Trigger Warnings For Provoking Odium
Woot! It is almost release day!
If you’ve pre-ordered Provoking Odium, booksellers will likely send it to you tonight. If you prefer to buy books on release day, well…that’s tomorrow for Provoking Odium. (grins)
As with many of my cyborg romances, this story is set during times of war. Beings don’t die on page in Provoking Odium (not that I can remember) but there are some vivid flashbacks. And this story might be triggering for those of us with food insecurities. (big hugs) Deprivation is, unfortunately, part of war.
But Provoking Odium is a romance and, of course, has a romantic happy ending. There are some laughs, a whole lot of sexiness, some friendship and much love.
I think you’ll enjoy this story.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – June 19th
Provoking Odium releases on Tuesday (Monday night if you’ve pre-ordered it)! Woot! That’s the big excitement this week. I can’t wait for you to read it. (tackle hugs)
Between the new release celebrations, I’ll continue to work on Grin And Bare Him, the second story in the Cyborg Unity series. Progress on it has been admittedly slow. I’ve been distracted with personal issues. But I love Grin and his heroine. They are magical together.
Have a wonderful week, my friends. (more hugs) Take a break during the work days. Dance a little in your chair. Look up at the stars at night. And know that you are loved.

Provoking Odium And Pre-Ordering
You might wish to pre-order Provoking Odium.
Why?
Because if you pre-order Provoking Odium, you will likely receive the eBook on Monday night, not Tuesday morning. I love getting books a bit early!
And, if you pre-order this cyborg romance, you can avoid spoilers. There WILL be some spoilers.
Provoking Odium is a standalone romance but it does set up the action in the rest of the series. The Humanoid Alliance is up to some badness. (grins)

If You Wish To Re-read Some Stories
Provoking Odium releases on Tuesday (If you’ve pre-ordered it, you should receive it Monday night.)! Woot!
Provoking Odium is crafted to be read on its own. You don’t need to read any of the other cyborg romances I’ve written to enjoy this story.
But I know some buddies (tackle hugs) like to re-read stories.
The story you would benefit most from re-reading is Seizing Power. That is when Odium first hears his female’s voice. That scene will be repeated in Provoking Odium but from Odium’s perspective, which I always find interesting. (He is NOT a fan of Power – grins)
Another story you might wish to re-read is Under Strain. We first meet Odium in that story and it will explain why he loathes Power so very much. He has a good reason for feeling that way about the cyborg council leader.
I’m really looking forward to sharing Provoking Odium with you on Tuesday!

Concealed In The Vegetation
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I were trekking around Newport, Rhode Island recently and we saw this awesome tree (and mansion but mostly the tree – grins).
I love how we can see the trunk and branches through the greenery.
And I could envision a cyborg warrior camouflaging himself this way.
Imagine walking along a path at dusk and approaching a tree. At first, we think it is a normal tree. But then we look closer and we see the trunk and branches are in the shape of a huge cyborg warrior.
He is gripping daggers in both hands and he is glaring right at us.
(shivers with excitement)

Provoking Odium And What We Notice First
When Briella, the human heroine of Provoking Odium, meets someone for the first time, the first thing she notices about them is their eyes. That’s where her gaze is drawn.
And that little detail tells us so much about her.
She’s extremely self-conscious about her own eyes. Having been judged in the past for her eyes, she places quite a bit of importance on them.
I usually notice and describe hair first. I was the sole brunette in a family of redheads and my hair was always remarked on…for being unremarkable. (grins) I also like to touch…everything. And hair always looks soft.
What do you notice first?

Provoking Odium – Fourth Scene Of The First Chapter
Provoking Odium, the first story in the Cyborg Unity series, is releasing next week! Woot!
Today, I’m sharing the fourth and final scene from the very first chapter.
You can read the first scene here:
***
Metal shrieked as the freighter’s wings scraped the stone. They burst free of the funnel. The ship spun. She fought, fought, fought to level their flight. It took all the strength in her body.
But she did it. Their trajectory straightened. The strain on her arms eased.
They had escaped the dormant volcano, the planet and, temporarily, the Humanoid Alliance.
“Take that, asshats.” Briella slapped the console. Her success made her giddy.
It didn’t make her stupid. Or careless.
The Humanoid Alliance might send out ships to pursue them. That had happened in the past.
She continued to monitor their surroundings and didn’t slow her freighter’s speed, while she celebrated. “I pulled off the impossible. That warrants some tunes.”
She pressed the button and music filled the bridge.
“There’s nothing left of mine.” She sang with everything she had. Her heart pounded in her chest. She was high on danger, grateful to be alive. “Ohhhhhhh…”
“Are you hurt?”
“Fuck.” Briella hastily donned her goggles and muted her music yet again. “What the fuck did I tell you? The bridge is off-limits.”
“I thought you were in pain.” Mohini lowered herself gracefully into the chair next to hers. “I heard moaning.” Her fingers fluttered against her chest. “It was such a horrible sound.”
“That wasn’t moaning, you unappreciative music hater.” Briella shook her head. “I was singing.”
The female’s eyes widened. “It was—”
“It was horrible. I heard you.” Briella loved singing, didn’t want to hear any criticism of her vocal abilities. “Go back to your chambers. There are nourishment bars, containers of beverage, a medic pack if you need it—everything you should require.”
Silence stretched.
Her unwanted guest didn’t leave.
Briella tapped her fingertips against the console. She was tempted to blast the music again and frighten the Praecipuan away with her horrible singing.
“Look at me.” Mohini dared to issue a command on Briella’s own blasted bridge.
“I’m flying the fuckin’ ship.” But she obliged her because the humanoid had been through battle trauma and other shit, and, despite that name everyone called her, she wasn’t a complete beast.
It also didn’t take much effort to fly the freighter in a straight line, even at the speeds they were traveling. She looked at the female.
The Praecipuan attempted to meet her gaze through the goggles. “We require transport to Keid 9.” Her voice lowered. “You will take us there.”
“Like Hyadum I will.” Briella couldn’t believe the gall of the female. “The deal is, I take you to the first friendly planet—and that’s not it. Keid 9 is halfway across the universe, and it’s a Humanoid Alliance-controlled planet.”
Mohini’s forehead furrowed. “Look directly at me.” She grabbed Briella’s face and forced her to comply with her order.
The female was stronger than she appeared.
“You will take us to Keid 9.”
“Fuck you.” Briella slapped her hands, breaking the female’s grasp on her. “I will jettison you into open space before I do that.”
Mohini stared at her. “My abilities don’t work on you.” She tilted to her head the side. “How is that possible? They work on everyone.”
The fucker must’ve tried some Praecipuan mind tricks on her. “Figure that out somewhere else.” She returned her gaze to the main viewscreen. “You’re in my private space.”
“There’s no one else on the bridge.” Mohini leaned back in her seat.
Briella gritted her teeth.
The female had no intention of leaving.
“You must get lonely in here.”
She was also determined to chatter.
“I don’t get lonely anywhere.” That was a lie. Briella did get lonely, but that was preferable to the pain of rejection. “There are beings you can talk with in the back chambers.”
“They’ll ask me about our next actions, and I don’t know what those actions are. Yet.”
The way Mohini looked at her made Briella uneasy.
“If we had credits, would you take us to Keid 9?”
Briella lifted her eyebrows. “Do you have credits?”
“No.” The female’s lips quirked upward. “But I might be able to get some.”
“I require the credits in advance.” Briella’s tone was dry. She wasn’t born last planet rotation.
“You would require that.” Mohini laughed. “I like you, Beast. We’re going to be good friends, you and I.”
“Fuck no, we’re not going to be friends.” Briella hadn’t been friends with anyone since she’d been ejected from her home planet.
Being friends with someone required sharing confidences, telling the other being about one’s past, spending time together. Eventually she’d have to take off her goggles.
She wasn’t willing to open herself to that kind of rejection, of pain.
“Yes, we will be friends.” The Praecipuan propped her surprisingly sturdy-looking boots up on the console.
“Get your fuckin’ feet off the control panels,” Briella barked at her.
The female didn’t move her boots. “What are those two red dots on the screen?”
Red dots? Briella looked at the main viewscreen. “Oh shit.” Those two red dots were shaped like Humanoid Alliance warships.
“What is it?” Mohini finally lowered her booted feet.
“Could be something,” Briella muttered. “Could be nothing.”
The warships were situated far away from them, on the edge of their monitoring range. They might be en route to another destination, might not be tracking them.
Seeking to test that theory, she deviated from their course, steered the freighter toward a nearby moon.
The two warships immediately changed direction.
“Fuck.” She corrected the freighter’s course. “It’s something.”
The warships’ appearance on their monitoring systems was no coincidence. They were following her freighter, following them.
That frightened the shit out of her.
She wasn’t scared for herself. The missions she accepted were dangerous. She knew she’d eventually die during one of them.
But she didn’t want to die with innocent souls on board her freighter. She didn’t want to fail yet another group of beings.
“We’re being followed, aren’t we?” Mohini leaned forward. “What should we do?”
“You don’t need to do shit.” Briella was the captain. She was responsible for keeping her passengers alive. That was her primary role.
She quickly ran through her options.
Warships were much faster than freighters. If she stayed on their set path and all three vessels flew at their top speeds, their pursuers would catch up to them.
When the Humanoid Alliance warships reached them, they were fucked. The weapons on the freighter weren’t designed for battle. She didn’t have the firepower to down anything substantial.
They would be blown out of space, because their shields were equally shitty. Their defenses couldn’t withstand a bombardment of missiles.
There was only one way out of their increasingly dire situation—they had to deviate from their set path. She’d travelled amongst the stars since she had eleven solar cycles, knew the sectors like she knew the hum of her freighter’s engines.
Briella lifted her chin. She would utilize all that knowledge now to save them. “I’m going to shake these fuckers off our ass, lose them in the depths of space.”
No one else would die on her watch.
