Everyone Is A Little Bit Damaged

By Cynthia Sax on March 29, 2022

Some buddies have asked me why so many of the beings in the cyborg series have tragic pasts and unhealed trauma.

In Seizing Power, Lethe, Eirene Ours’ mom, shares why this is true for the cyborgs.

***

“They’re all damaged, Daughter.” Her mom gently smiled at her. “The Humanoid Alliance tortured them in every way a being could be tortured. For hundreds, thousands of human lifespans. Your warrior didn’t escape that fate.”

***

But this doesn’t merely apply to the cyborgs. The Humanoid Alliance have been waging a universe-wide war. Humans and humanoids have endured battle, hardship, death. That changes beings.

As the pandemic has changed us here on Earth.

The beings in the cyborg world need time and love and acceptance to help them heal. We’ll need that also.

Be kind to yourself. (big hugs) You’re facing (or have faced) epic challenges and you’re doing awesomely!

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 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 be 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.

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.

Haus Of Gaga – The Meat Dress

By Cynthia Sax on March 28, 2022

No visit to the Haus of Gaga: Las Vegas exhibition (found in the Park MGM Casino in Vegas) is complete without a viewing of Lady Gaga’s infamous Meat Dress (and shoes and hat), the Franc Fernandez ensemble she wore to 2010 Video Music Awards.

This dress has since been cured into meat jerky and painted red because, of course, preserved meat is normally brown.

The Meat Dress

The Meat Hat

The Meat Boots

I could definitely envision a bada$$ (And bad. Period.) futuristic female warrior wearing the remnants of her kills.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – March 27th

By Cynthia Sax on March 27, 2022

I’m finishing the second draft of Provoking Odium, the first standalone cyborg romance in the new Cyborg Unity series (releasing in June). I love this story. I think you’ll love it also.

This week, I’m completing a fast third draft. I’ll definitely have book brain so my blog posts might be a bit unconventional. (grins) And I will likely be slow with returning messages. I like to keep the entire story in my head during second and third drafts and that doesn’t leave room for much else. (laughs)

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Enjoy these last days of March 2022. Gaze at a tree and imagine where its roots are traveling. Listen to the birds chirp. Eat a fresh berry or fruit or some other treat. Embrace this awesome world of ours!

The Long View

By Cynthia Sax on March 26, 2022

One of the (many) things I love about cyborgs is…they and their genetic matches can possibly live forever. And because they have the potential to live forever, they take a long view on pretty much everything, including relationships.

Yes, they are normally eager to breed with their genetic matches. Their nanocybotics are relayed during breeding to their fragile humans and humanoids, protecting those beings and granting them the potential to live forever also. Plus the desire they have for their matches is powerful.

But they can progress as slowly in these relationships as their genetic matches require emotionally. They can gradually build trust. They can ‘save’ activities for the future.

Cyborgs also take the long view in many other areas. It took Ghost and Lethe many solar cycles to clean up Mercury Minor, for example, after the planet had been ravaged by the Humanoid Alliance. When structures were built and systems were put in place, they were done so with the processing they’d be on the planet forever.

Living forever changes a being’s private goals also. Many humans (including myself) think about how we want to make our mark on the universe, on the legacy we’ll leave when we’re no longer here.

Cyborgs don’t plan to go anywhere. They don’t need to leave a legacy. They ARE a legacy.

It is an interesting way to look at life.

For The Record

By Cynthia Sax on March 25, 2022

As discussions about Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton world are happening all around us, I would like to put it on record that the cyborg world is a diverse world.

Beings in the cyborg world are as unique as the beings on Earth are and perhaps even more so (because they’re futuristic and live off Earth). The humanoids, and other non-human species, are as varied as the most creative being could ever imagine. All varieties of humans are present in this world.

Do they all like each other? No. Do they all accept each other? Again, no. (As illustrated by the Humanoid Alliance.) But the diversity of beings exists. YOU exist in this world. (big hugs)

Throwback Thursday – Ghost Of A Machine

By Cynthia Sax on March 24, 2022

I have a weakness for broken romance heroes and Ghost, the hero of Ghost Of A Machine, is the most damaged hero I’ve ever had the opportunity to write. When we first meet him, the huge C Model has completely disconnected his human side from his machine side. He doesn’t speak, barely understands communications. He is in a bad, bad way.

Only Lethe, his genetic match, his little human female, can reach him. She is the sole reason he now fights for survival. He will do anything for her.

Fragile. Stubborn. His.

Ghost, a C Model cyborg, has disconnected his machine from his human side. Severely damaged, he knows two things—the curvy human female on his ship belongs to him and he must keep her safe. He’ll stop at nothing to protect her, claim her, make her his.

Primitive. Damaged. Hers.

Lethe has seen the savage side of beings. The courageous Rebel captain has never met a male like Ghost. Overpoweringly dominant, he appeals to her on a primal level, filling her mind with thoughts of sweet surrender, hard kisses, and body-heating encounters against the warship’s walls.

They are two broken beings, one determined to protect, the other intent on flying into danger. Can love heal them both before they face their common enemy?

Ghost Of A Machine is Book 9 in the Cyborg Sizzle series and is a STAND-ALONE story.
It is also a BBW Cyborg SciFi Romance.

There Is More Good In The World

By Cynthia Sax on March 23, 2022

59.23 million people died on this wonderful planet in 2020 ( https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/number-of-deaths-per-year ). This doesn’t come as much of a surprise to me as I tend to watch the news. The focus of the news is on deaths, usually unusual deaths. Loss seems to be everywhere, according to that programming.

139.88 million people were born on Earth, however ( https://knoema.com/atlas/topics/Demographics/Fertility/Number-of-births ). That’s well over TWICE the number of deaths. Babies are being born all around us. Yet I can’t recall the last time the news focused on the beginning of a human life.

I remember that when I question the worth of humanity. There is more land devoted to growing things than waging war. There are more people giving to others than taking from folks. There is more sharing of truths than telling of lies. There is more good than bad.

We should be aware of the bad in the world. If it is at all possible, we should try to make things better.

But we should also look for the good. It is everywhere.

Appearances Can Be Deceiving

By Cynthia Sax on March 22, 2022

In my stories, actually… in most romances, appearances are usually deceiving.

The cyborg warriors, for example, often wear a cold, blank mask when they’re with people they don’t know or trust. They have perfected this act so well; many humans in their universe think they’re machines.

At their first meeting.

Once they’ve interacted genuinely with the cyborgs, they realize these warriors simmer with fierce emotion. Cyborgs hate their enemies with an all-consuming passion. And they love their genetic matches as fervently.

The human heroine in the story I’m currently working on (Provoking Odium, releasing in June) has a false façade also. She looks and acts tough, tells everyone she doesn’t give a flying f*ck about them. But stars, that’s such a lie. She cares. Perhaps too much. And she might be the most emotionally fragile character I’ve ever written.

I can’t wait for you to meet her! (big hugs)
