Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – September 18th

By Cynthia Sax on September 18, 2022

Grin And Bare Him, the second story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in November) has been sent to my Awesome Formatter aka the Dear Wonderful Hubby. He is super busy with his day job right now but he has that formatting task in his queue.

Over Torque, the December FREE short story, has been sent to my Awesome Editor. She’s super busy also (it IS September, which is a busy time for many people) but it is in her equally long queue.

I’m now back to working on Raw Desires, the third core story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing likely in February). The first draft is zipping along.

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) In honor of Back To School season here in North American, learn or try something new. Consider treating yourself to a new pen or notebook. Slice up a favorite fruit in kid-sized portions. See the world through fresh eyes!

Provoking Odium

A Beautiful Cyborg

While accompanying his leader on a mission, Odium, an E Model cyborg, hears a distress call over the communication lines. The voice on that message makes his circuits surge with energy and all his systems light up. He has to respond to the mysterious female, would risk his lifespan and the lifespans of everyone on board their ship to protect her.

A Human Female Others Call Beast

Briella gained her nickname due to her flying abilities, her fearlessness, and her scarred countenance. 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.

Cover Reveal For Raw Desires

By Cynthia Sax on September 17, 2022

I have a cover for Raw Desires, the third story in the Cyborg Unity series (likely releasing in February).

This cover was crafted by the awesome Amanda Kelsey from Razzle Dazzle Design and I think it perfectly reflects Raw’s frustration with his cyborg-hating human female. (grins)

When I crafted this post, I didn’t yet have a blurb or buy links or a finished story for Raw Desires.

Using My Fancy Notebooks

By Cynthia Sax on September 16, 2022

Like many writers and readers, I have a HUGE collection of beautiful notebooks. I collect them. I store them. I don’t usually use them.

Until this year.

This year, I decided to start using these gorgeous notebooks. I picked out one and allocated it to my daily to-do lists. It felt very naughty to write in it. It was a bit stressful at first. The notebook was too pretty to use.

But writing in the fancy notebook felt…luxurious, decadent. My to-do lists seemed more special. I enjoyed writing the tasks down…and crossing them off.

Today, I’m writing in the last page of that notebook. My treat for completing my to-do list is picking out the next notebook to use.

And I will ALWAYS have a next notebook to use because I collect them faster than I could ever use them. (grins)

Consider using one of your fancy notebooks. You’re worth it, my friend.

Listening To The Science

By Cynthia Sax on September 14, 2022

One of the (many) things I love about cyborgs is…

They listen to the science.

Their machine side is logic-based. That part of them seeks to find explanations for everything. They trust in science, in experiments, in cause and effect.

Cyborgs might not always choose the most logical route, especially when decision involves their genetic matches, but they ALWAYS consider the science.

In today’s world here on Earth, that appeals to me. Greatly. (grins)

Why You Might Wish To Subscribe To My Newsletter

By Cynthia Sax on September 13, 2022

A reading buddy asked me if she could pre-order Over Torque, the December FREE short story.

That’s not possible.

This story will only be available through BookFunnel and will be listed there the day it is ready to be downloaded.

Amazon really doesn’t like FREE books. I can list stories there at 99 cents and then HOPE Amazon will price match to free but that is becoming harder and harder to do. The last time I offered a free short story, I sent them a message every dang day and they didn’t price match to FREE for three months.

I will be announcing in my newsletter when Over Torque is ready to be read.

To stay informed, consider subscribing here – http://cynthiasax.com/newsletter/

I send a newsletter once a month. It contains VERY bad jokes. On release months, I share insider information about stories. On non-release months, I share an update on past couples (and more). These snippets are only available to newsletter subscribers.

Muse Food – Making The Turn

By Cynthia Sax on September 12, 2022

I can envision a spaceship chase along this river’s path. When they make this turn, the tips of their vessels skim against the rock, leaving grooves, setting off sparks.

Maybe the enemy doesn’t slow and they crash into the wall of stone. The debris floats down the river to be picked up by metal salvagers.

The locals watch and shake their heads. “Humans,” they mutter. “Always in a rush.”

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – September 11th

By Cynthia Sax on September 11, 2022

I’m putting the finishing touches on Grin And Bare Him, the second story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in November). Then I will send it to my awesome formatter (the Dear Wonderful Hubby).

I also switched from writing Raw Desires, the third story in the series, to writing Over Torque, this year’s thank you short story (it will be available on BookFunnel in December). I plan to send that to my Awesome Editor by the end of the month. Then I will switch back to writing Raw Desires.

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Sing loudly and gloriously off key to a favorite song. Dance in your chair. Laugh at a terrible joke. Create some happy chaos. (grins)

Evolutionary Biology And Saving Seeds

By Cynthia Sax on September 10, 2022

I love many of the sciences. I follow the works of a gazillion scientists.

My favorite science is evolutionary biology – how lifeforms change over time to adapt to different conditions. This evolution is essential for survival. Our surroundings are changing. If we don’t change also, eventually we won’t survive where we currently are.

This is important. Especially now. Our climate is changing scarily quickly. Animals, plants, birds, insects, other lifeforms are struggling to match that fast pace.

Humans are attempting to help them. Experts are doing the bulk of that work. Some amateurs are trying also.

Then there’s me. (grins) I rank well below amateurs.

But I AM attempting to help by saving the seeds from the vegetables that survived the hotter, drier summer and managed to reproduce. The hope is…THEIR offspring will be better able to survive next summer.

Yes. (laughs) I’m doing the science.

Over Torque – This Year’s Thank You Short Story

By Cynthia Sax on September 9, 2022

Torque has found his female! Yes!

Torque last made an appearance in Provoking Odium. He’s the cyborg who is testing the defense systems at the border by blowing up non-functioning space ships.

His story will be short (about 50 pages) so it is perfect for this year’s thank you story (gifted in December).

This is a relief to me. I had no idea what I would write for this year’s short story. It turns out – I was waiting for Torque’s romance!

Tomatoes And The Mafia Squirrels

By Cynthia Sax on September 7, 2022

The Mafia Squirrels and I have come to an agreement.

I leave some of the ripe mini tomatoes on the low hanging branches for them.

And they leave my larger heirloom and beefsteak tomatoes alone.

(grins)

They taunt me, of course. The squirrels will eat the mini tomatoes VERY slowly while they sit on top of the fence and watch me weed the vegetable garden.

Sometimes, a bunch of them will gather and throw chestnuts at me from their perches in the chestnut tree. They chatter at me and at each other after every throw. I’m almost certain there is a contest over who can hit me. (laughs)

They are such menaces but they are adorable and I love them so much.
