Muse Food – Deer And The Unusual

By Cynthia Sax on August 28, 2023

A couple months ago (before the wildfires got really bad), the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I visited Victoria, BC.

We saw deer near the edge of a park. The deer were beautiful. We took photos and watched them for a long time.

People would pass us. They’d glance at the deer and continue walking.

I couldn’t believe they didn’t want to watch the deer.

We eventually continued on our trek. And we saw more deer.

And more deer. And more deer.

The deer were everywhere.

The locals didn’t stop and watch the deer because deer weren’t unusual for them. At all.

It was unusual for us because we’re visitors. We don’t often see deer.

I keep that in mind when I write scenes. A local might not comment on the purple trees on an alien planet, for example. A newcomer would comment on them.

Strive For Forever


This cyborg seeks to vanquish an ancient entity and save his curvy human female.

Euryale made a terrible mistake. She opened a container she shouldn’t have touched and released one of the oldest lifeforms in existence. That all-powerful entity is now utilizing her as its host body and is slowly draining her energy.

Soon, she’ll die.

Euryale has accepted this fate and is determined to use her remaining moments in the universe to save as many lives as she can.

Her plans do NOT include a smoldering-hot, poetry-wielding cyborg willing to decimate entire planets to save her.

While under the control of the Humanoid Alliance, Strive, a K Model cyborg, disobeyed direct orders and refused to kill on their behalf. If he hadn’t escaped their cruel clutches, his defiance would have led to his death.

The male knowingly risked that fate to save the lifespans of complete strangers.

There is nothing he wouldn’t do to protect Euryale. The curvy human female is his genetic match, the one being he is destined to defend.

And she is in danger.

Strive would break every vow, cross every boundary, risk absolutely everything to keep her from harm.

Including battle a deity no one has ever defeated.

Strive For Forever is Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features an inspired cyborg, a joke-cracking scientist, and an all-powerful deity with plans of his own.

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.

Many beings in my Cyborg Romances are undergoing huge shifts in their lifespans. Often, they are not only undergoing emotional changes but they are also undergoing changes in physical location. They are relocating. They are escaping from a planet under siege or searching the universe for a place where they belong or leaving their birth planets for some other reason.

Sometimes when I’m looking for inspiration for these stories, I trek to an airport or bus terminal or pier, places where people are constantly arriving and departing.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spotted this monument in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and we had a good chuckle. It is supposed to depict the hardship of immigrants having to leave their families temporarily behind as they search for new homes. But the guy looks so dang eager to leave. (grins) He’s outta there!

This sculpture was situated near the first one. This man isn’t trying to hide his glee. (grins)

Grin And Bare Him

This cyborg will be the warrior his female requires.


Cyborgs are designed to fight. That is their primary purpose and 98.2356 percent of the manufactured warriors enjoy battle. Tremendously.

Grin, a K model, is one of the rare exceptions. When he escaped his cruel creators, he set down his sword and allocated his processors to less violent pursuits. He projects he’s left his war-waging planet rotations behind him forever.

Then he meets his beautiful, beguiling female, the one being he’s destined to protect, to claim, to love for all eternity, and his plans for peace are completely decimated.

Mohini needs a ship.

She has a dangerous mission to complete and the first step in that assignment is arranging transport to an enemy-controlled planet. The vessel she has set her sights on is guarded by the sexiest cyborg she’s ever seen.

To gain access to his ship, Mohini is prepared to kiss, caress, seduce the muscular male. The mission is her focus. The pleasure she experiences will merely be a bonus.

A female has to do what a female has to do to save the universe.


Grin And Bare Him is a Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a humanoid female undertaking a dangerous mission, a cyborg intent on keeping her alive, and an enemy with enough firepower to blow up an entire sector.
