Throwback Thursday – Warlord Reunited
Berke, the alien Warlord hero of Warlord Reunited, is an eldest brother and he takes his responsibilities, especially the duty of protecting others, extremely seriously.
He willingly sacrifices his own happiness and health to ensure his gerel, his human fated mate, is safeguarded.
Elle, his gerel, doesn’t know this.
And she is very, VERY angry about the tactics he has undertaken to protect her.
Killing-levels of angry.
(grins)
Warlord Reunited
This barbarian warrior’s cold demeanor hides the warmest of hearts.
* * *
Solar cycles ago, Berke, a savage Chamele Warlord, found his gerel, the one being he is destined to be with for all time…except he couldn’t embrace that fate. He was fighting a series of brutal wars.
To protect his little human female, he conveyed her far from the Chamele sector. He then returned to the endless battles, concealing his pain, his anguish, his need, under a thick layer of ice.
His gerel was safe. That was all that mattered to him.
When Elle was a young bounty hunter, she bonded with an arrogant warrior on a distant planet. She was deliriously happy…for a while. Then he dumped her in a strange settlement far from his home and left, never to return.
Their parting caused her excruciating pain—both physical and emotional. She endured it, earned the esteemed role of head bounty hunter of an academy, salvaged a bit of a life from the disaster her primitive warrior had made of it.
Now, two of her bounty hunters have made the same terrible mistake. Elle is determined to rescue her friends and break their connections with their Chamele Warlords.
While she is in the sector, she plans to kill the warrior she’d once considered hers. Elle is ending her relationship with Berke…permanently.
* * *
Warlord Reunited is based on a much shorter story sharing the same title.
It is a STANDALONE Alien Barbarian SciFi Romance featuring a warrior hero and a take-charge heroine set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

Growing Ginger Inside And Other Experiments
This past winter, I attempted to grow ginger inside our home.
At first, it was growing very well. I was super excited. It appeared as though this experiment would be a success.
Then the weather turned cold.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I keep our average home temperature at 16.5C/62F.
This, we discovered, is too cold for ginger. The plants decided the growing season was done and they…died.
Our growing ginger inside our home experiment failed.
And this is what gardening is – an experiment. We try something. It might have worked for other gardeners but our growing conditions are a little bit different and it might not work for us. Or it might work ever better!
We don’t know until we try it.

Take A Break From Social Media
Recently, the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I took a bit of a break from social media and the news.
We checked in to ensure our accounts were functioning but that’s it. We didn’t scroll. We didn’t read articles or watch the news.
(We DID ask a couple of reliable and wise people to contact us if something happened that we needed to be aware of immediately. Don’t worry. We weren’t careless with our safety in this way.)
This break was desperately needed. Our stress levels decreased. Our joy increased. Our emotional health greatly improved. I got a gazillion new story ideas. (grins) My dreams were AWESOME.
Another buddy only looks at the news and/or social media once a week. Again, she knows others will inform her if something urgent arises. But she also needs a break from the constant bombardment of bad news.
If you need a break and can take one, please do so, my friends.
(big hugs)
Keep yourself healthy and find some happiness!
Badge Bunnies
C.S. Sax
Enjoy four fun yet sizzling hot paranormal romances set in a future where genetically enhanced supercops keep the peace and mafia rabbits rule the underworld.
The Godrabbit
I am known by many names. My beloved mother called me Flopsy Lapin. Lady Grace Satin jokes that I am the wickedest rabbit in all of the world. Her father, Lord Satan, dares to label me a mobster street rabbit. You, my friend, may call me the Godrabbit.
Lady Grace is the only female I lust after. My bloodstained hands are unworthy of holding her, so when a high-class hooker with Lady Grace’s face, voice, scent, and everything else, wanders into my casino, I make her an offer she can’t refuse. This leads to a night I will never forget.
Note: The Godrabbit is a prequel to Protect And Serve: Badge Bunny
Badge Bunny
My name is Officer Drake. I’m genetically enhanced to be the best damn policeman there is. I can snap a werewolf in two. I can outrun a car. That’s not boasting. Those are the facts.
I’m designed to protect and serve, and when I spot a plush little bunny shifter by the name of Hunny Lapin, that is exactly what I do. I protect her from a strip club owning vampire and serve up her every desire in bed. ‘Course, that lands me in a whole heap of trouble, but it’s nothing I can’t handle. I’m a supercop, remember?
Legal Beagle
My name is Officer Wright. I’m genetically enhanced as one of the city’s finest, and a normal day for me involves plugging liquid sunshine into rogue vamps, tagging and bagging renegade werewolves, and putting the fear of the badge into all criminals.
But these are not normal days. While my partner takes a leave of absence to bang his bunny, I’m stuck on babysitting duty. Yeah, stop laughing. It would be more humorous except the chick I’m tailing is a hot little beagle-shifting judge, and when she takes the bench, believe me, my whole body comes to order.
Speed Demon
My name is Officer Sargent, Sarge to friends and fellow police officers. You might have heard some rumors about me, but they’re all lies. I’m not gay. I’m not. The reason I watch my partner’s back is because that’s what cops do; we watch out for each other. It has nothing to do with his broad shoulders or trim hips or shapely butt.
My partner Nero is a demon, and he has a sick sense of humor, tricking me into thinking things no straight man should ever think. I’m a genetically enhanced supercop, and I can handle his devilish magic.
That is until the unthinkable happens.

Muse Food – Landslides And Foreshadowing
Almost everything in life can be ‘predicted’ or foreshadowed at least a little bit.
There are often rumblings before a landslide. There might be near misses in a dangerous intersection before a fatal crash happens. A job seeker has a third interview before they’re offered a job. A condom breaks months before a ‘surprise’ pregnancy.
When crafting your story, consider putting in subtle foreshadowing.
Give readers who pay attention to details the absolute joy of guessing the next ‘surprise’ twist correctly. And other readers who guessed incorrectly, the ‘Duh. I should have seen that coming.’ experience that takes your story to the next level of awesomeness for them.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – March 8
I was planning to take a longer break from writing but…I couldn’t. The story was calling. I had to start writing the 1st draft of the 5th installment of the Super Secret Project.
This is a happy problem to have.
(smiles)
Have a wonderful week, my friend. (big hugs) I hope you are dealing with some ‘happy problems.’ Like having… too many friends wanting to spend time with you, a furbaby who won’t leave your lap because they are so happy there, a tbr (to-be-read) pile of books you want to read all at once and too much delicious chocolate. You deserve all the happy problems! (grins)
Cyborg Sizzle Escape Omnibus
Half Man. Half Machine. All Theirs.
* * *
While these cyborg warriors battle to escape their cruel manufacturers, they find the human females they are destined to love for all eternity.
This omnibus includes the first seven stories in the Cyborg Sizzle series: Releasing Rage, Breathing Vapor, Being Green, Crash And Burn, Defying Death, Chasing Mayhem and Jumping Barrel.
All of these Cyborg Romances are set in a dark, gritty, often violent universe.
Releasing Rage
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.
Breathing Vapor
Vapor is the most advanced cyborg the Humanoid Alliance has ever developed. He’s a finely honed weapon, a warrior without parallel, half man and half machine. No lock can contain him. No being can stop him. Whatever he wants, he takes.
He wants Mira Breazeal, the Designer’s daughter.
Being Green
Green, a cyborg warrior, cares for one being—his plant Windy. When Windy becomes sick, he’ll do anything to heal her, even venture across the universe to visit a worlds-renowned plant doctor.
He doesn’t expect to find love.
Crash And Burn
Crash was manufactured to be one of the best warriors in the universe. The cyborg has spent many human lifespans fighting the enemy. But, unlike his battle-loving brethren, he doesn’t enjoy killing. When he escapes the Humanoid Alliance, he vows to never end another life.
Then he meets Safyre, an infuriating human female, and he considers breaking his vow.
Defying Death
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.
Chasing Mayhem
Mayhem has spent his lengthy lifespan obeying the Humanoid Alliance’s rules. Finally free from their cruel control, the cyborg warrior plans to cause chaos. He infiltrates a remote settlement, provokes the savage locals until they want him dead, and allows himself to be captured by the sexiest little Retriever he has ever laid his mechanically-enhanced eyes on.
Jumping Barrel
Barrel requires an Expert for the Tau Cetian orphans. He’s looking for a female who is willing to commit to a lifespan-long role, who is comfortable with moving off planet, and who, preferably, has the ability to speak the offsprings’ first language.
His female, however, is looking for a hero.

The Changing Of The Seasons
It is Spring-like in my corner of the universe.
I love Spring.
I love how the snow melts and creates little streams all over the place, all of that water hurrying along, going on a big adventure.
I love how the plants poke out of the ground, creating greenery where there once was none, babies who, if given a chance, could grow into giants.
I love the chirping of the baby birds, missing their parents, calling out for their next meals, knowing their parents are out there sourcing those meals for them, loving them.
I love the hope and the fresh starts and the newness. It makes me happy.

Atlas And Super Attractive And Sympathetic Villains
Spoiler Alert – This post will talk about Atlas and it WILL contain spoilers. If you haven’t yet watched this SciFi Action movie, you might wish to skip this post.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I watched Atlas, a SciFi movie featuring a human heroine and an AI mech body suit with his own personality.
I wouldn’t watch it again but it was entertaining.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby’s favorite part was when the heroine admitted to not liking anyone, saying that people just disappoint. He teased me that the heroine sounded like me.
(grins)
My biggest issue with Atlas is…
The villain is ridiculously sexy. Simu Liu is hot as he is but they gave him cyborg eyes and… (bites fist). My stars. I wanted to lick the screen.
His motivations are also understandable. Humans are f*cking up the world, creating misery and killing all other species. He wants to reduce the human population and put AI in charge to curb our rather violent tendencies. Which…well…it isn’t a bad long term plan for the planet.
This combination caused me to be conflicted. While I didn’t cheer for the villain, I also didn’t want him hurt or defeated. I definitely didn’t want him killed. My ideal resolution is he is sent to a planet where he can build more of his kind, protect the locals (likely from species like us), and find some sort of peace.
Yes, I’ve rewritten the ending in my brain. I wasn’t happy with the one provided.
The lesson here is…
Don’t create a villain your audience or reader doesn’t want to see defeated.

Throwback Thursday – Seeking Vector
Folks say secrets always come out.
I don’t believe this is true. I think some secrets go to the grave with us. We merely don’t know that has happened because…well…no one knows about them. They are kept secret.
(grins)
This is NOT the case with Vector’s secret, however. Someone HAS uncovered it.
And this cyborg captain will do ANYTHING to stop this unknown entity from sharing it.
Seeking Vector
A cyborg with a secret… A female seeking the truth…
Vector, the C Model captain of the Freedom, is a cyborg many warriors wish to emulate. He fights fiercely, leads with honor, has earned the respect and loyalty of his crew. But no being, not even a cyborg, is perfect. Since arriving at the Homeland, Vector has been hiding a dark truth about his past. If his secret is exposed, he could lose everything – his position, his ship, and his life.
Kasia excels at uncovering secrets. Half a lifespan ago, her curiosity placed her on the Humanoid Alliance’s kill list. Now she has accessed information the cyborg council would prefer remain hidden. Their warriors are hunting her and won’t rest until she’s dead.
When Vector arrives on her battle station, all grim determination, gray skin, and bulging muscles, Kasia knows he has been sent to kill her. That doesn’t stop her from wanting the dominant cyborg. She senses the savage nature under the male’s controlled exterior, sees the mysteries in his brilliant blue eyes, craves the roughness of his touch. She will risk all she has to experience his embrace.
Kasia braved the cyborg council’s ire for a reason. If she doesn’t convince Vector to act on the information she uncovered, the enemy could destroy his home planet and render every cyborg in the universe immobile.
Can a doubting C Model warrior learn to trust and to love before it is too late?

Gardening – Diversify Your Garden
The weather in my part of the universe last year was…strange. And the vegetables I expected to do well didn’t. The vegetables I often planted for fun, however, did well.
I was happy that I planted a wide variety of vegetables.
The weather in 2026, I suspect, will be as strange. But likely in a different way.
So a big focus of my garden plans this year is diversity. I will plant just about everything and hopefully something does well.

Gardening is an adventure. Be adventurous in your plant selection!

Do Something Random
We, humans, are creatures of habits. We tend to do the same things at the same times in the same ways. This is comfortable. This is easy.
This is…boring.
And boring is bad for our brains. Our brains need exercise and new gives this important part of us a great and fun workout.
So do something random today.
Listen to a new-to-you radio station for a song or two. Pick up a book from a library’s display table. Take your guidance system’s most fuel economic route home. Go into the vegetable section of your grocery store and buy one of whatever vegetable is located in the fifth bin to the right of the romaine lettuce.
Embrace the chaos of random comfortably. (smiles) Your brain will love you for this!
