Lucifer And Knowing Your Audience/Readership
Watching the TV show Lucifer has been one of my joys over the past year. I have been re-watching earlier episodes with my Dear Wonderful Hubby. We enjoy the humor and we love that it is so very different.
One of the reasons Lucifer is so very different is because the show’s creators know who their audience is.
Anyone watching a TV show starring the Devil is likely to be tolerant and accepting of a variety of relationship constructs, sexual orientations, adult situations, etc. Having a bisexual character, for example, won’t shock that viewer.
The people involved with Lucifer have known this was their audience since day one and they produce the episodes specifically for this audience. They did this when Lucifer originally played on Fox, a network whose target audience is NOT known for tolerance. They did this after Fox cancelled Lucifer and Netflix picked it up. They stayed true to serving their unique audience and, as a member of this audience, I love this.
I think it is important for writers to know who they’re writing their stories for also. Someone who reads dark romance, for example, is unlikely to have issues with violence on the page. Someone who reads cyborg romance will likely embrace unusual settings.
Knowing our story’s readership frees us to be brave in our choices and that’s super exciting.

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.
