Releasing Rage-Feedback That Made Me Cry

By Cynthia Sax on July 3, 2016

I write my stories for me. Writing is part of who I am as a person. I can’t not write.

I publish the stories I think other people might enjoy reading. I’m hoping these stories will make readers laugh or cry and I’m thrilled when I hear from readers that my stories have done that.

Once in a while, this feedback will make me cry. That was the case with Jolie Mason’s post about Releasing Rage.

Here is a snippet…
“Occasionally, when I determine that my anxiety is interfering with my life, if it’s making me avoid something I would normally love, I will sometimes employ something called exposure therapy. Books are an excellent way to do this for me, simply because I can put them down. I’m not out in a crowded place or stuck in a situation. I can put it down, and come back when I’m stronger.

Releasing Rage has rape. It has an abuse theme. Yes, but I found something more in the pages. Something healing.”

Half Man. Half Machine. All Hers.

Rage, the Humanoid Alliance’s most primitive cyborg, has two goals—kill all of the humans on his battle station and escape to the Homeland. The warrior has seen the darkness in others and in himself. He believes that’s all he’s been programmed to experience.
Until he meets Joan.

Joan, the battle station’s first female engineer, has one goal—survive long enough to help the big sexy cyborg plotting to kill her. Rage might not trust her but he wants her. She sees the passion in his eyes, the caring in his battle-worn hands, the gruff emotion in his voice.

When Joan survives the unthinkable, Rage’s priorities are tested. Is there enough room in this cyborg’s heart for both love and revenge?

Defying Death

He’ll risk it all for one moment of happiness.

Cyborgs don’t show emotion. Death learned that lesson early in his long lifespan. To survive, he hides his fierce passions behind a stoic wall. He calls no warrior friend. He never admits to caring for any being.

Even the human female he’s destined to love.

Tifara is Death’s obsession, his sole opportunity for happiness, to express the all-consuming passion burning brightly inside him. He’ll do anything to obtain the curvaceous medic: defy a direct order, abduct Tifara from her battle station, and wage war on his fellow cyborgs.

To earn her love, he’ll have to risk much, much more.

Defying Death And Names

By Cynthia Sax on May 27, 2016

One of the most common questions I receive from reading and writing buddies is

“Where do you get your names?”

The quest for unique names is very real for every writer. Reusing names can be confusing for reading buddies. Heroes, heroines, every significant secondary character requires a name.

When I first started writing, I would use names of friends and family members. That made writing scenes even more fun. All of my siblings, my mom, my aunts and uncles have had their names used in my stories.

As I hit 20 stories, I started running out of the common names. That’s when I picked up a used book of baby names. That book was awesome. The listings gave me meanings for the names, which added to the stories. I’d cross off names as I used them. I felt super organized.

Then, after about 100 stories, there were fewer and fewer names left in the baby name book. Many of these names aren’t hero or heroine worthy.

Lucky for me, I have plenty of reading buddies and you often have AWESOME names, strong, unique, sexy names. Nymphia, Safyre, Tifara are all names of reading buddies. They seem exotic and SciFi-like but they belong to wonderful women right here on planet Earth.

So don’t be surprised if, after you contact me, I ask to use your name.
