Ten Days Until (Another) Doomsday
Chatter on social media is November 13th will be Doomsday.
I have lived long enough to have ‘survived’ many predicted Doomsdays. 2012 was a highly publicized one. As was December 31, 1999.
I kind of like these predictions.
Why?
Because it reminds us that life is short and life is precious and we shouldn’t take it for granted. It is reminder of what is truly important (the people and furbabies and plants and other beings we love).
In the movie, Troy, Achilles says “Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed.” And this is so true. We savor each bite of life when we think it might be our last.
Do that today, my friend. Savor each bite of life – the good, the bad, the silly.

Muse Food – Providing A Home
The Dear Wonderful Hubby crafted a bee hotel this summer.
We value bees (and other insects). We want them to feel welcome in our yard.
So we created another possible home for them.
If a society values a being, they provide a home for that being.
Who does the society in your book world value?

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – November 1
I am motoring along on the second draft of the tenth installment of the Super Secret Project. I love this huge story. I love that I’m taking my time telling it. I love that I’ve broken it down into chunks so I feel I’m progressing in it. It gives me such joy!
Have a wonderful week, my friends! (big hugs) It is the day after Halloween. Take a moment and look through all the cute photos of furbabies dressed in costumes that are posted on social media today. Some of those cats don’t look very happy, do they? (laughs) If you have too much leftover candy, consider donating it to a food bank. Everyone deserves a treat and you’ll be giving someone who needs it joy and isn’t that a wonderful power to have?!
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.

Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween to everyone who celebrates!
Woot!
This is my favorite celebration of the year. I love feeding people. That is how I show love. And that includes feeding strangers. I love kids. They are such unique little beings, full of wonder and truths. (smiles) I love costumes and magic and the possibility to be whoever or whatever we want to be, if only for one fantastical day of the year. And I love those tiny chocolate bars. I feel like a giant when I eat them.
Have a great Halloween, my friends!

Candy For Everyone
(This is stock art. We’ll be giving out Nestle chocolate bars which are peanut free here in Canada and are produced locally.)
It has been a challenging year thus far…for everyone.
Tomorrow, kids and teens and maybe some adults will be trick or treating. They will be coming to our door, hoping for candy or stickers, kindness and magic. (smiles)
And we will try to give this to them.
I don’t care if the person is wearing a costume. Or if the person is 3 years old or 53 years old. Or if they say the words or speak at all.
EVERYONE gets chocolate and chips and stickers, a smile and, hopefully, some magic.
And we might get some magic in return.
(smiles)
During a past Halloween, we met two guys who were visiting from Africa who really wanted to experience a North American Halloween, something they had only seen on TV and in movies.
They trick or treated in their business suits and had their entire families on their phones as they did this (the kids were super excited despite the time difference).
Everyone was utterly enchanted by the experience.
And we heard those I suspect otherwise serious businessmen laughing and teasing each other as they walked away with their chocolate and chips and stickers.
It was MAGICAL, my friends. And I want this for you!
EVERYONE gets candy tomorrow!
Woot!

Throwback Thursday – Hers To Command
Hers To Command is a M/M/F romance. It is the only one I’ve written in the cyborg universe…thus far.
Cyborgs are half human. Any sexuality or gender diversity found in humans is also found in cyborgs. There are bisexual cyborgs, trans cyborgs, gay cyborgs, etc.
I merely haven’t written their stories…yet.
(smiles)
Three Battered Hearts. One Perfect Love
Ace and Thrasher share a special bond. They’ve never acknowledged that connection and have never fully acted on it. The Humanoid Alliance kill cyborg males like them, deeming the warriors to be defective. Now that Ace and Thrasher have escaped, they don’t trust the cyborg council and their brethren to react any differently. Physical love is too risky for them to consider.
Until they meet her.
Carys is the Commander of a Rebel Battle Station. She has dedicated her lifespan to seeking vengeance against the Humanoid Alliance and the cyborgs who killed her daughter. On her battle station, she makes the rules, and if she wants to kiss, touch, and pleasure two mysterious warriors, she will. Nothing, not even enemy warships and a mass cyborg rebellion, can stop her.
In the midst of a war, enemies can become lovers and loyalties can change in a moment. Can a forbidden relationship between two cautious cyborgs and one unbending human Commander survive?
Hers To Command is Book 8 in the Cyborg Sizzle series.
Due to the number of returning characters in this story, you’ll enjoy Hers To Command more if you’ve read the other stories first.
This is a MMF BBW Cyborg SciFi Romance.

Picking Tomatoes Green
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I are preparing to take down the tomato plants and reset that bed.
MANY of the tomatoes on these plants are still green.
And that’s okay.
We pick them and bring them inside the house to ripen.
In the past, we’ve placed them in a single layer in shallow cardboard boxes (from receiving books from Amazon – grins). We then stack these boxes and glance through them every few days, removing the ripe ones.
A couple years ago, however, the Dear Wonderful Hubby lucked into some discarded also stackable tomato display holders at a grocery store. So we have fancy ripening trays now. (grins)
In our experience, about 95% of the tomatoes, no matter the stage of green or the type, ripen within two months.
Which means we have fresh homegrown tomatoes for the rest of the year! Yes!

Yucking Other People’s Yum
I posted a cute story this summer about the Mafia Squirrels stealing the paintbrush I use to hand pollinate the squash and cucumbers.
Someone commented a bit of nonsense about how hand pollination is destroying the world.
(I don’t think he understands what hand pollination is or much of anything about gardening.)
This isn’t the first time he’s left a comment like this.
Any time I post something joyful, he comments, criticizing it.
I’ve reached the conclusion that he is trying to steal my happiness around any task or thing I love.
He is deliberately yucking my yum.
This is an act of hate, not of love or friendship.
And, in this tire fire world, I don’t have the energy for this.
(shakes head)
I blocked him and moved on with my life.
Don’t yuck other people’s yum (if that yum doesn’t directly hurt others).

Muse Food – Bringing Two Characters Together
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I planted these two magic carpet thymes (SUCH a great name) a little bit apart, thinking they would grow together fairly quickly and created one big patch.
Instead, they are trying their best to grow in the other directions.
And this is often how romance plots flow in a romance novels.
Two (or more) characters are placed in close proximity to each other. They have things in common and you would think they would become one fairly quickly.
But instead, there’s conflict and they look like they are growing apart, perhaps forever.
But we know, as with the magic carpet thyme, they will eventually become one solid unit.
(grins)

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – October 25
I’m continuing to happily craft the first draft of the tenth installment of the Super Secret Project. Action is building to the dark moment. (grins) I can feel the tension and it is delicious!
Have a wonderful week, my friends! (big hugs) This is Halloween week so let’s get into the Halloween spirit. Wear black or orange. Stir some soup (bonus points for cackling – laughs). Do the Monster Mash. Eat tiny chocolate bars and pretend you’re a giant! Have fun with it, my friends!
