Tolkien And Supporting Writers
I resisted watching the movie Tolkien until yesterday.
Why?
1. I didn’t know it was an absolutely wonderful romance and the romance (with a happy ever after) is the heart of the movie.
and
2. Many movies about writers get this wonderful career so very wrong. They give us what non-writers think writers do and that can be frustrating to watch.
I was a dumb a$$. Tolkien is a wonderful film. I smiled. I cried. I highly recommend it, especially to other writers and people who love writers.
One of the things I absolutely LOVED about the movie was it shows how one person emotionally supported her writer.
Edith, Tolkien’s love interest, gives him a safe place to talk about his stories. She supplies him with story prompts, often starting the story for him. She is super okay when he takes the story in his own direction. She pushes back when she thinks he isn’t reaching deep enough (the discussion about language being important because it has meaning). She points out when he’s being Mr. Grumpy Pants and not writing the stories inside him (Oh boy, did I feel that one! The Dear Wonderful Hubby often has to push me into the writing cave as I become very grumpy when I’m not writing.).
This relationship isn’t without errors and mistakes ARE made. But Tolkien is articulate about his feelings and he points out when he doesn’t like the way she supports him. For example, Edith tells him to tell her a story and he gets huffy, replying he can’t perform on demand. She then switches to another tactic. She starts the story for him and he takes over that story, makes it his own. THAT works for them.
The movie shows that a supporter can be an important, often essential part of a writer’s team. Would Tolkien have become a great writer without Edith? I don’t know. I DO know his stories would have been extremely different.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I have a very similar Supporter-Writer relationship. He is the person I tell ALL my story ideas too. When I have story issues, he’ll suggest different solutions and that usually allows me to find my own solution. And he’s okay with that. He knows simply by listening, he’s being a valuable part of the writing team.
But our relationship was and still is a work-in-progress. He tries different tactics to support me. I tell him what works for me and what doesn’t and he adjusts his ‘tool box’ accordingly. Well over two decades of trial and error later, he is skilled at supporting me. I don’t know what I’d do without him. The Dear Wonderful Hubby is now a key part of my writing process.
Do you need a supporter like the Dear Wonderful Hubby or Edith to become a great writer? Of course not. You can write awesome stories on your own. But if you have someone who is willing to take on that role, it might be worth the training and the mistakes to nurture them.

* * *
Tolui is a Warlord in search of a planet to rule. He has been leading his fellow clones in a stealth battle, fighting for both control of the Chamele sector and the right to exist. The brave warriors he commands warrant respect, and they deserve the best.
That best isn’t the barren, dangerous terrain on Chamele 4. When Tolui crashes on that planet’s surface, he’s determined to leave it as soon as possible. The tiny human female rescuing him might be as beautiful and as wild as the land she inhabits, but her flowing words, trusting gaze, and enthralling submission won’t stop him from rejoining the war.
After many solar cycles of living alone, Lea is overjoyed when a tall, scarred, muscular warrior falls from the sky. Her savage stranger is strong and severe, and he makes her feel safe, an emotion she hasn’t experienced in a long, long time.
He also insists they must part. Before they do, she’ll show him the splendor of her home, and she’ll enjoy his big form, collecting passionate moments she can revisit when she’s solitary once more.
Every additional moment Lea and Tolui spend together increases the chance they’ll both die. Lea is being chased by female-hating fiends. Tolui is being hunted by the best bounty hunters in the universe. War will soon arrive on their threshold, and the blood spilled might be their own.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I semi-fast on Sundays. That means his tummy is super flat on Monday mornings (mine is a little less rounded). That also means I usually have cake for breakfast. (grins)

Dear Wonderful Hubby: (grins) You mean DQ (Dairy Queen – the ice cream shop).

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – June 28th
I’m moving these updates to Sunday because I’m a dumbass and forgot I usually share first chapters on Mondays. (sheepish grin)
My Facebook account is still being reviewed. I’ve sent emails to people at Facebook but have received no response (not even an auto response – which is frustrating).
I miss my Facebook buddies and it feels strange not being able to drop in on them online. I’m trying to tell myself this is simply a social media ‘vacation’. I’ve taken those in the past and they can be very good for the writing muse.
Last week, I received and completed the first round of revisions for Testing Truth, my next cyborg romance (releasing September 15th). My awesome editor says it is her favorite story in the Cyborg Space Exploration series. Woot! Testing Truth is now available for pre-order everywhere.
I also wrote the first draft of the first 5 chapters in Warlord’s Return, the next and the final Chamele Barbarian Warlords story (releasing in November). Oghul and his crew return to Carinae E and the Refuge, home of Kralj from Dark Thoughts, and I LOVE seeing all those (scarred) faces again.
I think you’ll really enjoy Warlord’s Return AND Testing Truth.

Warlord’s Mercy – How I Knew There Would Be A Villain Turned Hero Story
I’m a pantser, which means I write by the seat of my pants, not knowing the plot of any story or series. I often know the characters and the first/next scene in a story and that’s it.
But I suspected, from the first story, the villain in the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series (Tolui) might be the hero of his own story.
Why did I suspect this?
At the beginning of the series, the Warlord brothers have been battling the Succession Wars for many solar cycles. They had faced many rivals, defeated them.
The series wasn’t set during those battles, however. It began when only one rival was left.
Why was it being set then? What was different or special about this rival?
All I truly knew about the previous rivals was…they were unworthy of leadership. They didn’t care about all Chameles. They had private agendas. Some of those agendas weren’t very nice. It was an easy decision for Berke, Khan and Murad to battle them, to quash their rivals’ quests for the role of Warlord. Defeating them benefited all beings in the sector.
If Tolui was different, that meant…he WAS worthy of being a Warlord. He DID care about others. He was skilled and honorable and would make a great leader for Chameles.
That’s a hero.

List Of Cyborg Romance Series On Goodreads
I have allocated some of the time I previous spent on Facebook to completing tasks on my to do list.
One of those tasks was setting up another list. Yes. (grins) I had making a list on my list of tasks.
I’ve set up a list of Cyborg Romance series on Goodreads. (The link is here –
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/149758.Cyborg_Romance_First_In_Series )
These series ONLY contain cyborg romances. There will be at least one cyborg finding his/her romantic happy ever after or happy for now in each story.
I would very much appreciate it if you could add any series missing from the list (including my own – I don’t think a writer can add her own series/book).
#TeamCyborgForever !

Warlord’s Mercy Teaser
Here is a teaser from Warlord’s Mercy, my most recent release.
***
Her height and size brought out his protective side. The universe was a dangerous place for someone so fragile, so exquisite, so beautiful. The daggers secured in her garment’s built-in sheaths weren’t enough to safeguard her.
And she was alone.
He shifted his weight from his right booted foot to his left. The wound in his right thigh throbbed, the pain reminding him of the last time he’d shown a human female mercy.
Berke’s gerel, his enemy’s human female, had stabbed him with a dagger.
The ungrateful male had left her alone in the midst of danger. Tolui had grabbed her, had planned to take her with him before he blew up Berke’s ship,
She had been…unappreciative.
This new female might be unappreciative also, but he couldn’t walk away from her, not until he was certain of her situation.
Chameles looked unfavorably on humans, didn’t appreciate differences as he did. They discarded unmated females and orphaned children, forcing them into isolation, treating them as though they were worthless, a drain on their resources.
He shook his head. Berke and his kind also valued strength, a characteristic the little female didn’t have.
She was tiny and different. The female had likely been abandoned…as he had been. His lips flattened. He would ensure she wasn’t harmed, would offer her a home.
The arrangement would have to be platonic. Although he wanted her…badly, she was too small for his usage. His needs were too dark and twisted for her. He would break her into pieces.
And that would be his greatest transgression in a long lifespan of wrongdoing.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – June 22nd
My Facebook account is still being reviewed. The Dear Wonderful Hubby is convinced the baddies are the Humanoid Alliance. (grins) They’re not happy that I have been giving them bad press.
I won’t change my stance. I’m Team Cyborgs forever!
(laughs)
Testing Truth, the September Cyborg Romance release, is with my awesome editor. I LOVE this story and I think you’ll love it also. Truth is such a fun cyborg. There is never a dull moment around him.
I’m starting Warlord’s Return, the November Chamele Barbarian Warlords release, today. I THOUGHT the hero would be Yesun, the youngest warrior, but nope. He is still too young to be thinking about Romance. The hero will be Ariq, Oghul’s best warrior.

Other Chameles view him as the enemy.
She sees the warrior hero he never believed he could be.

Tolui is a Warlord in search of a planet to rule. He has been leading his fellow clones in a stealth battle, fighting for both control of the Chamele sector and the right to exist. The brave warriors he commands warrant respect, and they deserve the best.
That best isn’t the barren, dangerous terrain on Chamele 4. When Tolui crashes on that planet’s surface, he’s determined to leave it as soon as possible. The tiny human female rescuing him might be as beautiful and as wild as the land she inhabits, but her flowing words, trusting gaze, and enthralling submission won’t stop him from rejoining the war.
After many solar cycles of living alone, Lea is overjoyed when a tall, scarred, muscular warrior falls from the sky. Her savage stranger is strong and severe, and he makes her feel safe, an emotion she hasn’t experienced in a long, long time.
He also insists they must part. Before they do, she’ll show him the splendor of her home, and she’ll enjoy his big form, collecting passionate moments she can revisit when she’s solitary once more.
Every additional moment Lea and Tolui spend together increases the chance they’ll both die. Lea is being chased by female-hating fiends. Tolui is being hunted by the best bounty hunters in the universe. War will soon arrive on their threshold, and the blood spilled might be their own.

Passion Surge – Father’s Day Pick
Becoming a Father is a dream many of the cyborg’s have and Surge is no exception to this. He helped Rage and Joan’s offspring enter the universe, has been fascinated with babies of all kinds since then.
When Surge meet his female and discovers she has a newborn, he is thrilled…as are many of the warriors on the battle station he has been assigned to. Surge happily claims the offspring as his own.
I think that says so much about the cyborgs. They want to love. When they are given that opportunity, they often don’t hesitate to grasp it. They love that being or beings with all of their huge hearts.
***
Passion Surge
This cyborg never expected to become an instant father.
***
Surge is fascinated with newly manufactured offspring. He has studied them extensively, was one of the few medics present when the very first freeborn cyborg entered the universe.
He’s currently assigned to a battle station with an all-male crew. The probability of tending to an offspring is a dismal 0.0000 percent.
That changes when an unknown ship ventures into the sector they’re protecting.
Nu is an extremely exhausted single mom with a fussy newborn daughter. She has no time or energy for anyone or anything else. That includes a cyborg medic with gentle hands, brilliant blue eyes, and a voice deeper than space.
He claims she’s his female, the one being genetically designed for him. She has heard those types of declarations in the past.
Only a warrior without equal—and some much-needed rest—would prompt this universe-weary mom to believe in romantic love again.
***
Passion Surge is a short, light, companion story in the Cyborg Space Exploration series and is meant to be read after Doc’s Orders.
It is also a BBW Cyborg SciFi Romance featuring a medic cyborg, an extremely exhausted single mom, and the adorable little reason for her lack of sleep.
