Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – December 19th

By Cynthia Sax on December 19, 2021

I’m still working on the first draft of Provoking Odium, the first story in the new cyborg series (releasing in May). I’ll be writing this first draft for a while. (grins) It will take longer than usual due to the holidays. I plan to spend some focused time with the Dear Wonderful Hubby at the tail end of December.

I received the first round of revisions for Seizing Power, the fifth core story in the Rebel Cyborgs series (releasing in February), from my Awesome Editor. She likes the story! Woot! There is work to be done, of course. There always is. But it is on track for its release date.

Have a magical week, my friends. (big hugs) If you’re in a cold part of the world, snuggle under the covers. If you’re in a hot part of the world, enjoy the sun (safely). Read some new-to-you books. Cherish every dang day! I’m so happy and so fortunate to have you in my life!

B Free

B is the last remaining B Model cyborg. All of his brethren, the beings he trained with, fought with, cared deeply for, have perished.

Or so he believes.

When he intercepts a communication mentioning the existence of one of his kind, he has to investigate its source. The message could be a trap set by his enemies. He’ll take that risk if it secures him the companionship he requires to be fully functional.

What he finds is a daring brown-eyed female who activates all his systems. She proudly proclaims she’s a researcher, brandishing that information like a weapon before her. He wants to kiss the sass off her beautiful face, protect her from the dangers around them, claim her forever.

Quinn is on a quest to locate the mechanics of an early-version cyborg. She believes the information captured within that frame will give her valuable insights into the past.

When her mission goes zombie-like beings levels of wrong, she comes face-to-face with a living, breathing B Model. He has big hands, a primitive countenance, and stern hard lips crafted for kissing.

She doesn’t trust him. And she doesn’t have time to indulge her desires.

Their shared enemies are chasing them, would kill to get their precious specimens back. One minor mistake could reduce B and Quinn to a mere line in the databases of history.

Bergdorf Goodman Window Inspiration

By Cynthia Sax on December 17, 2021

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I were in New York City recently and I found the windows at Bergdorf Goodman so very inspirational. (grins)

I thought they might serve as inspiration for my writing and reading buddies!

This ‘world’ is dominated by birds and insects. Look at the exciting diversity!

This ‘world’ is blue and sparkly and has a hint of space with the planets, the moon, the astrological signs.

Look at this wonderful cat ‘world’! The expressions on their cute little faces are wonderful.

Of course, we can’t have a cat world without a dog world. I like how the monochrome color scheme emphasizes the different shapes and forms of the doggies.

I love how the artist didn’t go for the obvious blue for the fish world. The purples give the impression of great depth.

And finally, we have this swirly psychedelic red and white world with a music theme.

Throwback Thursday – Testing Truth

By Cynthia Sax on December 16, 2021

I think of Testing Truth as my fairytale cyborg romance.

Princess Nancy, the heroine, is royalty. Truth, the cyborg hero, is…well…he causes chaos wherever he goes. There’s a prince (Princess Nancy’s brother) locked in a space tower…I mean a space prison. The royal entourage, Princess Nancy’s family of the heart, is the support system any heroine would love to have.

There are laughs and adventure and I think you’ll have a good time reading this story.

Testing Truth

A fun-loving cyborg gets serious about love.

***

Truth lives each moment as though it were his last. The cyborg warrior rushes into danger, teases beings he shouldn’t provoke, accepts every call of adventure he encounters.

When a prissy little human princess floats into the Rebel structure Truth is occupying, seeking a mercenary to assist her and her unusual entourage, he volunteers to be her warrior. She claims their assignment is dangerous, warns him he might not survive the task.

That is exactly the type of fun he has been seeking.

Princess Nanette of the planet Royaume must rescue her estranged brother from an enemy prison ship. That is her duty, and she has been trained to always place the needs of her planet and her subjects before her own. Nancy doesn’t have the freedom to indulge her passions for a certain dark-haired, gray-skinned cyborg. Not permanently and not publicly.

But she is unable to resist the warrior. Truth, with his laughing eyes, smiling lips, and rough hands, tempts her as no one else ever has. He could be her one fleeting act of rebellion before she’s matched with the powerful ruler her planet requires.

If they survive their current mission.

Their love is doomed. Their lifespans are at risk. This cyborg and his princess will need the help of every ally they have if they wish to see another sunrise.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – December 12th

By Cynthia Sax on December 12, 2021

I have finally decided which story I’ll write next! Woot! This week, I started writing Provoking Odium, the first cyborg romance in the next grouping of cyborg stories (releasing in May 2022). I’m super excited about this story. It grabbed me by the muse and wouldn’t let go.

Seizing Power, the fifth core story in the Rebel Cyborgs series (releasing in February), remains with my Awesome Editor. I expect to get it back sometime this week. I suspect there will be some DEEP revisions on it. It is such an important story and I want to ensure I do it justice.

Have a great week, my friends. (big hugs) Surround yourself with bright colors and shiny things. Give yourself a treat whether that is a new-to-you book to read, a piece of decadent chocolate or something else that makes you happy. Create a mini getaway in the middle of a day.

And know that you are loved.

B Free And What We Leave Behind

By Cynthia Sax on December 7, 2021

Quinn, the heroine of B Free, is a researcher, a variation on an archeologist. She excavates the terrain inhabited by older civilizations, looking at what those beings left behind for clues as to how they lived.

While writing B Free, I spent quite a bit of time thinking about what I’d leave behind. My stories might exist for a while. That would be wonderful. But I’d be pleased if my legacy was merely making a few reading buddies happy and maybe inspiring someone to write their own cyborg romances.

What would you like to leave behind?

More Containers

By Cynthia Sax on December 6, 2021

These containers, displayed in the Altos de Chavon Regional Museum of Archaeology in La Romana, Dominican Republic, were likely brought to the area on ships from Spain.

I think Quinn, the heroine from B Free, would love them. She couldn’t read them as they aren’t metal but she’d find them interesting.

I loved the color of this container. It was large. I would have to use both arms to hold it.

This container was much smaller…is the size of a large beer stein. I could envision the cyborgs drinking fermented beverage out of it.

This container is about the same size as the first one. I liked the warping of it.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – December 5th

By Cynthia Sax on December 5, 2021

Seizing Power, the fifth core story in the Rebel Cyborgs series, remains with my Awesome Editor. I hope she loves it as much as I do. (crosses fingers)

I did a whole lot of nothing this past week and it was glorious. (grins) I slept in. I spent time with the Dear Wonderful Hubby and other loved ones. I completed some light writing business tasks but nothing too intense.

And I dreamed. Quite a bit. I dreamed of future stories, of cyborgs and brave, daring heroines and yes, I dreamed a bit about aliens.

I still haven’t decided whether to write Odium’s story or the standalone alien romance that has been haunting me next. If I write the alien romance, Odium’s story will likely release in June instead of in May.

Have an absolutely wonderful week, my friends. (snuggly hugs) Sleep in if you can. Sip on a favorite beverage. Browse your virtual or physical bookshelves. Revisit your favorite book characters. Remember how you felt when you met them for the first time—that joy, that happiness, that love.

2022 Upcoming Releases

By Cynthia Sax on December 4, 2021

I usually give you a monthly update, sharing which stories will be releasing next.

I KNOW Seizing Power, Power and Eirene Ours/Cadet’s story will be releasing in February. The submission draft of that story (which I LOVE) has been sent to my Awesome Editor. I think you’ll really enjoy this cyborg romance.

I KNOW I will also be writing…

Provoking Odium – featuring Odium. We first meet him in Under Strain.

Grin And Bare Him – featuring Grin. We first meet him in Breathing Vapor.

Raw Desires – featuring Raw. We first meet him in Breathing Vapor.

Strive For Forever – featuring Strive. We first meet him in Breathing Vapor. (Grin, Raw and Strive are best buddies. It is fitting that they find their females at the same time.)

and

Intrepid Encounter – featuring Intrepid. We first meet him in Releasing Rage.

But I also have a great idea for a truly standalone alien romance. And that idea won’t let me rest. So I MIGHT write it before I write Provoking Odium.

I have exciting stories to write but no release dates yet. I will know those release dates in January…hopefully. (grins)

2022 is going to ROCK! Woot!

Cyborgs And Undergarments

By Cynthia Sax on December 3, 2021

A reading buddy asked me, “Do cyborgs wear underwear?”

No. (grins) They don’t wear underwear.

I doubt they’d wear underwear if they lived here on Earth with us. They are commando type of males. Heck, they don’t like wearing outer garments. They’d walk around naked all the time if that was feasible.

In the cyborg world, however, undergarments are usually built into the outer garments. A human female’s flight suit, for example, would have a built-in breast support. There would be no need for a bra. Yay!

(Beings, situated on the different planets the cyborgs visit, might wear undergarments if that is part of their culture, however.)

Welcome To December!

By Cynthia Sax on December 1, 2021

December is the last month in our year! We’ll soon say good-bye to 2021. Woot!

I’m looking forward to 2022. Seizing Power released in February and then the next series in the Cyborg saga begins.

December was originally the 10^th month. Decem means ten in Latin.

Many holidays, including Christmas, are celebrated this month. The Winter Solstice happens in the Northern Hemisphere. The Summer Solstice happens in the Southern Hemisphere.

There are also a gazillion meteor showers occurring in December including the Andromedids, the Canis-Minorids, the Coma Berenicids, the Delta Cancrids, the Geminids, the Monocerotids, the Phoenicids, the Quadrantids (sometimes), the Sigma Hydrids, and the Ursids.

Sending love to all my buddies celebrating birthdays and other special occasions in December. (big hugs) Wishing everyone much happiness in this last month of 2021.
