Needing Valor And Seeing Ghosts
In Needing Valor, Halleli, the heroine, believes her new home is haunted.
This doesn’t freak her out too, too much because she has spent the last few solar cycles fighting the Humanoid Alliance. War is bloody and random and noisy. Halleli saw things on the battlefield, horrible, nonsensical things. She doesn’t talk about it much during her story and I don’t share, in detail, the trauma she has endured, but it is there. It is part of her past.
A harmless ghost or two isn’t going to unsettle this heroine. (grins)

Needing Valor
This not-at-all-dead cyborg needs to be needed.
***
Seeking a change after solar cycles of war, Halleli enters a lottery on her home planet. Her wishes are granted. She wins a home of her own in the middle of nowhere.
The only problem is…that home is haunted.
Objects slide off horizontal surfaces. The floor howls. And the resident ghost, a sexy spirit she has named Chad, roams the space. He sports soulful dark eyes, a deep growly voice, and shiny silver hands big enough to handle a female’s abundant curves.
Halleli wants him, and that is wrong, so very wrong. A relationship between them is impossible. He is dead. And she is…not.
Valor isn’t dead. He isn’t a ghost. And his name isn’t Chad. He’s an E Model cyborg determined to claim his female…once he can convince her he’s alive.
Achieving that feat might require clever words, some heated kisses…and a whole lot of explosives.
***
Needing Valor is a short, light, companion story in the Rebel Cyborgs series and is meant to be read after B Free.
This Cyborg Romance features a permanently damaged yet very much alive E Model warrior, a courageous open-minded humanoid female, and a deadly domicile of horrors.

Needing Valor And The Management Of Mercury Minor
Power and the Cyborg Council manages activities and beings on the Cyborg Homeland.
On Mercury Minor, the Rebel Cyborgs’ home base, Ghost, Lethe and Cadet/Eirene Ours are that planet’s leaders.
Ghost and Lethe decide who lands on the planet. They manage security and the space around Mercury Minor. They also communicate…minimally…with cyborgs on the Homeland.
Cadet/Eirene Ours is responsible for the rescue missions and for interacting with beings situated on Mercury Minor. She ensures they have domiciles, supplies, medic bays, etc.
She doesn’t do this alone, of course. She has a team on the ground.
One of those team members is Lore. We meet him for the first time in Needing Valor. When Cadet/Eirene Ours is off planet, he is in charge.
We’ll see more of Lore in Seizing Power and, likely, in the future. I expect he will eventually have his own story. (grins) He’s a fascinating cyborg with a unique view of the universe.

Needing Valor And Adhafera Omicron
Much of the action on Needing Valor occurs on Adhafera Omicron, the heroine’s home planet.
Adhafera Omicron is named after Adhafera, the star.
Adhafera means the braid or curl in Arabic. This star is faint yet visible to the naked human eye here on Earth. Its faintness isn’t due to its brightness or size. Adhafera’s luminosity is 85 times that of our sun and it is also much larger (3 times its mass and 6 times its radius). It IS approximately 274 light-years away from us, however.
Adhafera is part of a double star. It isn’t a binary star as its companion star is 174 light-years away from it…which, I think, makes the nod to it perfect in a cyborg romance. (grins)

Needing Valor And Omicron
Halleli, the heroine of Needing Valor, lives on the planet Adhafera Omicron.
I wrote this story long before the Omicron variant appeared and I wasn’t paying attention to where we were in the naming sequence of the variants. I thought we were well past Omicron.
(head slap)
Yep, I made a mistake and I’m sorry if that has, in any way, interfered with your joy regarding this thank you story, my gift to you.
(Makes a note to research which numbering/lettering system scientists plan to use for variants after they’ve worked their way through Greek letters so I can avoid that same system for future planet names)

Needing Valor And A Certain Character’s Name
Reading buddies have been asking me if the newest member of the cyborg family has a name yet. This new cyborg is first mentioned in B Free. We find out at the end of Needing Valor that a certain event involving him has happened but there is no name attributed to him.
His name WILL be mentioned in Seizing Power (releasing in February). You can likely guess what it will be based on the cyborg preference of using names of fallen loved ones.
Why is there a delay in sharing his name?
Cyborgs value names and, often, they either choose their own or they give the suggested name their approval. That requires processing and a bit of time. They might wish to research the meanings of names and the histories of the beings who have utilized those names in the past.
When cyborgs do finally reveal their names, they share some of their private selves with the us and with the rest of the universe. That’s a huge step for beings who were once viewed as interchangeable machines. That process shouldn’t be rushed.

Throwback Thursday – Releasing Rage
I re-read Releasing Rage, the very first Cyborg Romance I published, on the weekend and stars, I love this story.
I love Rage, how unfiltered and feral and raw his emotions are.
I love his relationship with Crash and Gap, how he secretly cares for those two warriors.
I love Joan, his fearless female, and how she understands Rage, perhaps because she feels as much fury for the injustices in the universe.
The two of them seem, at first, like an unlikely couple yet they work. There is genuine, lasting love between them.
If you haven’t yet read Releasing Rage, it is currently free! If you have read it and you enjoyed it, I hope you will recommend it to one of your reading buddies.
Half Man. Half Machine. All Hers.
Rage, the Humanoid Alliance’s most primitive cyborg, has two goals—kill all of the humans on his battle station and escape to the Homeland. The warrior has seen the darkness in others and in himself. He believes that’s all he’s been programmed to experience.
Until he meets Joan.
Joan, the battle station’s first female engineer, has one goal—survive long enough to help the big sexy cyborg plotting to kill her. Rage might not trust her but he wants her. She sees the passion in his eyes, the caring in his battle-worn hands, the gruff emotion in his voice.
When Joan survives the unthinkable, Rage’s priorities are tested. Is there enough room in this cyborg’s heart for both love and revenge?

Throwback Thursday – Releasing Rage
Releasing Rage was the first cyborg romance I ever wrote.
I wrote it for myself. Two of my favorite cyborg romance writers were taking a break from their series at the same time. I was craving my cyborg romance hit, was bellyaching about it to the Dear Wonderful Hubby. He pointed out that I was a writer. I should write my own cyborg romances.
So I did.
When I finished Releasing Rage, I thought other cyborg romance reading buddies (I SEE you!) might enjoy it also.
Releasing Rage should be currently FREE everywhere.
If you enjoyed this story, I hope you will suggest other readers try it. The more cyborg romance readers we have, the more cyborg romances other writers will write. That’s a win for everyone!

Throwback Thursday – Releasing Rage
Containing Malice, the first story in the Rebel Cyborgs subseries (releasing in February), reminds me of Releasing Rage, the first cyborg romance I crafted. The heroes are both C Models and they are both very angry…with good reason.
There are huge differences, of course. Malice and Rage are each unique beings. Their pasts are different and their futures will be different. Their females are extremely different. Joan, Rage’s female, is an engineer, as one example. Illona, Malice’s female, is a medic forced into an evil scientist role.
But I love both of these stories. While you’re waiting for Containing Malice to release, you might wish to revisit with Rage and Joan and re-read Releasing Rage.

Cyborg Sizzle Escape Omnibus Releases!
The Cyborg Sizzle Escape Omnibus released today!
Note: ALL of the stories in this collection have been previously released. They haven’t been changed at all. If you have all of my cyborg stories, you have all of the stories in this omnibus.
Cyborg Sizzle Escape Omnibus
Half Man. Half Machine. All Theirs.
While these cyborg warriors battle to escape their cruel manufacturers, they find the human females they are destined to love for all eternity.
This omnibus includes the first seven stories in the Cyborg Sizzle series: Releasing Rage, Breathing Vapor, Being Green, Crash And Burn, Defying Death, Chasing Mayhem and Jumping Barrel.
All of these Cyborg Romances are set in a dark, gritty, often violent universe.
Releasing Rage
Rage, the Humanoid Alliance’s most primitive cyborg, has two goals–kill all of the humans on his battle station and escape to the Homeland. The warrior has seen the darkness in others and in himself. He believes that’s all he’s been programmed to experience.
Until he meets Joan.
Breathing Vapor
Vapor is the most advanced cyborg the Humanoid Alliance has ever developed. He’s a finely honed weapon, a warrior without parallel, half man and half machine. No lock can contain him. No being can stop him. Whatever he wants, he takes.
He wants Mira Breazeal, the Designer’s daughter.
Being Green
Green, a cyborg warrior, cares for one being—his plant Windy. When Windy becomes sick, he’ll do anything to heal her, even venture across the universe to visit a worlds-renowned plant doctor.
He doesn’t expect to find love.
Crash And Burn
Crash was manufactured to be one of the best warriors in the universe. The cyborg has spent many human lifespans fighting the enemy. But, unlike his battle-loving brethren, he doesn’t enjoy killing. When he escapes the Humanoid Alliance, he vows to never end another life.
Then he meets Safyre, an infuriating human female, and he considers breaking his vow.
Defying Death
Cyborgs don’t show emotion. Death learned that lesson early in his long lifespan. To survive, he hides his fierce passions behind a stoic wall. He calls no warrior friend. He never admits to caring for any being.
Even the human female he’s destined to love.
Chasing Mayhem
Mayhem has spent his lengthy lifespan obeying the Humanoid Alliance’s rules. Finally free from their cruel control, the cyborg warrior plans to cause chaos. He infiltrates a remote settlement, provokes the savage locals until they want him dead, and allows himself to be captured by the sexiest little Retriever he has ever laid his mechanically-enhanced eyes on.
Jumping Barrel
Barrel requires an Expert for the Tau Cetian orphans. He’s looking for a female who is willing to commit to a lifespan-long role, who is comfortable with moving off planet, and who, preferably, has the ability to speak the offsprings’ first language.
His female, however, is looking for a hero.
