I sat down (virtually) with Pearl Foxx for a short interview. Today is the release day for Pearl Foxx’s Chance, Book One in her Cyn City Cyborgs series!
Cynthia Sax: What is your favorite line from Chance and why?
Pearl Foxx: “I promise. Not all of me’s made of metal.”
I actually like this line so much, I put it in my blurb. First of all, it just cracks me up because it’s so scandalously innocent, yet it immediately makes you think about his penis. Second of all, I think it shows a rare moment of Chance accepting his cyborg status. He hates being a cyborg and this touch of playfulness around the topic lets the reader see behind his walls and into the man inside.
Cynthia Sax: It is an awesome line! Where is Chance set?
Pearl Foxx: CHANCE happens on a future Earth. If you’ve read the Shifter of Kladuu series, you’ve seen the Zynthar Space Station and a little bit of Earth already. But this time we’re in Cyn City, old Manhattan, with the drop-off leading out to the dead dessert of North America on one side and the Deluge holding back the rising ocean on the other. Cyn City is gritty and dark. Always in the shadow of the sparkling skycity that hovers above the old buildings. Here people feel the pressure of survival, the desperation of making it just one more day. The city hardens everyone who lives there, but sometimes all you need is a little push to remember what it’s like to live in the light.
Cynthia Sax: That is so true. Is Chance part of a series and will you be writing more stories in this series?
Pearl Foxx: This is a series! ENVER will be coming in late April with a minimum of a third book coming soon after that. While Cyn City Cyborg piggybacks on Shifters of Kladuu, you do not have to read one series to enjoy the other. But if you have, you’ll have fun revisiting some places and people you’ve met before.
Cynthia Sax: What do you love about writing Science Fiction Romance?
Pearl Foxx: I adore the chance to play in new worlds and different times, while still telling the timeless stories I love to read. The most exciting part of story-telling to me has always been world building, whether it be on the far off planet of Kladuu or here at home in a distant future. While the future Earth in Cyn City Cyborgs is a dystopia, Science Fiction Romance has so much room for creating hopeful storylines and beautiful locations.
Creating new cultures, new species, new social rules is a huge amount of fun. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I’ve enjoyed writing!
Cynthia Sax: It IS fun! Thank you for joining us today, Pearl Foxx!

*****************************************************************************
“I promise. Not all of me’s made of metal.”
A cyborg with a mysterious and dangerous past.
A naive girl fleeing the dying farmlands to forge her own future.
Chance has fought his entire life, first for survival in the streets of Cyn City and later for money and prestige in the underground Cyborg Fight League. His fists and cybernetic arm have solved almost every problem he’s ever faced, except for love. After losing the love of his life, he never thought he’d find someone again.
Verity left behind everything she knows to start a new future in Cyn City. But her Ecovangalit upbringing left her unprepared for the hard realities of life amongst the criminals and cyborgs. When a dangerous cyborg with a bad reputation proves to be the only person she can trust, can she lower her walls enough to let him in?
As Verity finds herself in debt to the wrong kind of man who will sell her body as fast as he will sell her soul, Chance is the only one who can clear her ledger, but only if he’ll fight in the Cyborg Underground Circuit again.
Is Chance strong enough to win the only fight that ever mattered?
Each book in the series is fully stand alone and can be read in any order.
Book One: Chance
Book Two: Enver
More To Be Announced!
