Gardening – 3 Weeks Until Transplanting Outside

By Cynthia Sax on April 24, 2024

The tomato, marigold and pepper plants are growing happily in the basement grow station.

I grew extra plants because…squirrels. (shakes head and grins) They love to dig up newly transplanted plants. For no real reason except it entertains them. I have spare plants in case I lose a few.

Transplanting won’t happen for another 3 weeks. That is the expected last frost date in our corner of the universe.

I’ve also started beans and squash and am waiting for them to germinate.

The grow station is packed. I find that super exciting. (beams)

Strike Zone

A cyborg devoted to duty…and to her.

***

While attending a party, Kesser, the daughter of her planet’s leader, witnesses the abduction of her best friend and her best friend’s mate.

She’s determined to rescue them. Preferably without fracturing the fragile peace agreement her mom has crafted with the abductors’ planet.

The only issue is…she has never participated in a retrieval mission.

Searching for assistance, she approaches the mate’s guard. The male, with his big broad shoulders and deep growly voice, affects her like no other being ever has.

Kesser wants him. She trusts him. And she requires his stealth combat skills.

Desperately.

Strike is no guard. The D Model cyborg has been sent to the sector to discreetly investigate a potential planet-destroying situation.

When a curvy human female with big brown eyes requests his help with a rescue, he doesn’t hesitate to say yes. She’s his genetic match, the one being he was manufactured to protect.

She’s also traveling to the next planet he has to search. He plans to claim his female while he fulfills his responsibilities to his kind.

Neither Strike nor Kesser realizes the dangers facing them are far greater than they imagine. Their enemies are converging, and one failed mission could doom the entire universe.

***

Strike Zone is a standalone, mistaken-identity, Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features a cyborg warrior with a finely honed sense of honor, a human support being taking on her first dangerous mission, and an evil that threatens everyone in existence.

Garden Planning for 2024

By Cynthia Sax on September 5, 2023

I like to plan at a very high level. I know roughly what I will do but not the details.

I have my cyborg romances planned for the next two and a half years (they will center around the crew of the Dauntless, Intrepid’s ship), for example. I know their heroes (Choice, Cure, Strike, Drift and Grid) but I have no idea about anything else. (sheepish grin)

I also have some rough ideas about what I want to do with the vegetable garden in 2024. I’ll plant tomatoes in the bed and bell peppers and herbs in containers.

AND the big addition for 2024 will be squash. I plan to plant zucchini (courgettes) and butternut squash! It will be an adventure. I’ve never ever grown them. I’m super excited about this.

Strive For Forever


This cyborg seeks to vanquish an ancient entity and save his curvy human female.

Euryale made a terrible mistake. She opened a container she shouldn’t have touched and released one of the oldest lifeforms in existence. That all-powerful entity is now utilizing her as its host body and is slowly draining her energy.

Soon, she’ll die.

Euryale has accepted this fate and is determined to use her remaining moments in the universe to save as many lives as she can.

Her plans do NOT include a smoldering-hot, poetry-wielding cyborg willing to decimate entire planets to save her.

While under the control of the Humanoid Alliance, Strive, a K Model cyborg, disobeyed direct orders and refused to kill on their behalf. If he hadn’t escaped their cruel clutches, his defiance would have led to his death.

The male knowingly risked that fate to save the lifespans of complete strangers.

There is nothing he wouldn’t do to protect Euryale. The curvy human female is his genetic match, the one being he is destined to defend.

And she is in danger.

Strive would break every vow, cross every boundary, risk absolutely everything to keep her from harm.

Including battle a deity no one has ever defeated.
