Cruise Ships And Spaceships
The spaceships in my cyborg and alien romances are based on water-navigating ships and navies here on Earth. That is a standard in SciFi Romance. Star Trek, for example, heavily borrows from the navy.
This ‘borrowing’ is one of the many reasons I like to take cruises. They serve as inspiration and references for my stories. I go on ship tours. I talk to the crew. Usually, some of the officers have served in their country’s navy. I learn terminology, hear a gazillion stories and uncover strategies.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I take precautions, of course. The pandemic is still happening. But cruises are great food for my muse.

Provoking Odium
(This book description is still unedited.)
A Beautiful Cyborg
While accompanying his leader on a mission, Odium, an E Model cyborg, hears a distress call over the communication lines. The voice on that message makes his circuits surge with energy and all his systems light up. He has to respond to the mysterious female, would risk his lifespan and the lifespans of everyone on board the ship, to protect her.
A Human Female Others Call Beast
Briella gained her nickname due to not only her flying abilities and her fearlessness but also due to her scarred countenance. Her verbal-only relationship with the sexy cyborg who answers her distress call is a steamy yet short-lived fantasy. His kind is physically perfect and she is…not. He will uncover that truth when…if they survive the attack upon her freighter.
Provoking Odium is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a human female intent on remaining mysterious, a cyborg warrior determined to uncover her identity, and an enemy seeking to destroy them before they have the opportunity to meet.

Actions Vs Words
Briella, aka Beast, the heroine of Provoking Odium, the first story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in June), talks tough. If we listen solely to her words, she seems like an unfeeling, grumpy, materialistic being, someone who doesn’t grant anyone favors or leniency, a being who cares only about herself.
In reality, she’s a complete softie. She would trade her lifespan to save a stranger’s in a heartbeat. She would die before intentionally hurting someone’s feelings. Favors are granted without a word. She’s a friend any being would love to have.
I love her generous, giving heart. Her actions truly speak louder than her words.

Dresses For Princess Nancy
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I walked into Camille La Vie in New York and we spotted some dresses we thought Princess Nancy (from Testing Truth) would love.
They are, of course, pink. (grins)
I LOVE how sparkly this dress is. Princess Nancy would look like starlight while wearing it.
The full skirts on this dress could conceal weapons…which would suit the battle-ready Princess.
Of course, she’d need a tiara for each of these ensembles. (grins)
I love the butterfly tiara in this stock photo! It is delicate and whimsical.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – May 8th
I continue to work on Grin And Bare Him, the second story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in October at the latest).
I’ll be writing the first draft for at least another month and then have two more drafts to complete before submitting the story to my Awesome Editor so you’ll be hearing the same update for a while. (grins)
The tomato seedlings are doing VERY well, so well I had to thin them. (grimaces) That was painful for everyone involved. Steve, the male-eating plant rule of Balazoid Minor (he appeared in North Bound), wouldn’t be happy with me. But it had to be done and it strengthened the remaining seedlings.
I hope you have a fantastic, magical week, my friends. (big hugs) Revel in nature, whether that nature is outside or is sitting on your windowsill. Breath deeply. Lower your shoulders. Uncurl your fingers. You’re awesome and you deserve time to relax, to restore your emotional wells.

My Awesome Mom And Mom-In-Law
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day in North America.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I are fortunate to have both our Moms still with us. (knock on wood)
I sent my Mom yellow roses (her favorites) and chocolate from a florist local to her. She knows the owner, went to school with him, and he always delivers the flowers himself. They have a good chat, which makes my Mom as happy as the roses and chocolate.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby will be bringing his Mom chocolate and cash. The cash will be rapidly redistributed to people and causes Awesome Mom-in-law feels need it more than she does. She has a generous soul…just like her son. (smiles)
I’m lucky to have two such wonderful women in my life and I hope you have wonderful women (including everyone who identifies as a woman) in your life also, whether they are biologically your Mom or Moms of the Heart, mentors you can learn from and love. (big hugs)

Cyborgs And The Arts
When the cyborgs were under Humanoid Alliance control, their lifespans consisted of waging war, restoring their energy levels and very little else. They were manufactured for battle and weren’t allowed to explore anything other than that.
Now that they are free, they have almost unlimited options. And one of those options is to venture into the arts – singing, dancing, painting, sculpting, other creative pursuits.
In Provoking Odium, they will explore a couple of the arts…with often comical results. (grins)

Throwback Thursday – The Cyborg’s Secret Baby
Mother’s Day is on Sunday in North America and I can’t think of a better mother-themed story of mine to feature than The Cyborg’s Secret Baby.
Zebrina, the human heroine in this standalone romance set in the Cyborg World, is the mother of a rapidly maturing cyborg son. She believes her son’s father, the love of her lifespan, Stealth, died in battle.
That belief is blown to bits when her K Model shows up on her doorstep.
The Cyborg’s Secret Baby
A fierce cyborg warrior and his curvy human female share a no-longer-so-little secret.
Stealth, a K Model cyborg, knows his passion for Zebrina, the commander’s human daughter, is forbidden, yet he can’t resist the curvy female. He craves her touch, cherishes her sounds of pleasure, would do anything to keep her safe.
When he’s faced with the choice of protecting his fragile human or living to see the next sunrise, he chooses her, always her, sending Zebrina halfway across the universe to safety. He doesn’t realize their stolen moments had consequences neither of them believed possible.
After hearing her warrior died in battle, Zebrina focuses on the last gift he gave her. Doing what is right for their child is her sole priority. She will put their son’s happiness first, even if that means choosing another male over the love of her life.
The Cyborg’s Secret Baby is a STAND-ALONE story loosely connected to the Cyborg Sizzle series.
It is also a Second Chance Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, often-violent universe.

Happy Star Wars Day
May The Fourth Be With You!
(grins)
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I went to a special screening of Asteroid Hunters, narrated by Daisy Ridley, as a pre-Star Wars Day celebration.
This documentary meshed two of my favorite movie genres – disaster movies and scifi movies. And it featured several female scientists. It was awesome!
Daisy Ridley didn’t appear on screen but her voice is very distinctive. And her narration had a Star Wars feel to it..
On a tangent, since this IS Star Wars day, I thought I’d share this photo of the blaster Carrie Fisher, our dearly departed Space Mom, used in the original Star Wars movie. The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spotted this in a Planet Hollywood years ago.

Odium And Power
At the end of Seizing Power, Power had semi-made peace with many of the cyborgs on Mercury Minor.
Many but not all.
Odium still has an issue with the cyborg council leader. He had pleaded with Power to send a ship to rescue him and his brethren. Power never even answered him.
In Provoking Odium, the first story of the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in June), Odium will confront Power face-to-face and a passionate yet honest conversation will happen.
Whether or not Power wants to participate in it. (grins)

The Adventures Of A Colombian White-Faced Capuchin
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I traveled to Roatán and while we were there, we visited a sloth sanctuary. The sloth sanctuary also hosted Colombian white-faced capuchins.
Most of them were in huge cages. This little guy was an escape artist.
The tour guide told us not to worry about him. When he got hungry, he’d return to a cage.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I laughed our fool heads off because we’d just watched this Colombian white-faced capuchin meet up with one of his caged buddies. The caged buddy had passed him food through the wires.
So no, we don’t think he’ll ever return to a cage. He has the best of both worlds. He’s free AND he doesn’t have to work too hard for food.
