Cynthia Sax Upcoming Releases
I have a tentative release schedule for 2022. It is tentative because that alien romance idea is still floating around my brain and I might write it between two of the cyborg romances. That means release dates might change but the order of the new series will remain the same.
I am SUPER excited about these upcoming releases. I can’t wait for you to read Seizing Power in February. I love this story and I think you’ll enjoy it also.
I’m getting excited about Odium’s story also. I suspected Odium had some hidden damage but I didn’t realize the depth of this cyborg warrior. He constantly surprises me…in a good way.
February 2022 – Seizing Power (In Edits)
New Series!
Cyborg Unity
June but hoping for May 2022 – Provoking Odium (First Draft Is Being Written Now)
August 2022 – Grin And Bare Him
November 2022 – Raw Desires
February 2023 – Strive For Forever
May 2023 – Intrepid Encounters

B Free
B is the last remaining B Model cyborg. All of his brethren, the beings he trained with, fought with, cared deeply for, have perished.
Or so he believes.
When he intercepts a communication mentioning the existence of one of his kind, he has to investigate its source. The message could be a trap set by his enemies. He’ll take that risk if it secures him the companionship he requires to be fully functional.
What he finds is a daring brown-eyed female who activates all his systems. She proudly proclaims she’s a researcher, brandishing that information like a weapon before her. He wants to kiss the sass off her beautiful face, protect her from the dangers around them, claim her forever.
Quinn is on a quest to locate the mechanics of an early-version cyborg. She believes the information captured within that frame will give her valuable insights into the past.
When her mission goes zombie-like beings levels of wrong, she comes face-to-face with a living, breathing B Model. He has big hands, a primitive countenance, and stern hard lips crafted for kissing.
She doesn’t trust him. And she doesn’t have time to indulge her desires.
Their shared enemies are chasing them, would kill to get their precious specimens back. One minor mistake could reduce B and Quinn to a mere line in the databases of history.

Needing Valor And When Friends Find Love At The Same Time
Valor, the hero of Needing Valor, finds his female less than a solar cycle after Malice, his best friend, is paired up. Halleli, the heroine, finds love the same planet rotation her best friend uncovers the identity of her fated mate.
I’ve seen this happen here on Earth. Two best friends will find love around the same time. I have some theories about this—one being that once one friend finds love, the other friend looks harder for love OR can recognize what love truly is. Whatever the reason is, I HAVE witnessed this.
I also think it is more challenging to be truly, gloriously happy if we suspect our best friends might be lonely. And romance novels are all about that romantic happy ever after.
In the next cyborg series, three best friends – Strive, Grin and Raw – will find their very different females all in the same solar cycle. I can’t wait to tell their stories!

Needing Valor
This not-at-all-dead cyborg needs to be needed.
***
Seeking a change after solar cycles of war, Halleli enters a lottery on her home planet. Her wishes are granted. She wins a home of her own in the middle of nowhere.
The only problem is…that home is haunted.
Objects slide off horizontal surfaces. The floor howls. And the resident ghost, a sexy spirit she has named Chad, roams the space. He sports soulful dark eyes, a deep growly voice, and shiny silver hands big enough to handle a female’s abundant curves.
Halleli wants him, and that is wrong, so very wrong. A relationship between them is impossible. He is dead. And she is…not.
Valor isn’t dead. He isn’t a ghost. And his name isn’t Chad. He’s an E Model cyborg determined to claim his female…once he can convince her he’s alive.
Achieving that feat might require clever words, some heated kisses…and a whole lot of explosives.
***
Needing Valor is a short, light, companion story in the Rebel Cyborgs series and is meant to be read after B Free.
This Cyborg Romance features a permanently damaged yet very much alive E Model warrior, a courageous open-minded humanoid female, and a deadly domicile of horrors.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – December 19th
I’m still working on the first draft of Provoking Odium, the first story in the new cyborg series (releasing in May). I’ll be writing this first draft for a while. (grins) It will take longer than usual due to the holidays. I plan to spend some focused time with the Dear Wonderful Hubby at the tail end of December.
I received the first round of revisions for Seizing Power, the fifth core story in the Rebel Cyborgs series (releasing in February), from my Awesome Editor. She likes the story! Woot! There is work to be done, of course. There always is. But it is on track for its release date.
Have a magical week, my friends. (big hugs) If you’re in a cold part of the world, snuggle under the covers. If you’re in a hot part of the world, enjoy the sun (safely). Read some new-to-you books. Cherish every dang day! I’m so happy and so fortunate to have you in my life!

Seizing Power
This cyborg believes he’s in control.
Power is the self-appointed leader of the cyborg council. Other members might debate situations. He makes the ultimate decisions.
When a threat to the Homeland is revealed, he takes command of a fleet and ventures to the edge of cyborg-controlled space to investigate. He finds a rebellion led by a mysterious upstart he calls Cadet.
The plan Power derives is simple—he’ll quickly quash the uprising and teach its leader a lesson the warrior will never forget.
NO ONE challenges his authority.
Eirene Ours might have been called a cadet by Power but she is NOT his subordinate. She is the arrogant E Model’s genetic match.
For much of her mature lifespan, she has desired the male, yearning for his dark-eyed gaze, craving his sure hands, longing for his respect.
That esteem was never granted. And Eirene Ours can no longer wait to earn it. There’s an external threat to their kind, a danger that might destroy them all.
Having lured Power to her home terrain, she now plans to use everything within her means – her fists, her daggers, her ship-destroying missiles – to pound that truth into her stubborn warrior’s thick metal skull.
The future of every cyborg is at stake. She can’t fail them.
Power will believe her. Or he will die.
***
Seizing Power is an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features an epic battle between two equally strong cyborg leaders, plans that go terribly yet passionately wrong, and a love that will shake the entire universe.

Bergdorf Goodman Window Inspiration
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I were in New York City recently and I found the windows at Bergdorf Goodman so very inspirational. (grins)
I thought they might serve as inspiration for my writing and reading buddies!
This ‘world’ is dominated by birds and insects. Look at the exciting diversity!
This ‘world’ is blue and sparkly and has a hint of space with the planets, the moon, the astrological signs.
Look at this wonderful cat ‘world’! The expressions on their cute little faces are wonderful.
Of course, we can’t have a cat world without a dog world. I like how the monochrome color scheme emphasizes the different shapes and forms of the doggies.
I love how the artist didn’t go for the obvious blue for the fish world. The purples give the impression of great depth.
And finally, we have this swirly psychedelic red and white world with a music theme.

Throwback Thursday – Testing Truth
I think of Testing Truth as my fairytale cyborg romance.
Princess Nancy, the heroine, is royalty. Truth, the cyborg hero, is…well…he causes chaos wherever he goes. There’s a prince (Princess Nancy’s brother) locked in a space tower…I mean a space prison. The royal entourage, Princess Nancy’s family of the heart, is the support system any heroine would love to have.
There are laughs and adventure and I think you’ll have a good time reading this story.
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.

Needing Valor And Seeing Ghosts
In Needing Valor, Halleli, the heroine, believes her new home is haunted.
This doesn’t freak her out too, too much because she has spent the last few solar cycles fighting the Humanoid Alliance. War is bloody and random and noisy. Halleli saw things on the battlefield, horrible, nonsensical things. She doesn’t talk about it much during her story and I don’t share, in detail, the trauma she has endured, but it is there. It is part of her past.
A harmless ghost or two isn’t going to unsettle this heroine. (grins)

Needing Valor And The Management Of Mercury Minor
Power and the Cyborg Council manages activities and beings on the Cyborg Homeland.
On Mercury Minor, the Rebel Cyborgs’ home base, Ghost, Lethe and Cadet/Eirene Ours are that planet’s leaders.
Ghost and Lethe decide who lands on the planet. They manage security and the space around Mercury Minor. They also communicate…minimally…with cyborgs on the Homeland.
Cadet/Eirene Ours is responsible for the rescue missions and for interacting with beings situated on Mercury Minor. She ensures they have domiciles, supplies, medic bays, etc.
She doesn’t do this alone, of course. She has a team on the ground.
One of those team members is Lore. We meet him for the first time in Needing Valor. When Cadet/Eirene Ours is off planet, he is in charge.
We’ll see more of Lore in Seizing Power and, likely, in the future. I expect he will eventually have his own story. (grins) He’s a fascinating cyborg with a unique view of the universe.

Needing Valor And Adhafera Omicron
Much of the action on Needing Valor occurs on Adhafera Omicron, the heroine’s home planet.
Adhafera Omicron is named after Adhafera, the star.
Adhafera means the braid or curl in Arabic. This star is faint yet visible to the naked human eye here on Earth. Its faintness isn’t due to its brightness or size. Adhafera’s luminosity is 85 times that of our sun and it is also much larger (3 times its mass and 6 times its radius). It IS approximately 274 light-years away from us, however.
Adhafera is part of a double star. It isn’t a binary star as its companion star is 174 light-years away from it…which, I think, makes the nod to it perfect in a cyborg romance. (grins)

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – December 12th
I have finally decided which story I’ll write next! Woot! This week, I started writing Provoking Odium, the first cyborg romance in the next grouping of cyborg stories (releasing in May 2022). I’m super excited about this story. It grabbed me by the muse and wouldn’t let go.
Seizing Power, the fifth core story in the Rebel Cyborgs series (releasing in February), remains with my Awesome Editor. I expect to get it back sometime this week. I suspect there will be some DEEP revisions on it. It is such an important story and I want to ensure I do it justice.
Have a great week, my friends. (big hugs) Surround yourself with bright colors and shiny things. Give yourself a treat whether that is a new-to-you book to read, a piece of decadent chocolate or something else that makes you happy. Create a mini getaway in the middle of a day.
And know that you are loved.

B is the last remaining B Model cyborg. All of his brethren, the beings he trained with, fought with, cared deeply for, have perished.
Or so he believes.
When he intercepts a communication mentioning the existence of one of his kind, he has to investigate its source. The message could be a trap set by his enemies. He’ll take that risk if it secures him the companionship he requires to be fully functional.
What he finds is a daring brown-eyed female who activates all his systems. She proudly proclaims she’s a researcher, brandishing that information like a weapon before her. He wants to kiss the sass off her beautiful face, protect her from the dangers around them, claim her forever.
Quinn is on a quest to locate the mechanics of an early-version cyborg. She believes the information captured within that frame will give her valuable insights into the past.
When her mission goes zombie-like beings levels of wrong, she comes face-to-face with a living, breathing B Model. He has big hands, a primitive countenance, and stern hard lips crafted for kissing.
She doesn’t trust him. And she doesn’t have time to indulge her desires.
Their shared enemies are chasing them, would kill to get their precious specimens back. One minor mistake could reduce B and Quinn to a mere line in the databases of history.
