Under Strain Cover And Blurb Reveal
Woot! I have a cover and a not-yet-edited-or-refined blurb for Under Strain, the second story in the Cyborg Rebels series (releasing in May)!
This cover was crafted by the always awesome Amanda Kelsey from Razzle Dazzle Design and I love it!
Note: Amazon was the first to list Under Strain (as always – grins) but the other booksellers will hopefully be listing it soon. (Hopefully as it IS the holiday season and some of them partially close during this time of year.)
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 of a horrific decision made by his cruel manufacturers. He hates all humans and when he attacks one placed under his cyborg leader’s protection, he is reprimanded, stripped of his weapons, told to watch and not actively participate in the next mission.
That mission takes him to a small remote planet. Its lush terrain should only be inhabited by the cyborgs they were sent to rescue. 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 capture, kiss, claim her.
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 knows 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.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – December 20th
I am in the home stretch of the first draft of Under Strain, the second Rebel Cyborgs story (releasing in May, at the latest). Woot! I will be completing Chapter 16 today and have Chapter 17 and Chapter 18 planned for Monday and Tuesday.
This first draft is a hot mess. All of my first drafts are disasters. But I already know I’ll love it. Strain and his female have such a unique relationship and it works beautifully for them. I can’t wait for you to read this story!
After I finish this first draft, I will likely take a break writing-wise until mid-January. We’re still in lockdown in my section of the universe so it will just be the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I over the holidays. I have SO MANY books I want to read (my eldest brother alone has given me THIRTY new historical romance novels for the holidays – yes, that’s outrageous) and there are movies and TV shows I want to watch (I haven’t yet watched the season finale of The Mandalorean. I hear it is a tearjerker.).
Have a great week and wonderful and safe holidays, my friends! (big hugs) We’ll talk about 2021 next week. (whispers – it is going to ROCK book-wise) Enjoy the week and know you are loved.

Holding Hoarse
This cyborg warrior WILL become worthy of love.
* * *
Hoarse hasn’t found his female, the one being manufactured for him. There is only one reason he can process for his lack of success—he isn’t yet worthy of claiming a female.
The big C Model is determined to change that status. He considers ulu, or doll, fabrication to be an essential part of mate preparation. Seeking to hone his skills, he contacts a reclusive doll maker and asks her to train him.
He doesn’t realize the being he is sharing his deficiencies with is his destined mate.
Arlicia desires a male whose face she has never seen. Her new trainee’s persistence, intelligence, and curiosity warrant admiration. His deep voice evokes visions of passionate kisses and heated embraces. His large hands cause her to quiver with wanting.
Before their professional relationship ends, she wants to rendezvous with Hoarse. The curious doll maker hopes for a glimpse of the huge warrior.
When a cyborg intent on being the perfect mate meets the female who knows all his secrets, garments are shed, illusions shatter, and beings die.
***
Holding Hoarse is a short, light, companion story in the Cyborg Space Exploration series and is meant to be read after Testing Truth.
It is also a BBW Cyborg SciFi Romance featuring an intense C Model warrior, an understanding doll maker, and packs of imperfect toys seeking loving homes.

A Gift For Yourself
This holiday season, when you’re choosing gifts or creating experiences or making cookies (grins) for loved ones, treat yourself also.
It doesn’t have to be a big gift. A piece of decadent chocolate might be the perfect indulgence. Or taking the time to read the next page of an awesome romance novel. Or pausing for a moment to inhale the tantalizing scent of the gingerbread cookies you just took out of the oven.
Give yourself something. It has been a challenging year. You deserve indulgence and love.
As flight attendants would tell us in the Before Times, back when we could travel safely, we should put on our own oxygen masks before helping others. It is the same way with the holidays. We need to experience our own joy before sharing it with our loved ones.
Take care of yourself this holiday season. (big hugs) Put treating yourself at the top of your to-do list.

Wintery Alien Worlds
It is quite snowy in my part of the universe today. It looks like a winter wonderland outside my window. The blanket of sparkling white over everything is beautiful.
There are writers who have crafted some equally wonderful wintery alien worlds. Ruby Dixon, for example, has her awesome Ice Planet Barbarian series and spinoff series.
I have one alien/cyborg romance story set on an ice-covered planet.
One. (Warlord Reunited.)
Why?
Because I live in Canada and snow is my reality for a good portion of the year. (This is changing rapidly and noticeably with climate change, unfortunately, but for now, the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I have snow.) I’m currently typing this post wearing my fingerless gloves and I haven’t seen the sun in over a week.
Writing is an escape for me so I usually choose to go somewhere where there is sun and warmth. There’s often sand because water is at a premium throughout the universe and I don’t expect that will ever change. And it is much easier to have sexy times in warm places. Clothing can be shed and no one has to worry about bits being frozen off. (grins)

Holding Hoarse And Visiting With Old Friends
Holding Hoarse, my gift to you this year, is the last story in the Cyborg Space Exploration part of the Cyborg Romance Continuum.
There will be many more cyborg stories shared, of course. We still have Power’s explosive story to enjoy. (grins) We’ll be meeting new cyborgs in 2021. I am REALLY looking forward to sharing the next generation’s stories.
But these stories will officially reside in other subseries. (Power’s story is the fifth one in the upcoming Rebel Cyborgs subseries).
Some reading buddies have asked, “Will we see Hoarse and Relay and Surge and all the other cyborg warriors and their females again?”
YES! We will definitely see them when I share the next generation’s stories. Future, Vector and Kasia’s son, will likely have his story told in that subseries, for example. We’ll also briefly hear from many cyborgs during Power’s story in the Rebel Cyborgs subseries. They might also make surprise appearances in other stories.
And, if you are a newsletter subscriber, you always have the ability to request updates for characters. When I have a free slot in the newsletter, I’ll share the update you request. (Let me know if you want to be credited for requesting the update.)
You can visit with these old friends whenever you like. (big hugs)

Holding Hoarse And Rag Dolls
In Holding Hoarse, Hoarse and Arlicia create soft-formed dolls or ulus from new materials. The original rag dolls here on Earth, however, were made from exactly that—rags.
Rags are inexpensive. Everyone has clothing that has worn out.
But they are also meaningful because often those clothes meant something to the maker and to the recipient.
When my Granddad died, for example, my Grandma made simple ragdolls from his worn-out dress shirts and gave them to her then very much grown children. My Awesome Mom still takes out that doll to this day and touches and smells it whenever she is missing her parents.
My craftsy Grandma was also a superb chocolate chip cookie maker. She would make rag dolls from the cloth flour bags. She gave those to all the kids in her life and we loved them.
There are a gazillion ways to make rag dolls. These methods range from simple, fast and easy, requiring very little skills to complicated and time-involving, requiring sewing skills.
One of the easiest, quickest, no skills required rag doll my Grandma would make (and we would all love) consisted of…
Forming a ball with some tiny scraps of fabric.
Wrapping a larger piece of fabric around that ‘head’ and securing it with a piece of yarn or string or elastic.
Using a pen or marker to make eyes, a nose, a mouth. (She would add hair and other details if she had the time or energy.)
The rest of the fabric was the body. (She would sometimes layer different fabrics with the palest piece on top and that would make the body fancier.)
Bam. She had a doll to give to a grandchild.
She had also created love.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – December 13th
When I was a kid, we had real trees. We usually sourced them from the back yard. (grins) That’s how we roll in the country. Most of our land was an informal ‘tree lot.’
My Awesome Mom now lives in an apartment and she likes to keep the tree up for months. An artificial tree allows her to do that.
What I do, every year, is order her a small arrangement involving evergreen tree branches from the local florist. That way, her apartment has that real tree smell (and it also supports local business).
That arrangement arrived yesterday and my Awesome Mom was super happy.
This past week, I also wrote six chapters in Under Strain, the second Rebel Cyborgs story (releasing in May). This first draft is a hot mess. (sheepish grin) My first drafts are always chaotic. But I love this couple. The story is action-packed. And some of the scenes make me cry so hard.
I think you’ll love it…ONCE I carve it completely out of the mud it is buried in. (laughs) That’s part of the fun of writing. I know there’s a story under all that guck but I have to find it.
This week, I’ll be writing the next six chapters of Under Strain. I hope to have this first draft completed before my holidays start. Then I will take a break from writing (if the story allows me to do this) and spend some quality time with the Dear Wonderful Hubby.
We are in lockdown in our part of the universe. That means the holidays will be celebrated with loved ones via Zoom and the phone and the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I will share meals for two. We already have a turkey breast, Stovetop Stuffing, and an assortment of cookies my Awesome Mom made and mailed to us. Our holidays will be lovely but different and everyone will be safer for it.
As the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I often discuss, we should embrace this quieter holiday season because next year, once everyone is vaccinated, the world will likely host a series of parties the likes of which we have never seen. We want to be healthy and rested for that celebration!

Holding Hoarse And Ripples
In Holding Hoarse, the ship Hoarse, the hero, is serving on passes by Nereid Negative One. The Captain refuses Relay’s request to land on the planet because it is too dangerous. Truth and Dissent had killed many of the locals during their time there in Testing Truth. The remaining locals are, as a result, extremely hostile toward all cyborgs.
One of the (many) fun things about writing numerous stories set in the same universe is actions in present stories impact future stories. The cyborgs, for example, know about modified humanoids because Mayhem stopped in the Refuge in Chasing Mayhem. Cyborgs share information. If they meet with modified humanoids in the future (it IS a small universe – grins), they will have that history and it will impact that meeting.
I LOVE this. I do write my longer stories so they can be read on their own but these little insights make the stories more fun for me to write and, I think, for dedicated reading buddies to read.

Holding Hoarse And Honoring Teachers
Two of my Awesome Sisters are teachers. I know how challenging this year has been for them. They’ve had to change their teaching plans again and again. They worry about their students getting ill. They worry about them falling behind. They worry that, due to all the other changes, they might not be as present for them as they’d like. They’re doing their best in a trying situation and I honor their actions, their dedication, their commitment.
In the cyborg world, teachers are called experts (because that is what they are). In Holding Hoarse, Arlicia’s best buddy, Zella, is an expert at a small academy.
Zella has her hands full. (grins) She has a diverse class with kids from a variety of species and cultures and she is trying to teach them during the Harvest Celebration. The kids have been eating the equivalent of candy all planet rotation and are super hyper.
I suspect this is what many teachers here on Earth are dealing with right now. The holidays are approaching. Kids are extremely excited about that and they have more energy than usual.
I appreciate all teachers do during ‘normal’ times (whatever normal truly is) but I’m especially grateful for all they’ve done this year. Thank you to everyone in teaching roles (including support staff and parents who are teaching kids from home)!

Upcoming Cynthia Sax Releases
It is time for my monthly update on upcoming releases and I’m SUPER excited about 2021!
I’ve already semi-finalized the first core release – Containing Malice (releasing in February)— and I absolutely LOVE this story. It makes me laugh and cry and the ending…oh boy, the ending makes me melt. Malice might be a C Model but he is best friends with an E Model and he can TALK when he wants to do that (which is seldom as he is a C Model – grins).
I will be releasing omnibuses of past stories this year (an omnibus containing some of the Cyborg Sizzle stories is releasing in January). I also plan to release some more C.S. Sax short story collections.
But my focus will be on the Rebel Cyborgs series. There will be a story releasing in that series at least every 3 months (I would love to have all 5 stories releasing in 2021 but I don’t think that’s possible, not with the pandemic and taking care of loved ones).
I’m writing the first draft of Under Strain now. Strain is a D Model and one of Cadet’s Rebel Cyborgs. We ‘met’ him in Cyborg Space Exploration but we didn’t know his name then.
Here is my core story release schedule
February 2021 – Containing Malice (Available For Pre-ordering Now)
May 2021 – Under Strain
August 2021 – Baring Grudge
November 2021 – B Free
December 2021 – Valor’s Story
February 2022 – Seizing Power
