This is a long weekend in my section of the universe. I plan to read and bake brownies and goof around with the Dear Wonderful Hubby today (Sunday) and tomorrow (Monday).
I’ll be thinking about the stories, however. That is one of the upsides (or the downsides, depending on how you look at it) of being a writer. There are no true days ‘off.’ Our stories rattle around our brains, even when we’re not writing.
The story in my brain right now is Containing Malice, the first story in the Rebel Cyborgs series (releasing in February). Malice is a C Model cyborg who was left behind during the mass rebellion. He’s angry, very, very angry, and much of that rage is directed at his female, the scientist experimenting on him. He doesn’t know she is as much a prisoner as he is…and she has a plan to set him free.
We WILL meet Power’s female in Containing Malice. (grins) I can’t wait for that!
Anyhoo… I start Containing Malice on Tuesday. I suspect there will be a few false starts with this story. There usually are. It takes me several tries to figure out when to start stories. But I am WAY ahead of schedule (due to the Great Pause) and I have plenty of time to get it right.

Testing Truth
A fun-loving cyborg gets serious about love.
***
Truth lives each moment as though it were his last. The cyborg warrior rushes into danger, teases beings he shouldn’t provoke, accepts every call of adventure he encounters.
When a prissy little human princess floats into the Rebel structure Truth is occupying, seeking a mercenary to assist her and her unusual entourage, he volunteers to be her warrior. She claims their assignment is dangerous, warns him he might not survive the task.
That is exactly the type of fun he has been seeking.
Princess Nanette of the planet Royaume must rescue her estranged brother from an enemy prison ship. That is her duty, and she has been trained to always place the needs of her planet and her subjects before her own. Nancy doesn’t have the freedom to indulge her passions for a certain dark-haired, gray-skinned cyborg. Not permanently and not publicly.
But she is unable to resist the warrior. Truth, with his laughing eyes, smiling lips, and rough hands, tempts her as no one else ever has. He could be her one fleeting act of rebellion before she’s matched with the powerful ruler her planet requires.
If they survive their current mission.
Their love is doomed. Their lifespans are at risk. This cyborg and his princess will need the help of every ally they have if they wish to see another sunrise.
