Throwback Thursday – Dark Cure
Have you ever had a one night stand that just…didn’t…end?
This is the situation Gisella, the Refuge’s human medic, is facing.
What she wanted was just one night of stress-relieving no-strings-attached hot-as-the-desert-sands sex.
What she gets is all that plus a dominant determined alien warrior with claws who insists she’s his one and only fated mate.
A warrior seeking forever faces a medic living in the moment.
Gisella, the Refuge’s medic, is dedicated to her role. She doesn’t have the space in her lifespan for love, a mate, or children. Healing is her entire focus.
But she’s also a female in her prime. She has needs, wants, cravings…especially for a scarred, long-haired barbarian warrior temporarily residing in the settlement. One fierce, soul-blasting, passion-filled encounter is all she is willing to give him before she returns to her duties.
Oghul, a Chamele Warlord’s Second-In-Command, has waited his entire lifespan to find his gerel, the being fated to be his. He’s thrilled to discover she wants him as savagely as he yearns for her.
His little human medic appeals to his primitive possessive side. Greatly. He wants to stamp his ownership all over her bountiful curves, take her back to his home planet, claim his fiery female permanently.
When Carinae E’s solitary sun rises, two determined beings with very different desires find their lifespans entwined. Their battle for emotional supremacy will span systems and alter destinies.
The universe will never be the same.
Dark Cure is a STANDALONE SciFi Romance set in a gritty, dark world.

Gardening – What Did You Not Eat?
When I’m completing a review of a gardening season, I pay special attention to the fruits and vegetables we had excess of and/or didn’t eat.
It makes little sense to devote precious gardening space to fruits and vegetables we don’t want.
This past season, for example, we had a LOT of kale.
Kale is awesome. It is both drought and cold resistant.
And we like kale.
In small quantities.
But we didn’t need to have thirty plants.
So next gardening season, we’ll reduce the amount of kale we plant. We’ll likely swap in swiss chard, which we didn’t have enough of.
What fruit or vegetables did you grow and didn’t eat?

Change The World
When we talk about changing the world, we often think of huge actions like arranging a protest rally or figuring out how to decrease all the plastic waste currently in existence.
But it is actually quite easy to change the world.
*
You donate a can of soup to a food bank, for example.
That soup gives someone else a meal, allowing that someone to focus on the exam she’s taking that day.
Doing well on that exam helps land her a scholarship.
She goes to school in a science program.
And eventually cures cancer.
*
Or you smile at a mom struggling with two toddlers in the grocery store.
She feels a bit better, treats her toddlers with more kindness.
The toddlers grow up. And one of them starts a charity, helping young single moms.
Which results in hundreds more kids growing up feeling supported and happy.
And a few of them start charities also.
*
You will likely never know how your kindness has changed the world for the better.
But I assure you
it has.

What is happening BEHIND your main characters? What does the scene look like from the back view?
Sometimes looking at the scene from a different angle sparks magic within us.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – October 18
I’m almost halfway through the first draft of the 10th installment of the Super Secret Project. There will likely be 15 installments (which will end up being a trilogy of long novels) so I’m at a point where everything is starting to come together and the conflict is escalating. (smiles) It is very exciting.
Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) It is spooky month, as I like to think of October. Read something spooky. Watch a spooky movie. Dress spooky (lots of black, maybe a spider-themed brooch or something like that). Have fun with it. Life is too short to be serious all the time!
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.

An Object In Motion
Part of Newton’s First Law Of Motion states that an object in motion stays in motion.
I find that’s certainly true for me.
(grins)
When I start taking action, I most likely continue to take action.
I have days when I get sh*t done in a big way. I complete task after task.
And when I have one of those days, I usually work with it. I keep going until I’m physically or mentally done.
Because I often find it more stressful on me to stop.
If you’re in motion, consider staying in motion.

Naps Are Awesome
I’ve always taken naps.
At university, they allowed me to both party all night at the school pubs and attend class clearheaded.
Now, they allow me to do the tasks best completed early in the morning (for example: watering the garden during gardening season) and indulge my natural night owl tendencies. (The Dear Wonderful Hubby is a night owl also. – smiles)
There’s nothing wrong with taking naps.
Take them if they make you happy!

Throwback Thursday – Chasing Mayhem
Mayhem is one of the wildest cyborgs in existence. He knows he’s wild. That’s why he chose the name Mayhem.
(grins)
Imee, his genetic match, is all about duty and survival. She has a terrible job to do and she does it. Well. Because the lives of her loved ones depend upon her.
Her job is about to get a whole lot more complicated.
Wild. Free. Hers.
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.
Imee’s sole mission in life is to keep her family alive. To do this, she must hunt rebels, returning them to the Humanoid Alliance’s evil clutches where they will be executed. She doesn’t allow herself to feel anything for her targets…until she meets a tall, muscular cyborg with wild hair and even wilder eyes.
With his sure hands, laughing lips and erotic holds, Mayhem makes Imee’s body sizzle and her resistance melt. Their love is doomed. She must deliver the warrior to his death or she’ll place her family’s safety at risk. But she can’t resist him.
Imee soon discovers that Mayhem, life, and love are never predictable.
Chasing Mayhem is Book 5 in the Cyborg Sizzle series and is a STANDALONE story.
It is also a BBW Cyborg SciFi Romance.

Gardening – What Could Have Gone Better This Season?
Last week, we talked about what went right this gardening season.
This week, let’s talk about the challenges.
What could have gone better? Which crops failed? What will we change during the next gardening season?
In the Sax garden, our eggplants failed. Many of the plants were immediately devoured by slugs and insects. The few plants that survived didn’t grow quickly enough to produce fruit.
In 2027, we plan to plant nasturtiums as a ground cover around the eggplants. We hope that these flowers will act as trap crops, distracting the slugs and insects away from the eggplants.
Our asparagus was also decimated, which was a challenging loss to accept as we had been waiting for years for that first asparagus harvest. Even the professional growers in our area lost their plants so I don’t think we could have done anything differently to save them.
We will be starting asparagus from seed in 2027. We’re hoping this will make them a bit tougher. And it is more economical in case we have another loss.
What were your gardening challenges this season?

Ease Your Fears
When the Dear Wonderful Hubby plans to go to bed after I do, he turns on the light on his side of the bed. We joke about it being the anti-monster light. He knows I don’t like to sleep with the lights off unless he’s sleeping beside me, protecting me.
I’m not scared of the dark. I’m scared of sleeping alone (i.e. without someone I trust by my side) in the dark.
I accept this.
I’ve shared this with the person I love.
We take this small step to ease my fears.
Fears aren’t always rational but they ARE very real. If it doesn’t harm anyone else, take steps to ease your fears.
If you’re food insecure (as I am), for example, have an emergency case of beans in your pantry. If you’re scared of walking home alone, ask a friend to walk with you. If you’re scared of spiders, arrange to have your home cleaned (by friends or a paid professional or someone else) every week.
Do what YOU need to do to feel safe, my friends.
