Qulpa, The Hero Of Warlord Sky, Is Interviewed At Dawn’s Reading Nook

By Cynthia Sax on January 30, 2019


Qulpa, my hero from Warlord Sky, has been interviewed at Dawn’s Reading Nook!


Here’s a snippet…

“Q: What was one of the most embarrassing things your author did to you in Warlord Sky?

Qulpa: A certain part of my body is…ummm…curved. (faces turns red) One of my gerel’s bots held out a straightening tool, seeking to fix that curve.”

Warlord Sky

No one grounds a barbarian warrior.

Qulpa, a Chamele warrior, lost everyone he loved in the brutal Succession Wars. Flying is the only thing that brings him joy. Serving as his team’s pilot is the sole duty he has left. Then a horrific crash leaves him injured and unable to fly.

The one being who can help him is also his gerel, the female destined to be his. She insists she doesn’t feel their connection. Qulpa is certain his beautiful mate is lying and nothing will stop him from finding out why.

Nayan knows the injured barbarian is her warrior, her one chance at a forever bond. His dominance makes her feel safe. His gentle touch inflames her passion. His kisses scorch her very soul. The tall muscular male tempts her as no one else has.

But she has a deadly secret. If it’s exposed, her injured male will lose more than his ability to fly. Both of them will die. She can’t take that risk, not for him, not for them, not for a lifespan filled with love.

Fact Vs Fiction

By Cynthia Sax on January 24, 2019

Coffee Time Romance asked writers


“How much of your real life bleeds over into your books? And do you worry that someone will be able to tell the fact from the fiction?”


Here’s a snippet from my reply…


“…when they ARE my emotions, the causes of those emotions are often different. I’ve never been chased by hostile aliens, for example. But I HAVE been chased by hostile humans. I’ve never lost a best friend during a military battle, as another example. But I HAVE lost a best friend to her battle with cancer. I’ve never fallen in love with a cyborg. I HAVE fallen in love with a human male (the Dear Wonderful Hubby).”

Books That Need A Prequel

By Cynthia Sax on January 9, 2019

Today’s blogging challenge from Long and Short Reviews is to talk about books we feel need a prequel i.e. another book set BEFORE the book we’d enjoyed. (See all of the blog posts on this subject here – http://www.longandshortreviews.com/category/miscellaneous-musings/ )

I’ll start with my own books. Of all of my books, I think Dark Thoughts deserves a prequel…except it wouldn’t be romance (and that is all I write). I’d love to write more about Kralj and the other modified humanoids’ time with the Humanoid Alliance, how they all met (can you imagine other modified humanoids meeting Kralj for the first time, not knowing anything about his powers?), how they escaped. There would be humor and action and, I suspect, quite a bit of blood (and, in Balvan’s case, skull crushing).

I think the prequel to Laurann Dohner’s Ral’s Woman would be very similar. Ral and his brethren are skilled warriors. The battle to enslave them must have been fierce. There COULD have been a tragic romantic storyline. Perhaps a paired warrior was separated from his female, forced to leave her, to spend years not knowing what she was doing, if she was alive. The likelihood of that happening is quite high.

Loretta Chase’s Lord Of Scoundrels, my benchmark book (and yes, a historical romance – benchmark books don’t have to be within the same subgenre), definitely warrants a prequel. Jess’ Grandmother is a firecracker, very much like Jess. We get hints in the book about the vivid life she is leading and must have led in the past, the men she had charmed, the unconventional things she had done. Again, her story might not be a romance but wow, it would be fascinating.

I’d read the heck out of any vampire novel’s prequel. Anne Rice has shown us how fascinating those can be. Vampires have lived such long, action-filled lives. Cyborgs and other near-immortals are similar. The cyborgs in my stories were manufactured for battle. They have huge databases filled with war stories.

What books do you think need a prequel? Would that prequel be in the same genre or niche?

Can love redeem a monster?

The Refuge is home to some of the most violent beings in the universe. Kralj, its leader, reigns over the remote outpost with terrifying ease, ruthlessly squashing any rumors of rebellion, killing anyone who breaks his rules. Primitive, deadly, powerful, he’s a monster, scarred both on his face and his soul. He has never met a being he couldn’t control.

Until he meets her.

Dita has one mission—to kill the three targets claiming sanctuary within the Refuge. Or so she claims. For the first time in his long lifespan, Kralj isn’t certain of another being’s intentions. The tiny assassin is immune to his powers, her thoughts unreadable. He can’t predict her movements, can’t control her, can’t stop wanting her.

Dita is rare, as unique as he is, and, to keep the residents of the Refuge safe, Kralj will have to kill her. But first, he’ll touch her, taste her, show her how passionate the beast inside him can be.

Dark Thoughts is a STAND-ALONE SciFi Romance.
The hero might be tall, dark, and scarred but don’t be fooled by his appearance.
He’s truly a monster.

Giving Back To Science

By Cynthia Sax on January 4, 2019

My stories wouldn’t have been possible without the insights and research completed by the scientific community. I read scientific articles, watch podcasts, contact scientists and other experts in the field directly to ensure my theories are sound.

MANY scientists and other experts contributed to the ‘challenges’ of cyborg self-healing and reproduction, for example. I couldn’t have written the cyborg series without their help.

Experts usually refuse financial compensation in return for their insights. As a thank you, I often make donations to their research projects.

I also donate a small percentage of monthly sales to ongoing projects.

Mote Marine Laboratory in Florida, for example, is making great contributions to the field of evolutionary biology (the key science in most of my stories) with their coral restoration program. They are ‘breeding’ corals to develop strains that can withstand higher ocean temperatures (i.e. global warming). This research is shared with the rest of the scientific community and is helping restore coral reefs all over the world.

To date, donations from sales of my books have been responsible for the planting of approximately 140 coral fragments.

The inspiration for this post came from a discussion with a reading buddy (waves to her). I hope to make this an annual feature. I think it is important to know your favorite writers compensate experts for the research they use. They give back to the community that has helped them.

Happy New Year!

By Cynthia Sax on January 1, 2019

Happy New Year!

I’m super excited about 2019.

There’s the new Chamele Barbarian Warlords series starting in January. Warlord Sky is the first story in that 6 story series.

Choosing Chuckles, the March cyborg story, has been sent to my awesome editor. I LOVE Chuckles and his bad, bad female. You first met this grumpy cyborg in Releasing Rage. He has been waiting for his female for a while.

I plan to release a story every second month, alternating between the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series and the cyborg series.

2019 will be amazing!

Doc’s Orders Spoiler Page

By Cynthia Sax on January 1, 2019

Reading buddies requested a spoiler page where we could talk about what happened in Doc’s Orders.

If you have any questions or comments, leave a comment on this post.

If you have not read Doc’s Orders, I do NOT recommend you read the comments.

Doc’s Orders

She wants both sides of her cyborg—the medic AND the beast.


A fully functional cyborg is balanced. His machine half and his organic half work together to produce the perfect warrior.

Doc isn’t fully functional.

The G Model operates at the two extremes. When his machine is in complete control, he’s the logic-driven medic, saving lifespans. Once his organics take charge, he becomes the savage beast…and beings die.

Both sides of Doc want to be the first to claim his female.

Allinen is one of the few beings in her small settlement who wasn’t born with a fated mate. Determined to belong somewhere, she has crafted a plan to leave the planet.

That plan doesn’t involve a huge stormy-eyed male who alternates between cool seduction and out-of-control ravishment. Doc isn’t her fated mate. Allinen knows that. But his dual nature and forbidden embraces tempt her to forget forever and indulge in more immediate delights.

Neither side of Doc views their relationship as being temporary. Her conflicted cyborg is prepared to battle her family, her planet and death itself to keep her.
