I’ve completed my mini reading vacation and am super relaxed AND super inspired. The plot for Under Strain was simmering in the back of my brain during the writing break and I’ve figured out some ways to make it even more wonderful than it already is.
This upcoming week, I’ll be working on that second draft. The plan is to complete the first 11 (of 18) chapters. I have a gazillion pages of notes and am ready to create some magic. (grins)
This past week, North Bound made the semi-finals for the Swoon Awards’ Best Science-Fiction Romance of 2020. Woot! You can vote (for up to FIVE titles per category) here – http://www.theswoonawards.com/2021/01/the-2020-swoon-award-semi-finals.html .
I’ve completed quite a bit of informal research on pandemics (due to personal interest and for Doc’s Orders) and the time period between the first vaccinations and achieving that 80-90% vaccination threshold is often the most dangerous and most deadly duration of any pandemic. This is NOT the time to relax our guards, my friends. Be as safe as you can. (big hugs) I’m taking this time to read more awesome books! Hey, when the universe speaks, I listen. (grins)

Containing Malice
This tormented cyborg craves vengeance…and her.
***
Malice, a C Model cyborg, has spent his long lifespan enslaved by the Humanoid Alliance. His cruel manufacturers have hurt him in all the ways a male could be hurt.
His enemy has now added a new weapon to their arsenal—a tiny human medic with soft hands and a delectable scent. She experiments on him multiple times a shift, delivering pain…and frustration.
He wants her. He also seeks retribution.
Once Malice frees himself, he plans to achieve both of his goals, taking Medic Illona captive and ending her research…permanently.
Illona is as much a prisoner as the cyborgs she experiments on. Since her arrival at the Human Alliance’s secret laboratory, she has carefully, stealthily, crafted a plot to free her test subjects. To conceal her covert activities, the medic has been forced to harm beings rather than heal them.
The being she has damaged the most is also the cyborg she fiercely desires— Malice, a huge, gray-skinned, blue-eyed C Model with massive hands and a voice deeper than space. He hates her, has good reason to do so, and, when he’s freed, there’s a high probability he’ll kill her.
Illona will take that risk to ensure he survives.
