The Cyborgs And Nourishment Bars
The ‘standard’ meal in the cyborg world is the nourishment bar. Locals on planets eat a wide variety of food. The food for travelers is the nourishment bar.
Why?
Because a ‘bar’ is a great shape to store and to carry with beings. And standardizing the shape throughout the universe means it is easy to restock cargo holds of ships.
That doesn’t mean the taste of the bars is standardized. Nourishment bars are available in a wide variety of flavors and textures. If you come from planet X and X berries is a popular food there, you can likely find nourishment bars in X berry flavor.

Grin And Bare Him
This cyborg will be the warrior his female requires.
Cyborgs are designed to fight. That is their primary purpose and 98.2356 percent of the manufactured warriors enjoy battle. Tremendously.
Grin, a K model, is one of the rare exceptions. When he escaped his cruel creators, he set down his sword and allocated his processors to less violent pursuits. He projects he’s left his war-waging planet rotations behind him forever.
Then he meets his beautiful, beguiling female, the one being he’s destined to protect, to claim, to love for all eternity, and his plans for peace are completely decimated.
Mohini needs a ship.
She has a dangerous mission to complete and the first step in that assignment is arranging transport to an enemy-controlled planet. The vessel she has set her sights on is guarded by the sexiest cyborg she’s ever seen.
To gain access to his ship, Mohini is prepared to kiss, caress, seduce the muscular male. The mission is her focus. The pleasure she experiences will merely be a bonus.
A female has to do what a female has to do to save the universe.
Grin And Bare Him is a Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a humanoid female undertaking a dangerous mission, a cyborg intent on keeping her alive, and an enemy with enough firepower to blow up an entire sector.

Grin And Bare Him, The Humanoid Alliance And Rebuilding
I think it is important to talk about how the Humanoid Alliance forces, the big baddies in the cyborg world, haven’t been defeated. Not at all.
They lost the core portion of their forces when the cyborgs mass rebelled. They no longer had ‘machines’ (as they viewed cyborgs) to fight their wars, to expand their empire.
It would be like the US military temporarily running out of soldiers. The officers, the commanders would still remain but there wouldn’t be enough people to fight wars.
The Humanoid Alliance lost the wars they hadn’t yet won. If there were enough locals left to retake planets, those planets are being reclaimed by the original inhabitants.
But the Humanoid Alliance is holding the planets they have completely conquered. They have human forces (but not nearly enough of these ‘fragile’ beings for expansion). They’re building armies of the undead and armies of robots. And they are searching the universe for more ‘weapons.’
The Humanoid Alliance remains and they are a threat to the happiness of all cyborgs everywhere.

Muse Food – Travelers
Many beings in my Cyborg Romances are undergoing huge shifts in their lifespans. Often, they are not only undergoing emotional changes but they are also undergoing changes in physical location. They are relocating. They are escaping from a planet under siege or searching the universe for a place where they belong or leaving their birth planets for some other reason.
Sometimes when I’m looking for inspiration for these stories, I trek to an airport or bus terminal or pier, places where people are constantly arriving and departing.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spotted this monument in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and we had a good chuckle. It is supposed to depict the hardship of immigrants having to leave their families temporarily behind as they search for new homes. But the guy looks so dang eager to leave. (grins) He’s outta there!
This sculpture was situated near the first one. This man isn’t trying to hide his glee. (grins)

Grin And Bare Him – First Scene Of The First Chapter
I love it when I start posting excerpts. (grins) It means release day is fast approaching!
While we wait for the release of Grin And Bare Him, the second core story in the Cyborg Unity series, here is the first scene from the first chapter.
***
Chapter One
Cyborgs were designed for breeding and for war.
Grin could easily defeat a human in battle. He had the fighting skills to accomplish that feat. But he didn’t enjoy killing. It made him…grumpy.
As a result, he didn’t train sufficiently to master the ending of lifespans. He couldn’t vanquish his brethren in mock combat. Their abilities and their love for the skirmishes far surpassed his.
He was admittedly no warrior, and he had no desire to ever become one.
Breeding wasn’t an option for him either. He hadn’t yet met his genetic match, the one being in the universe he was destined to bond with.
That special individual might not exist. Not for him, a cyborg operating out of spec.
He might never enjoy that connection with another being.
Processing that possibility, he focused on a skill he excelled in – designing structures.
He absorbed knowledge from every database he could access; experimented with techniques, styles, and materials; was constantly looking for ways to improve the construction of buildings.
His expertise was greatly needed. The cyborgs had escaped the Humanoid Alliance, their cruel manufacturers, and had claimed several planets as their own.
Domiciles and other spaces had to be erected in vast quantities. And he preferred for those structures to last.
Cyborgs had unlimited natural lifespans. Their buildings should have the same longevities.
They should be fabricated from durable materials.
Grin studied the six panels set before him. The metals had been sourced from planets situated all over the universe.
He was alone in his contemplation but not physically solitary.
Strive, his friend and fellow K-model cyborg, stood beside him. The male stared down at the shadows cast across the floor tiles. “Focus on the shapes.” His voice was soft as he chattered to himself. “Find the calm.”
Around them, warriors perfected their battle skills. Mock gunfire echoed. Bodies thumped against walls. Cyborgs exchanged gibes.
“Find the calm.” His friend’s voice gained an increasingly hard edge. “Find the calm. Find… Fraggin’ hole. Would all of you be blasted quiet?” Strive yelled at their brethren. “Some of us are trying to fabricate art.”
Grin smothered his mirth. The K model was seeking to manage his overly active emotional system by expelling energy creatively.
“Relocate to a different chamber if you want quiet.” North, a visiting D Model, relayed that unwelcomed advice as he passed by them.
The training chamber was the ideal site for Grin to test materials. The space was designed for rough usage.
“Frag all the way off, D Model.” Strive cursed at him.
Truth, another visiting cyborg, laughed.
“Find the fraggin’ calm.” Strive returned to studying the shadows on the floor. “Find it.”
Grin shifted his full attention back to his tasks also. He crouched by one of the panels to examine it closer.
It appeared strong, but he’d seen the strongest of beings crumple under strain.
Moments passed.
“Frag finding calm.” Strive gave up on serenity. “It’s completely lost for me this planet rotation.” He looked at Grin. “Do you have something you want me to blow up? How about one of your panels?”
That was a fast and efficient way to test materials, and it would soothe his friend.
Grin glanced around them. The space remained crowded with warriors.
“If we set off an explosive now, the medic team would fry our processors.” He straightened. “The last time we did that, every cyborg in the chamber had to have their limbs reattached. The medics were fully occupied for three shifts.”
“I lost both of my arms and one of my legs in that detonation.” Strive’s good humor resurfaced. “That was fun.”
“It was…illuminating.” None of those panels had shielded warriors. The exterior of a structure should do that, should keep its inhabitants safe. He had discarded those materials. “We’ll utilize guns for this first test.”
Grin drew two weapons.
Strive did the same. “Can you hit the panel?” His friend lifted his eyebrows. “Its aim is suboptimal.” He mimicked the disapproving tones of their former Humanoid Alliance trainer.
“At least I aim at targets.” Grin returned the teasing. “You press your triggers before you process where the targets are.”
“Aiming is for offspring.” Strive rolled his eyes.
“Aiming is also for mature beings.” Grin laughed.
They were both battle-impaired.
If they hadn’t escaped their manufacturers during their training programs, they would’ve been decommissioned. They would’ve been killed in the most painful way possible, stripped for parts while still alive.
And they would never have reached the Homeland. They would never have processed freedom.
Grin braced his booted feet apart. He was never leaving the cyborg-controlled sector, would never risk that fate again.
There was no reason to do that. He had several human lifespans’ worth of structures to construct on the planets situated within that space.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – October 23rd
I’m plodding away at the first draft of Raw Desires, the third core story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in February). First drafts are challenging but they are also fun. I never know what will happen next.
Have a great week, my friends. (big hugs) Read a story from a new-to-you writer. Tell someone you love their hair. Ask a dog “Who is a good doggy?” And then tell them “You are.” (smiles) Put some positive energy into this wonderful universe.

Taking The Plants Inside Our Home
In my corner of the universe, once we’ve ventured past the first frost, gardening outside the house becomes more and more challenging. Nothing much is growing above the planet’s surface when it is covered with snow. (grins)
I have the indoor plants like the snake plants (which are AWESOME at cleaning the air and are super easy to care for and to multiply).
But this year, thanks to the Dear Wonderful Hubby, I also have a growing station in the basement. He set up the lights and the shelves. I’ve harvested a gazillion veggie seeds. We’ve collected yogurt containers to use as pots. Dirt was bought in vast quantities when the garden centers were clearing products out.
Over the winter, I will be growing spinach, radishes, onions and cilantro. In the spring, I’ll start the tomatoes, bell peppers, marigolds, zinnias, green beans and peas.
I LOVE being surrounded by plants. All that nature makes me happy. (smiles)

Grin And Bare Him And Never Seeing Active Battle
We first meet Grin, the hero of Grin And Bare Him (releasing in November) in Breathing Vapor, the second story in the cyborg world.
He escapes with Vapor and other cyborgs from their manufacturing facility. The Humanoid Alliance had not yet assigned them to active duty. They had never been placed on the battlefield.
These cyborgs were still forced to do and see horrific things. They killed beings in their training battles. They witnessed their brethren being decommissioned. They fought their way out of the manufacturing facility when they escaped from the Humanoid Alliance.
Grin and his brethren endured dark, harsh lifespans. I’m extremely happy they will finally experience love and joy.

Grin And Bare Him And When Minor Characters Aren’t So Minor
One of the many things I LOVE about being a gazillion stories into the cyborg world is…
Many of the minor characters, the beings who show up briefly in stories, are main characters (heroes/heroines) of previous stories. I know them. And even better, YOU know them.
In Grin And Bare Him, for example, Truth laughs as he walks by Grin and Strive. That’s the full extent of his interaction – a laugh.
A new-to-the-world reader might only know a random male finds the situation amusing.
YOU know who Truth is and why he finds the situation especially amusing. (He thrives on chaos. – grins)
I LOVE this.

The Lifespan Of A Washing Machine And Dryer
I love to track the life cycles of vehicles and machines. Where things I use have come from and where things I use will go fascinates me.
Recently, for example, the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I replaced our washer and dryer. We had bought them used for very little money when we first bought the house and we expected them to last a couple years. They lasted for decades with merely minor repairs.
Then the washing machine started leaking. The parts to repair it would have cost more than a new-to-us replacement machine and we suspected other parts of the machine would soon fall apart.
We bought four-year-old new-to-us replacement machines (both the washer and the dryer) for much less than we would have paid for ONE brand new machine. The newer machines are MUCH lighter. They also use less water and less electricity to operate.
We gave our not-working washer and dryer to the neighborhood scrap metal person. The machines will be stripped for functional parts and the rest of it will be melted down. Nothing will be wasted. Nothing will go to the landfill.
I like that. Our old washer and dryer won’t truly ‘die.’ They will have new lifespans in other machines.

Muse Food – Old Trucks And Old Spaceships
I watch the traffic in our neighborhood. There are quite a few new vehicles. But there are quite a few older vehicles also.
They are usually not as old as this truck the Dear Wonderful Hubby spotted on Alcatraz. (grins)
But they ARE older.
And that reminds me that not all spaceships in my stories will be in immaculate condition. They will usually be in great condition if cyborgs are maintaining them. But on lower credit, more rustic planets, there will likely be a few ‘wrecks’ flying around.

Grin And Bare Him
This cyborg will be the warrior his female requires.
Cyborgs are designed to fight. That is their primary purpose and 98.2356 percent of the manufactured warriors enjoy battle. Tremendously.
Grin, a K model, is one of the rare exceptions. When he escaped his cruel creators, he set down his sword and allocated his processors to less violent pursuits. He projects he’s left his war-waging planet rotations behind him forever.
Then he meets his beautiful, beguiling female, the one being he’s destined to protect, to claim, to love for all eternity, and his plans for peace are completely decimated.
Mohini needs a ship.
She has a dangerous mission to complete and the first step in that assignment is arranging transport to an enemy-controlled planet. The vessel she has set her sights on is guarded by the sexiest cyborg she’s ever seen.
To gain access to his ship, Mohini is prepared to kiss, caress, seduce the muscular male. The mission is her focus. The pleasure she experiences will merely be a bonus.
A female has to do what a female has to do to save the universe.
Grin And Bare Him is a Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a humanoid female undertaking a dangerous mission, a cyborg intent on keeping her alive, and an enemy with enough firepower to blow up an entire sector.
