Strive’s Affliction As Seen By Others
In Grin And Bare Him, Grin talks about how Strive lost control of his emotional system and attacked five Palavian warriors.
That IS how that situation could have been perceived, when seen by other beings.
But it isn’t truly what happened.
Strive’s visual system, auditory system, and monitoring systems failed. He surged forward, hoping to reactivate them. And he found himself in the middle of the group of the Palavian warriors (who then proceeded to hack his arms off).
Strive wasn’t attacking anyone. He didn’t correct Grin’s misconceptions, however, because the truth is far more mortifying.

Strive For Forever
This cyborg seeks to vanquish an ancient entity and save his curvy human female.
Euryale made a terrible mistake. She opened a container she shouldn’t have touched and released one of the oldest lifeforms in existence. That all-powerful entity is now utilizing her as its host body and is slowly draining her energy.
Soon, she’ll die.
Euryale has accepted this fate and is determined to use her remaining moments in the universe to save as many lives as she can.
Her plans do NOT include a smoldering-hot, poetry-wielding cyborg willing to decimate entire planets to save her.
While under the control of the Humanoid Alliance, Strive, a K Model cyborg, disobeyed direct orders and refused to kill on their behalf. If he hadn’t escaped their cruel clutches, his defiance would have led to his death.
The male knowingly risked that fate to save the lifespans of complete strangers.
There is nothing he wouldn’t do to protect Euryale. The curvy human female is his genetic match, the one being he is destined to defend.
And she is in danger.
Strive would break every vow, cross every boundary, risk absolutely everything to keep her from harm.
Including battle a deity no one has ever defeated.
***
Strive For Forever is Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features an inspired cyborg, a joke-cracking scientist, and an all-powerful deity with plans of his own.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord’s Return
Warlord’s Return officially resides in the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series but it could have easily also been placed in the Refuge (Dark Thoughts) series.
Because all of the action is set in or near the Refuge. Kralj, Dita and their warriors also make appearances in the story.
It is a celebration of the two series and I LOVE that.
Warlord’s Return
Ariq is a barbarian warrior seeking a war.
He locates that battle when he meets Xareni.
* * *
Ariq is one of Chamele’s top warriors. A genetic predisposition to fighting, paired with intensive training and experience, has honed the scarred male into an effective killing machine. He loves war, can’t live without combat.
The Succession Wars, however, have finally ended and the Chamele sector is now at peace. Seeking excitement and purpose, the barbarian warrior accompanies his Second to the Refuge, an outlaw settlement on Carinae E. He hopes to locate the battle he’s been craving there.
Ariq finds that conflict and more when he meets his fated mate.
Xareni owes the Ruler of the Refuge a favor. That’s the only reason she has returned to the settlement. She doesn’t like crowds or structures or a certain barbarian warrior who insists on following her everywhere. It doesn’t matter that there’s a connection between them, that he makes her burn with desire, that he looks at her with heat in his dark eyes.
She’s a monster and monsters don’t need anyone.
* * *
Warlord’s Return is a STANDALONE Alien Barbarian SciFi Romance featuring a determined barbarian warrior, an equally resolute human female, and an eyeball-eating mini dragon.

Strive For Forever And Enemies-To-Lovers
I was talking with the Dear Wonderful Hubby, telling him how I often write enemies-to-lovers romances but Strive For Forever wasn’t one of those stories.
Euryale holds no animosity toward Strive. And Strive is determined to claim Euryale as his female. Forever.
But then, the Dear Wonderful Hubby pointed out, “What about (X character)? Is that enemies-to-lovers?”
And friends, it kind of IS. It isn’t an enemies-to-lovers romance. But it is an animosity to admiration or, at least, tolerance type of situation.

Muse Food – Black Dragonflies And Expectations
When the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I were trekking around Japan, we spotted quite a few predominantly black dragonflies and butterflies.
At first, we didn’t know what they were.
Because, here in North America, there aren’t many predominantly black dragonflies and butterflies. It isn’t a color we tend to associate with those lifeforms.
But in Japan, they’re common.
We have expectations about quite a few things. School buses are yellow, for example. Spring leaves are green, as another example.
One of the things that makes a place or a planet ‘alien’ is twisting those expectations. The trees on an alien planet might have purple leaves. Or the transport for the kiddies might be bright pink.
This is an easy way to tell readers, “Hey, this place is different!”

Strive For Forever – First Scene Of The First Chapter
The countdown to Strive For Forever’s release day has started! Woot!
I will be sharing the first chapter while we wait.
Today, I’m sharing the very first scene.
***
Chapter One
The universe was a violent place. There was death and destruction everywhere.
But there were also pockets of stillness, of serenity, of beauty—if a being looked for them.
Rare moments of tranquility could be found in the curve of the one remaining leaf hanging from a soon-to-be fallen tree, in the glorious hues of the last sunset some of Strive’s cyborg brethren would ever view, in a drop of blood on a bedraggled blue flower growing in a Humanoid Alliance training ring.
Those exquisite instances aided Strive in managing his malfunctioning emotional system. They helped him find the calm he required to endure the ugliness.
They had kept him alive during his enslavement by his cruel manufacturer, had fueled his willingness to escape, and, now that he was free, they inspired his works of art.
His fingers twitched. The urge to create, at the moment, was strong.
Praecipua Minor, the wild, lush planet his friend Grin, and Grin’s female, had claimed for her kind—the Praecipuans, almost overwhelmed him with visual delights.
The tour of the not-yet-completed settlement was led by Grin. Strive’s friend waved his hands at camouflaged rooftops and missile-proof walls. He chattered about the materials used and the unique design features. And he beamed while he was doing all that.
The male was proud of his fabrications.
And Grin’s female was proud of her male. Her face glowed.
Strive was happy for his friend. He valued Grin’s skills.
But the nature flourishing all around them impressed him more than the structures being constructed.
The settlement was surrounded by tall, heavily branched, broad-leafed trees. More vegetation grew at the bases of the trunks. A river flowed near the space. The water’s surface reflected the filtered sunlight. The liquid sparkled and burbled.
A large winged creature squawked as it flew over their heads, and Strive’s gaze shifted upward.
The creature’s feathers were an assortment of bright colors – red, yellow, blue, green, and white. Its tail was magnificent and regal and impractically long.
“You’ve installed perimeter alarms.” All Strive’s friend Raw was interested in was battle-and-defense tactics.
Raw’s female’s fingers were linked with her warrior’s.
“We tried to conceal those alarms.” Grin’s female frowned.
The tiny devices were hidden between the ridges on the trees’ bark.
“He’s a cyborg.” Raw’s female rolled her eyes. “He has superior cyborg vision.” Her tone was teasing. “I didn’t see it with my inferior human vision.”
“He’s also stationary.” Grin gripped one of his female’s hands. “And he was looking for them.”
“I’m always looking for them.” Raw lifted his chin. “I’m one of the best warriors in the universe.”
“Arrogance gets warriors killed.” Strive turned his back on the couples.
His friends were lucky bags of bolts. There was one, sometimes two beings a cyborg was genetically compatible with, and they had both found their matches.
He had…no one.
And he might never have anyone. Some cyborgs would never locate their beings.
The sorrow and envy Strive was experiencing wreaked havoc on his mechanicals. His auditory system, always the first to falter, flickered. The sounds around him muted and then returned to full volume.
His visual system, if he didn’t manage his emotions, would be the next part of him impacted. His world would turn dark and silent.
Reaching that state had almost gotten him killed in the past. It would occur during the Humanoid Alliance training bouts. He hated fighting. His loathing of battle would make his emotional system malfunction. That would down his auditories and his visuals.
Strive would be standing in the ring, unable to see or hear, facing an opponent who sought to end his lifespan. If it hadn’t been for Raw’s assistance, he would’ve died in that first solar cycle.
He was determined not to progress to that point now.
Seeking to manage his turbulent emotions, he crouched by a corner post of a structure and focused on the vegetation sprouting through the cracks in the simulated stone.
The plant was unfurling its first set of fragile, bluish-green leaves. That image would be perfect for a cyborg and his genetic match with their newly manufactured offspring. He could fabricate a panel decorated with various vegetation and creature offspring. The material would be a warm hue, a gold-colored metal. He’d outline the images with perfectly-placed projectiles.
“We’ve lost him again.” Grin’s voice lilted with amusement.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – June 25th
I didn’t start writing Intrepid Encounter, the fifth core story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in November), this week because I received final edits on Strive For Forever (releasing in July)! Woot!
Strive’s story has now been finalized and loaded at booksellers. We are good to go. (grins)
This week, I’ll be sharing the first scene from Strive For Forever. And I am starting to write Intrepid Encounter.
Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Smell the roses if you can. (The roses in my garden are starting to bloom.) Watch the clouds as they move across the sky. Wiggle your toes in the grass if that’s possible and safe for you.

Pre-Order Blurbs
I’ve listed Intrepid Encounter, the fifth core story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in November), at booksellers.
The blurb, like all my early pre-order blurbs, is VERY rough. I’m not yet happy with it and it hasn’t been edited at all. (I can feel my editor wincing. – sheepish grin)
But it gives you a flavor for the story, that it features Intrepid and the Valkyrie and is very much an enemies-to-lovers romance.
They DO battle, thinking those clashes will be to the death and blood IS spilled. (Thankfully, cyborgs repair quickly.)
Intrepid and his Valkyrie give me Vengeance and Astrid vibes.

Throwback Thursday – Choosing Chuckles
If you’re looking for a grumpy sunshine cyborg romance, my choice out of my published stories would be Choosing Chuckles.
Chuckles, a wounded warrior, is the grumpiest cyborg I’ve ever written. He has a good reason for that grumpiness. He is constantly in pain. And no medics and none of his nanocybotics can repair him.
Chuckles secretly has a kind heart, however. He quietly ensures everyone around him is taken care of.
And he falls HARD for his human female. Bettina had a tough lifespan but that hasn’t dimmed her sunshine attitude. She also secretly cares for the beings around her.
One of those beings will soon be a grumpy cyborg well deserving of love and happiness.
Choosing Chuckles
A Cynical Cyborg Meets A Bad, Bad Female.
Chuckles hates all humans. In the past, humans betrayed him. That treachery caused permanent damage to his muscular form, resulting in a lifespan of pain.
When the primitive D Model cyborg answers a distress call sent by a pink-and-blue haired, sparkly human female, he knows it’s a trap. He still has to respond to her fake cry for help. She belongs to him, is the one being genetically fabricated for him. But he plans to be her captor, not her captive.
Bettina, aka Bait, works with a team of females, snaring sexual predators in space, seizing their ships and transporting them to primitive planets. As soon as she speaks with Chuckles, she knows he’s not like the others. He has honor, is a being worthy of respect, of caring.
But she can’t let him go. She has to trap him. His dominance thrills her. His deep voice evokes desires she’d never experienced in the past. She’ll risk it all, breaking every rule for one wild encounter with the male she calls Sir.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I are eating more and more out of the backyard garden. We have green onion tops, radishes, spinach, lettuce, cilantro and other herbs.
We jokingly call it backyard to table, a twist on the farm to table marketing campaign.
And it is SO satisfying. We grew this food! (beams)

Strive For Forever
(This description is still VERY rough.)
This cyborg seeks to vanquish an ancient entity and save his curvy human female.
Euryale made a terrible mistake. She opened a container she shouldn’t have touched and released one of the oldest lifeforms in existence. That all-powerful entity is now utilizing her as its host and is slowly draining her energy.
Soon, she’ll die.
Euryale has accepted this fate and is determined to use her remaining moments in the universe to save as many lives as she can.
Her plans do NOT include a smoldering hot, poetry-wielding cyborg willing to decimate entire planets to save her.
While under the control of the Humanoid Alliance, Strive, a K Model cyborg, disobeyed direct orders and refused to kill on their behalf. If he hadn’t escaped their cruel clutches, his defiance would have led to his death.
The male knowingly risked that fate to save the lifespans of complete strangers.
There is nothing he wouldn’t do to protect Euryale. The curvy human female is his genetic match, the one being he is destined to defend.
And she is in danger.
Strive would break every vow, cross every boundary, risk absolutely everything to keep her from harm.
Including battle a deity no one has ever defeated.
Strive For Forever is Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
