Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – June 26th

By Cynthia Sax on June 26, 2022

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spotted this sleeping cat in Roatán.

The big news this week was, of course, the release of Provoking Odium! Woot! I’m so excited that this story is out in the world. I hope you enjoy it, my friends!

I pushed back the release of Grin And Bare Him to November. I want this story to be the best it can be and I need more time on it.

As many of you know, my Awesome Mom and my eldest brother both got COVID in a BAD way. I thought I might lose one or both of them. It was very scary for a bit and I couldn’t write during that time. So I fell behind schedule.

But they are okay now. Thankfully. And I am back to focusing on the story. It WILL be worth the wait.

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Do something different. Read a new-to-you writer. Try a new food. Take a different route home. Have a mini adventure!

Provoking Odium

A Beautiful Cyborg

While accompanying his leader on a mission, Odium, an E Model cyborg, hears a distress call over the communication lines. The voice on that message makes his circuits surge with energy and all his systems light up. He has to respond to the mysterious female, would risk his lifespan and the lifespans of everyone on board their ship to protect her.

A Human Female Others Call Beast

Briella gained her nickname due to her flying abilities, her fearlessness, and her scarred countenance. Her verbal-only relationship with the sexy cyborg who answers her distress call is a steamy yet short-lived fantasy. His kind is physically perfect, and she is…not. He will uncover that truth when…if they survive the attack upon her freighter.


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

It features a human female intent on remaining mysterious, a cyborg warrior determined to uncover her identity, and an enemy seeking to destroy them both before they have the opportunity to meet.

Adventures In Cyborg Unity

By Cynthia Sax on June 25, 2022

As readers of Provoking Odium have likely guessed (smiles), one of the main storylines in the Cyborg Unity will be uncovering why the Humanoid Alliance is targeting the Mohini and the Praecipuans.

We’ll find out more about that in Grin And Bare Him, the second story in the series. Mohini is the heroine of that cyborg romance. She might…MIGHT be able to convince Grin, her genetic match, to fly her to Keid 9. Why she desperately needs to travel there will also be revealed.

(grins) There are so many adventures awaiting us! I can’t wait to share them with you!

Talking Beauty And The Beast and Provoking Odium With Delilah Devlin

By Cynthia Sax on June 24, 2022

I’m at the always awesome Delilah Devlin’s online home, talking about Beauty And The Beast and Provoking Odium.

Here is a snippet…

“My favorite romance trope of all time is Beauty And The Beast.

One love interest is scarred and surly and believes they are unlovable. The other love interest is beautiful and optimistic and is bursting with love.

They are complete opposites yet they work. They’re magical together.

I can read this trope again and again, whether it is the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale version or a steamy paranormal romance with a beast shifter in the beast role.”

Provoking Odium has released!

Trigger Warnings For Provoking Odium

By Cynthia Sax on June 20, 2022

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

By Cynthia Sax on June 19, 2022

We spotted this self-cleaning cat in an artist’s studio in Bermuda.

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

By Cynthia Sax on June 18, 2022

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

By Cynthia Sax on June 17, 2022

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!
