I hope to get my stuff together today and have Holding Hoarse ready to share with you TOMORROW (which is Cyborg Monday – grins). This year’s short story, my gift to you, will be available on BookFunnel. I’ll send out the link tomorrow in my newsletter ( sign up is here – http://cynthiasax.com/newsletter/ ) and I will also post it here and on Instagram and Twitter.
All my FREE short stories and newsletter updates will also appear on my website’s Extras page ( http://cynthiasax.com/extras/ ). I’ll eventually put links to all my character updates there.
Why didn’t I load more updates this week?
Because Strain, the hero of the second Cyborg Rebels story – Under Strain, and his female are being predictably uncommunicative. I wrote a couple chapters in his story and became stuck.
Why?
Because I had the heroine living on the wrong planet for her. She looked around her, saw she wasn’t where she was supposed to be, and wouldn’t do or say anything.
Aargh! (laughs) She is as stubborn as Strain is.
Anyhoo… I relocated her to the planet she insists she belongs on. I’m hoping the words flow this week. I want to complete the first draft before the holiday fun starts.
(It will be social distanced/Zoom-heavy/chocolate-abundant holiday fun but, as I suspect this will be our first and last lockdown holidays, I REALLY want to focus on it and enjoy it to the max).

Warlord’s Return
Ariq is a barbarian warrior seeking a war.
He locates that battle when he meets Xareni.
* * *
Ariq is one of Chamele’s top warriors. A genetic predisposition to fighting, paired with intensive training and experience, has honed the scarred male into an effective killing machine. He loves war, can’t live without combat.
The Succession Wars, however, have finally ended and the Chamele sector is now at peace. Seeking excitement and purpose, the barbarian warrior accompanies his Second to the Refuge, an outlaw settlement on Carinae E. He hopes to locate the battle he’s been craving there.
Ariq finds that conflict and more when he meets his fated mate.
Xareni owes the Ruler of the Refuge a favor. That’s the only reason she has returned to the settlement. She doesn’t like crowds or structures or a certain barbarian warrior who insists on following her everywhere. It doesn’t matter that there’s a connection between them, that he makes her burn with desire, that he looks at her with heat in his dark eyes.
She’s a monster and monsters don’t need anyone.

Warlord’s Return is a STANDALONE Alien Barbarian SciFi Romance featuring a determined barbarian warrior, an equally resolute human female, and an eyeball-eating mini dragon.
