Frogs And Alien Planets
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I recently visited our local science center where they had a great display of various brightly-colored frogs.
These frogs have evolved to be seen, to stand out in their lush predominantly green environments.
But I can imagine alien worlds where they are camouflaged, where their environments are so brightly colored they blend in.
I’ll likely use these froggies as inspiration for future story settings!

Provoking Odium And Briella’s Name
The heroine of Provoking Odium is named Briella but she often introduces herself as Beast, a nickname she dislikes, because she doesn’t think she looks like a Briella.
Briella is a pretty name. I think of it one a princess might have. And, when I hear it, I picture a beautiful female with long flowing hair and a big sparkly dress.
That’s not our heroine. Our heroine dresses in flight suits and clunky military boots. She carries weapons. And she doesn’t view herself as pretty.
Odium, the hero, however, DOES see Briella’s beauty.

Provoking Odium – Third Scene Of The First Chapter
The countdown to the release day for Provoking Odium continues!
I’m sharing the third scene from the first chapter this week.
You can read the first scene here:
***
The humanoid floated away. Her tread was soundless. Her gait was level.
“If she could truly hover above the ground, she would’ve gotten her tiny ass out of here.” Briella muttered that reminder under her breath. The female’s beauty unsettled her. “She needs you. She isn’t going to reject you.”
An unnatural rumbling rolled through the warm air.
Trepidation filled her. The Humanoid Alliance troops weren’t waiting for them to starve to death. They were mounting an attack.
“Decide quickly.” Briella yelled that advice at the female’s back.
The Praecipuans looked at her. One male, as tall and slender as the first female, grimaced. A female visibly paled.
Briella touched her goggles. They were in place.
All they’d seen were the scars on her cheeks, her forehead, and her chin. And those had horrified them. She pressed her lips together. Her eyes would cause them to flee.
“What is your name?” The first female stood in the middle of the group. She must be their leader.
Briella hesitated. If she relayed her name, they wouldn’t believe it. It was too beautiful for someone who looked like her. “Folks call me Beast.”
The female blinked once, twice. “I’m Mohini.” She smiled and turned her attention back to the others. Her hands skimmed through the air as she chattered. Her words were too softly spoken for the newcomer to hear.
Briella surveyed the group of beings. They all seemed capable of moving unassisted. Their wounds appeared minor.
Her ship was in rougher shape than they were. She clomped around the vessel, inspecting it.
New scrapes decorated the wings. There was a burn mark on the undercarriage. That was minor damage.
The freighter should hold together on the ascent.
She hoped it would. If—
“We’re going with you.” The female—Mohini—ushered her kind toward the ramp.
“Great.” She would try not to kill them all. “Turn left after you enter. You can use any of the chambers in the back. The bridge, to the right, is off-limits.” That was her space. “Strap yourselves in. This will be a rough trip.”
Mohini translated her words to the others. “We understand.”
Some of the Praecipuans didn’t look at her as they passed. A couple braver souls peered down at her, trying to gaze past her goggles. They wouldn’t see enough to scare them.
Briella waited, quashing the urge to tell them to hurry. They didn’t have all fuckin’ planet rotation.
Once the beings were finally loaded, she retracted the ramp, closed the doors, and returned to the bridge. She plunked her generous ass into the captain’s chair and took off her goggles.
Their escape would require the usage of both her eyes.
She placed her hands on the control panel. The engines continued to hum.
“We’re ready to go.” Briella guided the freighter upward, then circled the funnel, accelerating faster and faster.
The opening at the top was too narrow for a horizontal takeoff, and the speed would be needed. The rock walls were high. The freighter would require all the power it could get to climb it.
“A little faster. A little faster.” She forced herself to be patient. It wasn’t a trait she was known for. She preferred to rush into dangerous situations.
Because if she waited, if she thought about it, her survival instincts would kick in, and she would leave beings to die. That couldn’t happen.
And it wouldn’t happen now. Finally, she reached the desired speed.
She swooped the freighter downward, grazed the sand, and shot her ship straight upward. The force of the ascent pushed her form back into her chair. Screams originated from the rear of the vessel.
They should be scared. Briella was an experienced pilot, and she had fuckin’ concerns.
The opening at the top of the funnel was tiny. She focused on it, used her mechanical eye to center the ship.
“I can’t fail them, can’t fail another being.” Her knuckles whitened against the control panel. Her muscles cramped. The pain ripped at her.
She held firm because she had to do that. The only other choice was failure, death.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – June 5th
I continue to write the first draft of Grin And Bare Him. (grins) Grin and his female are having such an adventure. There are explosions and gunfights and so many near misses in their story.
I’ve been doing quite a bit of gardening also. The tomato plants are getting big. And I’ve harvested the first set of radishes. I like growing radishes. They are ready to eat in about 5 weeks, which is super quick.
Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Take note of the little things today – the insects on the ground, the breeze on your skin, the flavors in each bite of breakfast. Marvel in how varied and complex this amazing world is! We are truly fortunate to be here.

What You Are Doing Matters
There is a mission in our neighborhood to save the bumblebees.
We don’t rake all the leaves in the fall, leaving some for the bumblebees to burrow under. We don’t use pesticides in our yards (the city has a no pesticide rule). We allow the dandelions, the first flowers of the season, to bloom. We wait to cut our lawns.
The first year, there didn’t seem to be much change in the bumblebee population. We were a bit discouraged.
Ten years later, WOW, we have so many bumblebees. They happily buzz around our yards.
Right now, it might seem like your efforts on a certain project are wasted.
They’re not wasted. Your efforts matter.
They merely need time to blossom!

Erasing Scars And Provoking Odium
Briella, the heroine of Provoking Odium, is extremely scarred.
You might be thinking… this is the future. Surely there have been advances in medicine. Why can’t these scars be erased?
They CAN be erased. And Briella had that procedure done. Once.
But it didn’t change anything for her. The beings around her still rejected her based on her mechanical eye.
And when she was scarred again, she didn’t endure the procedure again.

The White-Nosed Coati And Raccoons In Space
There was a white-nosed coati in the sloth sanctuary in Roatán and stars, do they ever resemble the North American Raccoon aka Trash Panda. (grins) It is clear they are relatives.
One day, in the future, I will likely write a story featuring a raccoon in space. I suspect this raccoon character will be more like the animal here on Earth (highly intelligent yet non-speaking) and less like Rocket from Guardians Of The Galaxy (basically a human in raccoon form).

Provoking Odium – Second Scene Of The First Chapter
I’m sharing scenes from the first chapter of Provoking Odium as we wait for its release on June 21st.
You can read the first scene from the first chapter of Provoking Odium here:
This week I’m sharing the second scene of that first chapter.
***
The Humanoid Alliance redirected some of their firepower her way. Missiles arced toward her freighter.
Alarms sounded and lights flashed. She waited, waited, waited, then veered left. Wall panels vibrated as the missiles shot past her. That was how close they’d been to the freighter, how near she’d been to death.
“Fuck. This requires music.” She smacked the button, unmuting her tunes.
Vocals blasted. The bass pounded. Adrenaline pumped through her veins.
She swerved her ship to the left, right, right, left, avoiding a barrage of projectiles. Sweat beaded on her forehead, dripped down her spine. Missiles burst into color, into vibrant bits of energy all around her vessel. Metal rattled.
Her route became narrower and narrower. Her ability to avoid the missiles decreased. But the Humanoid Alliance forces below her ship thinned also. There were fewer battle machines to target her freighter.
She pulsed her engines, flying fast, fast, slow, fast, slow, slow, and tilted her ship upward, downward. Projectiles shattered the rock walls around her.
“Come on, baby.” Tension stretched across her shoulders. “You can do this. You can—”
The missile bombardment suddenly stopped. It must’ve been deemed too dangerous for the forces positioned on the ground. The Humanoid Alliance also knew they’d have another chance to down her ship.
She’d have to exit the same way.
That would be a challenge. She’d have to fly like the wind to avoid the strikes. But she could do it. She was the best damn freighter pilot in the fuckin’ universe.
That wasn’t a boast. That was the truth.
The rock walls closed in around her. She lowered her freighter and skimmed along the ground. Pebbles sprayed against the undercarriage. The pings were almost musical.
She carefully aligned the vessel’s nose with the opening in the stone before her. Entry into the dormant volcano would be tight. A purely organic pilot couldn’t make it. The systems on her freighter didn’t have the precision to target that small of a gap.
But she wasn’t one hundred percent organic. Her processor-equipped mechanical eye had been specifically designed for tasks like the one she now faced. She enabled sightlines and data on it, focused on her target, and inputted those specs into the control panel.
Her fingers trembled. If she made a mistake, if she was even a breath’s-width out of alignment, she would crash the freighter into the stone around her or plunge her vessel into the sand below her.
Either collision would kill her.
“You have this.” She uttered that encouragement to herself and to her ship. “You’ll make it.”
Metal scraped against hard surface as her wings grazed the rock.
For a moment, she thought she was dead.
But then her ship was free. Open space was all around her.
“Fuckin’ right.” She circled her freighter once, twice around the funnel. That signaled to the locals on the ground she was an ally. An enemy would’ve shot at them.
She lowered her ship to the planet’s surface, donned her goggles, then stalked to the doors and opened them. Warm air swept inside the ship. A massive boom temporarily deafened her.
The floor gyrated under her boots.
“What the fuck?” She rushed down the not-yet-fully-extended ramp and looked around her.
A group of purple humanoids stared with wide eyes in the direction from which she came.
Dread gripped her. She followed the beings’ gazes. Her stomach twisted.
A huge cloud of brown dust concealed the only opening to and from the site.
“The entrance is now filled with rock.” That frustrating truth was relayed in musical tones. The words were spoken in the universal language. “The Humanoid Alliance blew it up. We’re trapped.”
Briella met the newcomer’s gaze.
The female had matching eyes. Both of them were organic. Her skin and hair were a lighter shade of purple than her eyes. Her form was tall and slender, and she was dressed in flowing garments.
She was stunning. The dirt and grime covering her couldn’t conceal her beauty.
No one would ever mistake her for a demon.
The female was also heavily armed. She clasped guns in both of her hands.
They would need more than those weapons to escape their current situation.
“The river once flowed into the space.” Briella turned, scanning the stone walls encircling them. “The water had to flow out somehow.”
“That exit was sealed by rock long before I was born.” The female waved one of her guns at an indention in the stone on the far side of the funnel. “We’ve searched the perimeter for another escape route.” Sadness reflected in her perfect eyes. “There isn’t one.”
They were surrounded by high rock walls. Digging through them or under them would take too long, especially as they had no equipment manufactured for that purpose.
Briella tilted her head back. The funnel was too high, too steep for the locals or for herself to climb.
Up was the only viable path, however. She studied the space. The dormant volcano was wide at the bottom, extremely narrow at the top. But the diameter of the vent was larger than her freighter. “There’s an exit directly above us.”
“Is that a viable exit?” The female gazed upward also. “You didn’t enter that way.”
“It’s the only exit we have.” Briella shrugged. “But it’ll be risky. We could all die.”
“If we stay here, we’ll all die.” The female had reached the same conclusion Briella had. There was nothing but sand and rock and echoes of ancient deaths inside the dormant volcano. “I’ll talk with the others.”

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – May 29th
Wow. This month has flown past!
I shared the first scene from Provoking Odium with you last week. This week, I’ll share the second action-packed scene. So much happens in this first chapter. It is a race to rescue beings!
I’m continuing to work on Grin And Bare Him, the second story in the Cyborg Unity series. That’s an action-packed story also. The heroine is on a mission to save her kind and Grin is doing his best to keep her alive. (grins)
Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Enjoy the last few days in May. Eat some seasonal fruit or berries. Listen to the birds. Watch the insects flit around you. And read a story from a favorite writer.
Be good to yourself. You’re the only you we have on this awesome planet!

Her verbal-only relationship with the sexy cyborg who answers her distress call is a steamy yet short-lived fantasy. His kind is physically perfect, and she is…not. He will uncover that truth when…if they survive the attack upon her freighter.
Provoking Odium is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a human female intent on remaining mysterious, a cyborg warrior determined to uncover her identity, and an enemy seeking to destroy them both before they have the opportunity to meet.
