This cat was spotted in Mauritius and perfectly encompasses my laziness level today. (grins)

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I have returned to our annual trek to Vegas for the CES (Consumers Electronics Show). We paired it with an 8 night cruise out of LA along the west coast. And we had an awesome time.

This upcoming week, we have to complete the corporate income tax return and…sleep.

Have a wonderful week, my friends! (tackle hugs) I hope it is a sleep-filled one for you also. Take care of yourself. Drink some water. Get some fresh air. Laugh and love and LIVE. Treasure your time on this fantastical planet!

Claiming Cure

A proud cyborg medic meets his human match.

***

Cyra has tasks to complete before she dies.

There are patients to heal, a dangerous mission to undertake, and a world to save. She doesn’t have time to entertain uninvited guests.

Especially one coldhearted cyborg medic who thinks he’s better than her.

The male might be breathtakingly handsome. His sternly set lips might be extremely kissable. And his touch might draw out a passion she didn’t think she was capable of feeling.

But he’s also a distraction, one that might doom millions of innocent beings to a painful, horrible death.

Cure isn’t emotionless. He feels…greatly. Listening to that malfunction has caused other beings pain and suffering in the past.

He refuses to allow his desires to cloud his judgment now.

His resolve is tested when he’s forced to associate with the most provoking, alluring medic in the universe.

Cyra is his genetic match, the one being in the universe he is fated to protect, touch, claim. She’s clever and beautiful, and the need to hold her almost downs his systems.

But now is not the time to indulge his great wanting.

Cure has an assignment to complete.

If he fails to accomplish his goals, everyone he cares for, including his human female, will die.

***

Claiming Cure is a standalone Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features two skilled medics determined to ignore the toe-curling attraction between them, a perilous impossible mission, and foes seeking to ensure they never heal another being ever again.

Flamboyant Trees In Mauritius

By Cynthia Sax on January 22, 2025

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I were fortunate to visit Mauritius while the flamboyant trees were blooming. They traditionally bloom from November to January and WOW, their blooms are a bright, happy orange.

A driver called them New Year Trees, sharing that they signify luck for the new year. Another person called them Christmas Trees. The Mauritius Tourism Facebook account calls them “bouquet banané’ or flower of the year. By any name, they’re beautiful!

Muse Food – Dodos And Past Mistakes

By Cynthia Sax on January 20, 2025

When the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I were in Mauritius, we visited the Natural History Museum. This free museum had a display about the Dodo, the famously now-extinct flightless bird that was once found in Mauritius.

Some of the information talked about the decisions (or, in hindsight, mistakes) experts believe led to the dodo’s extinction.

How beings or societies handle the mistakes of their past says a lot about them. And ALL beings or societies HAVE made mistakes. That’s a universal truth.

Are they honest about why the mistake happened? Do they accept blame or try to shift it to another being/entity? What have they learned from that mistake?

All this tells us (and our readers) so much about beings/societies.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – January 19

By Cynthia Sax on January 19, 2025

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I stayed at the Maison Du Nord when we recently visited Mauritius. It was an absolutely delightful boutique hotel with amazing customer service and a wonderful buffet breakfast featuring crepes and local fruits.

And Maison Du Nord had its own resident guard cat! This extremely skilled hunter is shown here protecting the lobby. (grins)

As you likely guessed it, the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I have been traveling. We’re seeing the world while I figure out which writing projects to work on next.

These writing projects will be pitched to agents, publishers, or other entities so they likely won’t be published in the immediate future. Big wheels turn slowly and all that. (smiles)

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Do some traveling of your own – whether this is around the world or into the next neighborhood. There are so many delightful and interesting places all around us, alcoves we haven’t yet explored. Get out there and sightsee!
