Throwback Thursday – B Free

By Cynthia Sax on December 12, 2024

B Free is emotional, yes. I gravitate toward writing stories that hit me right in the feels. (grins) And B, the hero, is the last known B Model. He’s…alone in that very specific way. So his story grips me in a very special way.

But it is also a fun story. There are zombies (or the Humanoid Alliance equivalent). And there’s a space librarian heroine. It is full of adventure and laughs and love. (smiles)

B Free

B is the last remaining B Model cyborg. All of his brethren, the beings he trained with, fought with, cared deeply for, have perished.

Or so he believes.

When he intercepts a communication mentioning the existence of one of his kind, he has to investigate its source. The message could be a trap set by his enemies. He’ll take that risk if it secures him the companionship he requires to be fully functional.

What he finds is a daring brown-eyed female who activates all his systems. She proudly proclaims she’s a researcher, brandishing that information like a weapon before her. He wants to kiss the sass off her beautiful face, protect her from the dangers around them, claim her forever.

Quinn is on a quest to locate the mechanics of an early-version cyborg. She believes the information captured within that frame will give her valuable insights into the past.

When her mission goes zombie-like beings levels of wrong, she comes face-to-face with a living, breathing B Model. He has big hands, a primitive countenance, and stern hard lips crafted for kissing.

She doesn’t trust him. And she doesn’t have time to indulge her desires.

Their shared enemies are chasing them, would kill to get their precious specimens back. One minor mistake could reduce B and Quinn to a mere line in the databases of history.

***

Throwback Thursday – B Free

By Cynthia Sax on March 21, 2024

I LOVE B Free.

It features the cyborg world’s version of zombies (the Resurrected), a HUGE cyborg warrior who is the very last of his kind, and a human futuristic archeologist determined to study him.

This story is SO much fun!

Throwback Thursday – B Free

By Cynthia Sax on August 24, 2023

B Free is…well…it is just a fun story. (grins)

It has the Humanoid Alliance equivalent of zombies (the Resurrected i.e. brought-back-from-dead warriors).

The cyborg hero is the last of his model type. He’s huge and a bit monstrous.

The heroine is a researcher, the futuristic equivalent of an archaeologist. And she’s a bit quirky.

I REALLY had a blast writing this story!

Throwback Thursday – B Free

By Cynthia Sax on January 19, 2023

B is a VERY old, VERY primitive warrior. He has known loss – loss of everyone he trained with, matured with, cared for. He is the last of his kind.

Or so he believes.

He intercepts a message that implies another B Model has been located.

When he tracks down the sender of that message, he discovers something even more miraculous – he has found his genetic match, a female who makes him feel like a newly manufactured cyborg.

Unfortunately, she is surrounded by the undead.

Do I Read Reviews?

By Cynthia Sax on January 14, 2022

Reviews are important. They help readers find the best stories for them. And some booksellers reward stories that have reviews by giving them extra visibility on their sites.

But they are NOT meant for writers. Some writers don’t read any of their reviews. Some writers read only reviews other people filter for them. Writers are advised never to respond to reviews.

I read ALL the reviews on my stories. I have rhino skin, have built up a tolerance for criticism. And I don’t read reviews until my fresh writing for the day is done. I also don’t read reviews when I’m feeling fragile.

I see your comments about which cyborgs you would like to read about next. (smiles) I see your questions and concerns. I see your requests for updates on existing couples (and more).

I try to address your feedback here, on this blog. If you don’t see an answer to any of your questions, email me!

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – December 26th

By Cynthia Sax on December 26, 2021

I received a gazillion romance novels as gifts from my eldest brother. Reading those books and spending time with the Dear Wonderful Hubby are the only two items on my to-do list this upcoming week. (grins) Yep, life is good.

This past week, I wrote a few more chapters in the first draft of Provoking Odium, the first story in the upcoming Cyborg Unity series (releasing in June). I’m excited about this story. I think you’ll enjoy it.

Have a great week, my friends. (big hugs) Think about all the wonderful moments you’ve experienced in 2021—the great books you’ve read, the awesome conversations you’ve had (in person, text, email, social media, etc), the hugs both virtual and in person you’ve received. You are loved.

Cyborg Unity

By Cynthia Sax on December 22, 2021

I’ve decided upon a series name for the next part of the cyborg saga (starting with Provoking Odium in June).

The name of the new series will be Cyborg Unity. (grins)

Yes, that’s a hint as to what will happen in Seizing Power (releasing in February) between the two cyborg factions.

Amanda Kelsey, my amazing cover artist, has designed the above symbol for this series. I love it. It has a balanced, yin and yang feel to it, yet is very much SciFi. This symbol will appear on the covers of the books in this series.

Cynthia Sax Upcoming Releases

By Cynthia Sax on December 21, 2021

I have a tentative release schedule for 2022. It is tentative because that alien romance idea is still floating around my brain and I might write it between two of the cyborg romances. That means release dates might change but the order of the new series will remain the same.

I am SUPER excited about these upcoming releases. I can’t wait for you to read Seizing Power in February. I love this story and I think you’ll enjoy it also.

I’m getting excited about Odium’s story also. I suspected Odium had some hidden damage but I didn’t realize the depth of this cyborg warrior. He constantly surprises me…in a good way.

February 2022 – Seizing Power (In Edits)

New Series!

Cyborg Unity

June but hoping for May 2022 – Provoking Odium (First Draft Is Being Written Now)

August 2022 – Grin And Bare Him

November 2022 – Raw Desires

February 2023 – Strive For Forever

May 2023 – Intrepid Encounters

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – December 19th

By Cynthia Sax on December 19, 2021

I’m still working on the first draft of Provoking Odium, the first story in the new cyborg series (releasing in May). I’ll be writing this first draft for a while. (grins) It will take longer than usual due to the holidays. I plan to spend some focused time with the Dear Wonderful Hubby at the tail end of December.

I received the first round of revisions for Seizing Power, the fifth core story in the Rebel Cyborgs series (releasing in February), from my Awesome Editor. She likes the story! Woot! There is work to be done, of course. There always is. But it is on track for its release date.

Have a magical week, my friends. (big hugs) If you’re in a cold part of the world, snuggle under the covers. If you’re in a hot part of the world, enjoy the sun (safely). Read some new-to-you books. Cherish every dang day! I’m so happy and so fortunate to have you in my life!

Bergdorf Goodman Window Inspiration

By Cynthia Sax on December 17, 2021

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I were in New York City recently and I found the windows at Bergdorf Goodman so very inspirational. (grins)

I thought they might serve as inspiration for my writing and reading buddies!

This ‘world’ is dominated by birds and insects. Look at the exciting diversity!

This ‘world’ is blue and sparkly and has a hint of space with the planets, the moon, the astrological signs.

Look at this wonderful cat ‘world’! The expressions on their cute little faces are wonderful.

Of course, we can’t have a cat world without a dog world. I like how the monochrome color scheme emphasizes the different shapes and forms of the doggies.

I love how the artist didn’t go for the obvious blue for the fish world. The purples give the impression of great depth.

And finally, we have this swirly psychedelic red and white world with a music theme.
