Sentient Plants And Fungi

By Cynthia Sax on April 22, 2022

In North Bound, we met Steve, the male-hating plant ruler of Balazoid Minor. Steve doesn’t speak but he is extremely skilled at communicating and woe betide anyone who doesn’t follow his commands. (grins)

It turns out… fungi here on Earth also communicate.

Scientists have recently proven that fungi ‘talk’ to other fungi using electrical signals. Thus far, they’ve uncovered at least 50 different ‘words’ in a fungi’s vocabulary.

It amazes me that we’ve been on this amazing planet for thousands of years and we still only know a tiny bit of how it all works. That’s so awe-inspiring!

Seizing Power

This cyborg believes he’s in control.

Power is the self-appointed leader of the cyborg council. Other members might debate situations. He makes the ultimate decisions.

When a threat to Homeland is revealed, he takes command of a fleet and ventures to the edge of cyborg-controlled space to investigate. He finds a rebellion led by a mysterious upstart he calls Cadet.

The plan Power derives is simple—he’ll quickly quash the uprising and teach its leader a lesson the warrior will never forget.

NO ONE challenges his authority.

Eirene Ours might be called a cadet by Power but she is NOT his subordinate. She is the arrogant E Model’s genetic match.

For much of her mature lifespan, she has desired the male, yearning for his dark-eyed gaze, craving his sure hands, longing for his respect.

That esteem was never granted. And Eirene Ours can no longer wait to earn it. There’s an external threat to their kind, a danger that might destroy them all.

Having lured Power to her home terrain, she now plans to use everything within her means — her fists, her daggers, her ship-destroying missiles — to pound that truth into her stubborn warrior’s thick metal skull.

The future of every cyborg is at stake. She can’t fail them.

Power will believe her. Or he will die.

Baring Grudge And Mushrooms

By Cynthia Sax on July 21, 2021

It has been so damp in my corner of the universe; our front lawn is sprouting mushrooms (our city has banned pesticides in a successful effort to save the bees so the lawn is a mixture of grass, dandelions and that super aggressive vine that is taking over the entire yard – big sigh).

I LOVE mushrooms. I find them fascinating. Their shapes are alien-like. The feel of them is as unique. Some of them can be safely eaten. Some of them make us as high as the International Space Station. Some of them can kill us.

The ones in our front yard are the expected mushroom shape and they remind me of little explosions. Grudge, the hero of Baring Grudge, enjoys blowing things up. I think he would be intrigued by these mushrooms (and likely get a kick out of exploding these little explosion-appearing fungi).

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.
