Containing Malice And Before Release Rituals

By Cynthia Sax on January 30, 2021

Containing Malice releases on Tuesday! Woot!

I’m super excited, can’t wait to hear what you think of this new cyborg romance story and series.

While I wait, (having completed my revisions for the unicorn shifter short story this week) there are a few things I usually do before a book releases.

I craft my newsletter. This will be sent out on Tuesday, Release Day, and will feature some fun facts about Containing Malice and some VERY bad jokes.
I eat chocolate. Well…I always eat chocolate. That is one of my key food groups and it fuels my muse. But I eat more of it than I usually do.
I worry I haven’t uploaded the finished copy to Amazon and other booksellers. I HAVE uploaded it. I’ve checked it a gazillion times. And if I haven’t done this by now, it is much too late. The story is locked at booksellers. But I worry because…that’s what I do.
I re-read the story about to release and find a gazillion typos I can’t correct because the story is locked. This happens EVERY time. There are no error-free stories out there. None. Yet I will torment myself by looking for these errors much too late. (grins)
I will look at pre-orders. If pre-orders are lower than they are for the previous story, I will often not-so-stealthily reach out to reading buddies (I know almost EVERYONE who reads and pre-orders my stories. Many of you have been with me from Releasing Rage or prior stories and you are part of my family.). If pre-orders are higher, I try not to do this. I know everyone is super busy and I also know you will reach out to me if you want to chat.
I eat more chocolate. (grins) And I bake brownies. I will often send some to my Awesome In-laws. The Dear Wonderful Hubby’s youngest brother loves the brownies.

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.
