Throwback Thursday – Under Strain

By Cynthia Sax on March 7, 2024

Dinosaur planet.

(grins) Yes, Under Strain is set on a dinosaur planet. Those dinosaurs want to eat the heroine and not in a sexy way. They view her as dinner

The cyborgs, on the other hand, want to RIDE the dinosaurs. (laughs) Yeah, they are wild warriors. And they have some big fun in this story.

Under Strain

A damaged cyborg warrior is hunted by a peace-loving human female.

***

Strain is severely malfunctioning. The D Model cyborg was the sole survivor after a horrific decision was made by his cruel manufacturers. He hates all humans, and when he attacks one who is under his cyborg leader’s protection, he is reprimanded, stripped of his weapons, and told to watch and not actively participate in the next mission.

That mission takes place on a small remote planet. Its lush terrain should only be inhabited by the cyborgs they were sent to rescue, but Strain senses another presence on the surface. She is watching him, tracking him, hunting him.

A fully operational cyborg would end her lifespan.

Strain wants to claim her. Forever.

Kamyelle is the only one left of her kind. Warriors have killed the other nonviolent human inhabitants of her planet. She survived…barely…by hiding in the trees, observing her enemies, and covering herself with lifeform scan-concealing mud.

When a handsome, gray-skinned, brilliant-blue-eyed male arrives, surrounded by weapon-carrying warriors, she has to save him. Warriors harm and they kill. That is what they do.

She won’t allow them to hurt Strain.

***

Under Strain is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features a broken warrior, a human female who thinks he’s perfect, and velociraptor-like dinosaurs who view them both as light, tasty snacks.

Throwback Thursday – Under Strain

By Cynthia Sax on August 10, 2023

One of the absolutely awesome things about reading and writing cyborg romance and alien romance is visiting fascinating new-to-us planets.

Under Strain is set on one of the coolest planets in the universe. It is a habitat for dinosaurs!

Imagine a planet where dinosaurs didn’t go extinct. Then imagine almost-unkillable cyborgs on that planet. (grins) You KNOW they’ll have some fun!

Throwback Thursday – Under Strain

By Cynthia Sax on January 5, 2023

Being enslaved by the Humanoid Alliance and forced to do terrible things has impacted the cyborgs. Some of them are broken and will likely never be fully functional.

Strain is one of those warriors. He has a cyborg version of PTSD and he doesn’t trust himself. He definitely doesn’t feel he’s safe to be around fragile humans.

Kamyelle isn’t fragile but she IS human. She is intent on rescuing him, not knowing that the real danger is Strain.

A damaged cyborg warrior is hunted by a peace-loving human female.

Talking Cyborgs And Isolation On Jessica Coulter Smith’s Online Home

By Cynthia Sax on July 13, 2021

Woot! I’m visiting the always awesome Jessica Coulter Smith at her online home – Books + Coffee = Happiness, talking about cyborgs and emerging from isolation.

Here is a snippet…

“My corner of the universe is slowly emerging from pandemic-induced isolation and…well…I’m not at all fit for public interactions. (laughs) I am a mess socially.

A friend wanted to give me a hug a few days ago and I, an avid hugger in the Before Times, backed away, held up my hands to block the hug and gave her what she said was a comically horrified look.

I saw a neighbor without her mask and told her “Nice face.” She laughed but I was mortified. Who says that to someone?

It turns out I do.”

The End Of June

By Cynthia Sax on June 30, 2021

June wasn’t my most productive month on record. (grins) But hey, that’s okay. We’re allowed to take time off. Humans NEED time off. Especially since we’re at the end (knock on wood) of a world-wide pandemic.

The highlight of June for me was my Awesome Mom, my Dear Wonderful Hubby, and myself all getting our second vaccinations. I feel such relief, such joy knowing some of the people I love have that extra layer of protection.

I have also almost completed the first draft of B Free (releasing in November) and I love it so very much. This story was a battle to write but, as I’ve mentioned in the past, those are often the best stories and B Free is proving to be no exception to that guideline.

How was your June? Did you discover any new-to-you writers and series this month? What was the highlight for you?

Bonus Scenes (Extras)

By Cynthia Sax on June 29, 2021

Every non-release month I usually craft a never-before-seen, exclusive-to-subscribers, bonus scene for my newsletter (the scene this month featured Truth, Princess Nancy and a mock battle between the crew of the Reckless and Vengeance’s best warriors).

If you’ve missed past scenes, they’re (eventually) listed on the Extras page on my website – http://cynthiasax.com/extras/ .

You will be asked to sign up for my newsletter before downloading each bonus scene. Don’t worry! The system is intelligent (that sounds like a cyborg thing to say – grins). If you download multiple scenes, it will only sign you up once. If you’re already signed up for my newsletter, it won’t sign you up again.

Do you need to read these scenes to understand what is happening in the stories? No, not at all. They are bonus scenes, an insider’s view of the cyborg world. Anything important imparted in them will be mentioned again in the relevant story.

Cyborgs, The Future And Diversity

By Cynthia Sax on June 28, 2021

There has been a lot of talk in Romancelandia about diversity of characters.

Most of my stories feature the M/F relationship construct. I love writing those stories. As many of my writing buddies are happily writing M/M. M/M/M/F, F/F and other relationships constructs, I don’t feel a driving need to write them. I simply read their stories. (grins)

The cyborg world IS diverse, however. There are all sorts of relationship constructs in existence all around my characters. There are human and humanoid males on Mercury Minor waiting to meet their male cyborg warriors. There are human and humanoid females waiting to meet their multiple male cyborg warriors. There are multigender and fluid gender and other beings also waiting.

When it comes to race and culture, well…the cyborg world encompasses the entire universe. There are blue beings from low technology civilizations and multicolor beings from advanced technology civilizations. The humans and humanoids and other beings in the universe are extremely varied. I think that is part of the fun of writing cyborg and alien romance.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – June 27th

By Cynthia Sax on June 27, 2021

My Awesome Formatter (the Dear Wonderful Hubby) completed the formatting for Baring Grudge, the third Rebel Cyborgs story (releasing in August). I’m reading it over one more time today and then hope to load it to booksellers.

Baring Grudge will still release in August because I need the next story written before a current story releases or my muse goes on strike. I get all wound up and the words stop flowing. B Free, the fourth story, remains a battle (literally and figuratively), which excites me because those tend to be my favorite stories (eventually – I hate it a bit at the moment – grins).

I sent out my newsletter this week. It had a bonus scene with Truth, Princess Nancy, Astrid and a mock battle on the Homeland. If you didn’t receive it, let me know!

I’ll be focused this upcoming week on writing B Free. I’m interested in seeing where this story is going. B and his female are great together and things are happening (all powerful, all knowing things – grins).

Have a wonderful day, my friends, and an awesome week! Stay cool if you’re in the midst of hot weather (I hear North America’s West is a bit steamy right now) and warm if you’re in the midst of cooler weather (I understand some of my friends in Australia are experiencing a dip in temperatures). I love you! Be safe!

Cyborgs And Earth

By Cynthia Sax on June 23, 2021

A reading buddy asked me if there will ever be a cyborg story set on Earth.

That COULD happen. I never say never. Whenever I do that, I’m usually presented with a story idea the very next day. (laughs)

But the probability is low.

Why?

Because the cyborgs were manufactured to fight the Humanoid Alliance’s (i.e. the humans’) wars against mostly non-human species. The majority of beings on Earth are humans.

And because most of the cyborgs were stationed far away from Earth. The Humanoid Alliance benefited from the physical distance between the less loyal humans (i.e. those not in deep with the Humanoid Alliance) and the cyborgs. The less beings knew about cyborgs, the less likely they were to figure out cyborgs are living, feeling beings, not emotionless weapons of war.

The Humanoid Alliance wanted to separate the majority of humans from the majority of cyborgs. The cyborgs would need a strong incentive to bridge that distance.

Cyborgs And Cleaning Cloths

By Cynthia Sax on June 22, 2021

In the cyborg world, the main method of cleaning skin and bodies is by using cleaning cloths.

Cleaning cloths are NOT wipes. (grins) They aren’t the little pieces of material some of us have been using to sanitize our hands during the pandemic. Those wouldn’t be effective at all for larger clean ups and for everyday use.

A few years ago, in the Before Times, I attended the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas and met a scientist/inventor. He was looking for funding for a project he was working on.

That project was a liquid-less fabric that could clean bodies, other fabrics, other surfaces. The technology it utilized was similar to electronic charges. The cleaning fabric was ‘recharged’ in a little machine.

He claimed his cleaning fabric was more effective than soap and water.

Cleaning cloths are an evolution of that idea. They are much more advanced and more effective than the demo cleaning fabric I saw.

You might be wondering…

Why don’t the cyborgs use water to clean themselves?

Water is more valuable than sunstones in the universe. Heck, I suspect in 300 years, drinkable water will be more valuable than diamonds right here on Earth.

The number of planets supplying water to the ever-increasing populations of humans and humanoids are few. Water can’t be squandered on cleaning beings or clothing or things. It has to be reserved for drinking.

So beings, being inventive, devised another solution – cleaning cloths. Cleaning cloths are portable, effective, can be used pretty much forever, and don’t require liquids.
