Cyborg Valentine’s Day Wishes

By Cynthia Sax on February 14, 2026

In the past, I’ve asked the cyborgs, the modified humanoids and the Chameles if they wished to share Valentine’s Day poems with you.

They didn’t quite understand the meaning of the holiday. (grins) But I thought you might enjoy their attempts.

Here’s one from Truth from Testing Truth…

Truth loves his human princess.

They share a link.

For her, he’d do anything

Even wear pink.

***

Here is an interesting one from Cadet from Seizing Power…

The universe is huge.  

The size of space is vast.

When Cadet meets Power,

She’ll kick his a$$.

***

This is from all of the cyborgs…

Roses Are Red.

Cyborgs Are Strong.

Choosing One As Your Warrior

Can Never Be Wrong.

***

And here’s a poem from Balvan from Dark Thoughts

Roses are red.

Gatekeepers are green.

Balvan is the biggest male

You have ever seen.

***

And Kralj from Dark Thoughts wrote a poem.

Roses are red.

Rulers don’t rhyme.

If you expect a poem from Kralj,

You’ll be waiting a long time.

***

Have a wonderful day, my friends!

Know that you are much loved.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – October 19

By Cynthia Sax on October 19, 2025

I continue to have fun with my super secret project. It gives me so much joy and that’s a gift on its own. (smiles)

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Write your to-do list or other notes to yourself in a different colored ink. Research shows writing in different colors stimulates different parts of our brains. So this is like a little workout for your gray matter. (grins)

Containing Malice

This tormented cyborg craves vengeance…and her.

***

Malice, a C Model cyborg, has spent his long lifespan enslaved by the Humanoid Alliance. His cruel manufacturers have hurt him in all the ways a male could be hurt.

His enemy has now added a new weapon to their arsenal—a tiny human medic with soft hands and a delectable scent. She experiments on him multiple times a shift, delivering pain…and frustration.

He wants her. He also seeks retribution.

Once Malice frees himself, he plans to achieve both of his goals, taking Medic Illona captive and ending her research…permanently.

Illona is as much a prisoner as the cyborgs she experiments on. Since her arrival at the Human Alliance’s secret laboratory, she has carefully, stealthily, crafted a plot to free her test subjects. To conceal her covert activities, the medic has been forced to harm beings rather than heal them.

The being she has damaged the most is also the cyborg she fiercely desires— Malice, a huge, gray-skinned, blue-eyed C Model with massive hands and a voice deeper than space. He hates her, has good reason to do so, and, when he’s freed, there’s a high probability he’ll kill her.

Illona will take that risk to ensure he survives.

***

Containing Malice is a STANDALONE enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It is the first of five core stories in the Rebel Cyborgs Series.

Book 1: Containing Malice
Book 2: Under Strain

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – August 24

By Cynthia Sax on August 24, 2025

The publishing landscape is changing so much and so quickly. I don’t know if you’ll be able to read the Moonbeam Duets when they go live. But I’ve loaded them to booksellers and I’m hoping for the best.

(smiles)

And I continue to work on my fun secret writing project. It gives me joy.

When I started writing, I never imagined anyone else would ever read my stories. I was writing for myself.

It seems…destined that I’m back to writing purely for myself, not knowing if anyone else will ever read my stories.

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Do something purely for yourself. Don’t worry about what others will think about it. Or if it will earn a gazillion dollars. Or make other people happy. Do it for yourself. You’re worth it!

Under Strain

A damaged cyborg warrior is hunted by a peace-loving human female.

***

Strain is severely malfunctioning. The D Model cyborg was the sole survivor after a horrific decision was made by his cruel manufacturers. He hates all humans, and when he attacks one who is under his cyborg leader’s protection, he is reprimanded, stripped of his weapons, and told to watch and not actively participate in the next mission.

That mission takes place on a small remote planet. Its lush terrain should only be inhabited by the cyborgs they were sent to rescue, but Strain senses another presence on the surface. She is watching him, tracking him, hunting him.

A fully operational cyborg would end her lifespan.

Strain wants to claim her. Forever.

Kamyelle is the only one left of her kind. Warriors have killed the other nonviolent human inhabitants of her planet. She survived…barely…by hiding in the trees, observing her enemies, and covering herself with lifeform scan-concealing mud.

When a handsome, gray-skinned, brilliant-blue-eyed male arrives, surrounded by weapon-carrying warriors, she has to save him. Warriors harm and they kill. That is what they do.

She won’t allow them to hurt Strain.

***

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

It features a broken warrior, a human female who thinks he’s perfect, and velociraptor-like dinosaurs who view them both as light, tasty snacks.

Throwback Thursday – Baring Grudge

By Cynthia Sax on August 21, 2025

Cyborgs were manufactured to be perfect warriors. They were decommissioned when they were permanently injured in battle and no longer looked perfect.

Grudge is well aware he doesn’t look perfect. He has mismatched arms.

He sees his imperfections as weaknesses.

When he meets his human female, he soon realizes they can be strengths.


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.

***

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

It features a determined, damaged warrior, an equally resolute human female, and an explosive game of predator and prey played across galaxies.

Baring Grudge is the third of five core stories in the Rebel Cyborgs Series.

I continue to craft the first Moonbeam Duet. It WILL be published this month. I am determined to ignore the super fun new writing project and complete all the little not-as-exciting-yet-very-much-necessary tasks that need to be done.

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Are there some small tasks on your to-do list that are lingering and need to be completed? Do them. You’ll free that mental space for fun things. And you’ll feel SO much better. (smiles)

Throwback Thursday – Under Strain

By Cynthia Sax on August 14, 2025

I LOVE dinosaurs!

I also love the times in which they lived – the strange plants, the huge insects, the mysteries in the seas, all of it. I view the Earth as it was then as being very similar to an alien plant. Everything was different and fantastical, almost myth-like.

In Under Strain, that alien planet is the human heroine’s home.

Throwback Thursday – Containing Malice

By Cynthia Sax on August 7, 2025

Malice and one of his brethren have been trapped in an underground Humanoid Alliance laboratory for a long, LONG time.

He doesn’t know his other brethren have freed themselves from the Humanoid Alliance. He doesn’t know cyborgs have genetic matches and those genetic matches are often human females. He doesn’t know cyborgs can manufacture offspring.

He doesn’t know they have HOPE.

All he hopes for is revenge.

The target for Malice’s revenge is the female doctor experimenting on him.

His genetic match.

Throwback Thursday – Baring Grudge

By Cynthia Sax on December 5, 2024

I LOVE blowing things up on page. (grins)

Planets. Buildings. Spaceships. Beings.

Big Badda Boom (<–Fifth Element reference).

Both the hero (Grudge) and heroine (Taelyn) of Baring Grudge love blowing things up also. Taelyn is attempting to blow up a space station with Grudge in it at the beginning of Baring Grudge.

This is TRUE enemies-to-lovers. It also has found family as there is a young stowaway on Taelyn’s ship. Baring Grudge is SO MUCH FUN. (smiles)

Under Strain features an extremely broken cyborg warrior, a human female who courageously wants to save him from their mutual enemies, and DINOSAURS.

Throwback Thursday – Containing Malice

By Cynthia Sax on November 21, 2024

If one of your favorite cyborg romances is Releasing Rage, I suspect you’ll love Containing Malice also.

Malice has been trapped in an underground Humanoid Alliance laboratory. He doesn’t realize his cyborg brethren are free. He doesn’t realize cyborgs have genetic matches. He doesn’t realize they can have kids.

And he definitely doesn’t believe in hope.

He’s angry and frustrated and in pain and a significant portion of that emotional turmoil is directed at the human female forced to experiment on him.

This tormented cyborg craves vengeance…and her.
