accompanying his leader on a mission, Odium, an E Model cyborg, hears a distress call over the communication lines. The voice on that message makes his circuits surge with energy and all his systems light up. 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.
It features a human female intent on remaining mysterious, a cyborg warrior determined to uncover her identity, and an enemy seeking to destroy them both before they have the opportunity to meet.

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.

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)

Tomato Update
We have SO many tomatoes!
Our freezer is stuffed with them. We’ve frozen 30 plus 1.3 L/45 fluid ounce milk bags filled with tomatoes (milk bags are the BEST freezer bags). That’s enough for the entire winter.
The squirrels and the slugs have taken their share and continue to feast.
We’re now happily giving tomatoes away to neighbors and nearby loved ones. It is such a great problem to have.
The bell peppers are almost eatable size. The beans continue to produce. The carrots remain extremely tiny but we still have a couple weeks until first frost.

Muse Food – Ship Figureheads
The cyborgs tend to be very practical beings. They value functionality over almost everything else.
Which is why their ships don’t have many decorative features. Plain vessels are easier to clean and repair.
But I can envision humans and humanoids flying more decorative ships.
Perhaps their vessels sport figureheads similar to the ones the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spotted in the Dockyard Museum in Antigua.
According to the sign, “Despite being viewed as unlucky aboard ship, women were viewed as the best navigators, and the eyes of a female figurehead were thought to be able to find a way through the seas when lost.”

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – September 18th
Grin And Bare Him, the second story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in November) has been sent to my Awesome Formatter aka the Dear Wonderful Hubby. He is super busy with his day job right now but he has that formatting task in his queue.
Over Torque, the December FREE short story, has been sent to my Awesome Editor. She’s super busy also (it IS September, which is a busy time for many people) but it is in her equally long queue.
I’m now back to working on Raw Desires, the third core story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing likely in February). The first draft is zipping along.
Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) In honor of Back To School season here in North American, learn or try something new. Consider treating yourself to a new pen or notebook. Slice up a favorite fruit in kid-sized portions. See the world through fresh eyes!

Cover Reveal For Raw Desires
I have a cover for Raw Desires, the third story in the Cyborg Unity series (likely releasing in February).
This cover was crafted by the awesome Amanda Kelsey from Razzle Dazzle Design and I think it perfectly reflects Raw’s frustration with his cyborg-hating human female. (grins)
When I crafted this post, I didn’t yet have a blurb or buy links or a finished story for Raw Desires.

Using My Fancy Notebooks
Like many writers and readers, I have a HUGE collection of beautiful notebooks. I collect them. I store them. I don’t usually use them.
Until this year.
This year, I decided to start using these gorgeous notebooks. I picked out one and allocated it to my daily to-do lists. It felt very naughty to write in it. It was a bit stressful at first. The notebook was too pretty to use.
But writing in the fancy notebook felt…luxurious, decadent. My to-do lists seemed more special. I enjoyed writing the tasks down…and crossing them off.
Today, I’m writing in the last page of that notebook. My treat for completing my to-do list is picking out the next notebook to use.
And I will ALWAYS have a next notebook to use because I collect them faster than I could ever use them. (grins)
Consider using one of your fancy notebooks. You’re worth it, my friend.
