Throwback Thursday – Warlord’s Bounty
Warlord’s Bounty was originally the first story in the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series. It inspired the entire series.
Of the three Warlord brothers, Khan is the most battle-happy. He is skilled at fighting and he loves the physical nature and the challenge of it.
Zeta is the most action-loving bounty hunter in her group. She is daring and brave and a skilled survivor.
When these two warriors meet, it is magical!
Warlord’s Bounty
Wanted: One Barbarian Warrior.
The bigger the bounty, the more dangerous the target.
Khan, a Chamele Warlord, has a huge bounty on his head. His enemy wants him captured and is offering any being in the universe an outrageous number of credits to accomplish that.
Khan wants to be captured, but only if the being apprehending him is a tiny, brown-eyed female with wickedly sharp daggers and an even sharper tongue. His passion for the feisty human can’t be inhibited by restraints. He’ll allow her to subdue him…in a variety of enticing ways.
When she finally collects her credits, he’ll collect his revenge, killing his enemy and claiming his little bounty hunter forever.
Zeta doesn’t do forever. After a lifespan of chasing dangerous beings across galaxies, apprehending and trading them for credits, she doesn’t get involved emotionally…with anyone.
Khan might be fierce and sexy and the most dominant male she has ever encountered, but the barbarian is also her target, and once she sates herself with his body, she’ll betray him.
That’s her job.

Warlord’s Bounty is based on a much shorter story sharing the same title.
It is a STANDALONE Alien Barbarian SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes violent universe.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord Sky
Warlord Sky, the first story in the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series, is a story of two very injured beings.
Qulpa’s injuries are obvious. His fingers were severed in a crash. And he’s worried he’ll never be able to fly again.
Nayan’s injuries are hidden. They are both emotional AND physical and they have been with her for a very long time.
Warlord Sky
No one grounds a barbarian warrior.
Qulpa, a Chamele warrior, lost everyone he loved in the brutal Succession Wars. Flying is the only thing that brings him joy. Serving as his team’s pilot is the sole duty he has left. Then a horrific crash leaves him injured and unable to fly.
The one being who can help him is also his gerel, the female destined to be his. She insists she doesn’t feel their connection. Qulpa is certain his beautiful mate is lying and nothing will stop him from finding out why.
Nayan knows the injured barbarian is her warrior, her one chance at a forever bond. His dominance makes her feel safe. His gentle touch inflames her passion. His kisses scorch her very soul. The tall muscular male tempts her as no one else has.
But she has a deadly secret. If it’s exposed, her injured male will lose more than his ability to fly. Both of them will die. She can’t take that risk, not for him, not for them, not for a lifespan filled with love.

Throwback Thursday – Dark Cure
Dark Cure is the final story in the Refuge (Dark Thoughts) series. I think of it as a bridge story to the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series.
Because the hero is a Chamele warrior. Oghul has claws and has a barbarian feel to him. And he is destined to have one genetic match.
His match is Gisella, the Refuge’s human medic. Gisella doesn’t believe in forever. She knows, very well, that everything ends so she lives in the moment.
Oghul is determined to change her view. (grins)
A warrior seeking forever faces a medic living in the moment.
Gisella, the Refuge’s medic, is dedicated to her role. She doesn’t have the space in her lifespan for love, a mate, or children. Healing is her entire focus.
But she’s also a female in her prime. She has needs, wants, cravings…especially for a scarred, long-haired barbarian warrior temporarily residing in the settlement. One fierce, soul-blasting, passion-filled encounter is all she is willing to give him before she returns to her duties.
Oghul, a Chamele Warlord’s Second-In-Command, has waited his entire lifespan to find his gerel, the being fated to be his. He’s thrilled to discover she wants him as savagely as he yearns for her.
His little human medic appeals to his primitive possessive side. Greatly. He wants to stamp his ownership all over her bountiful curves, take her back to his home planet, claim his fiery female permanently.
When Carinae E’s solitary sun rises, two determined beings with very different desires find their lifespans entwined. Their battle for emotional supremacy will span systems and alter destinies.
The universe will never be the same.
Dark Cure is a STANDALONE SciFi Romance set in a gritty, dark world.

Throwback Thursday – Dark Fire
Dark Fire combines many of my favorite types of stories.
It has a dragon-like hero. It is an alien romance. The hero is a warrior. The heroine is a thief. There is plenty of action and heated encounters and a dash of humor.
It is a fun, thrilling story and I think you’ll really enjoy it!
Dark Fire
What the Beast wants, the Beast gets.
Dare’s savage nature has made him an outcast among his kind. The silver-scaled Dracheon warrior can’t control his inner beast. It’s too strong. When his primitive instincts told him his destined mate was on Carinae E, he had no choice. He had to travel to the outlaw planet. There, he hoped to meet a female powerful enough to survive his Drache.
He finds Faylee, a delicate little human.
Faylee is the best thief on the planet. Everyone she encounters mistakes her for a young boy…except for a tall, shiny warrior from off-planet. When she gazes into Dare’s flame-filled eyes, he makes her feel, for the first time, like a desirable female. The fire-breathing male has her yearning for hot kisses, fierce embraces, and a future filled with love. She doesn’t realize mating with him might be the last thing she ever does.
Dare’s beast isn’t the only danger on the planet. An enemy from the past has returned and he’s determined to stop Dare and Faylee…permanently. They’ll need luck and the assistance of every warrior in the Refuge to stay alive.

Throwback Thursday – Dark Strength
I absolutely LOVE Balvan.
The HUGE green giant of a gatekeeper at the Refuge is complicated…as many beings are. He loves to crush the skulls of his enemies under his big boot heels. But he also loves to rescue and care for small wounded creatures. He is so very gentle with them.
As he is gentle with Elyce, his wounded yet small human female. They are wonderful together!
Dark Strength
The Bigger They Are, The Harder They Fall.
Balvan, the Refuge’s Gatekeeper, is huge, green, and has a reputation for crushing skulls. He’s a modified humanoid, genetically designed to be the ultimate warrior. One of a kind and considered monstrous by many, he never expects to find his mate, the one female meant for him.
Elyce, snatched from her home half a solar cycle ago, has finally escaped her brutal captors. She arrives at the Refuge barely alive. Only a blood transfusion from the largest male she has ever seen will save her life. But it will also bind her to him forever. Staring up, up, up at him, she wonders why she wants to be free. His gentle touch revives yearnings she thought dead. His lips set her skin ablaze. His massive muscles make her feel safe.
That feeling could be an illusion. Elyce’s captors want their slave back and they won’t stop until they have her. To give his mate her freedom, Balvan might be forced to give up everything he has – his role as the Gatekeeper, Elyce’s love, and his life.

Throwback Thursday – Dark Flight
I receive MANY requests for a follow up story to Dark Flight. These requests all mention three characters who haven’t yet received their own stories. (grins) If you’ve read Dark Flight and the rest of the series, you know the characters I’m referring to.
I DO plan to write their stories. I think I’ll write the Next Gen Cyborgs first and then another Modified Humanoid/Refuge-set set of stories.
Anyhoo… Orol, the hero of Dark Flight, is a winged hero. He looks like an angel. But he certainly doesn’t act like one. (laughs)
Which is great because Rhea, the heroine, needs a warrior who can walk on the dark side of life.
Orol is certainly that type of being!
Dark Flight
His mission. His challenge. His forever.
Orol, the Refuge’s second-in-command, has been given what he believes is a simple mission—escort two human females to the settlement. The winged warrior arrives at the meeting site to find one of the females missing and the other aiming a gun at his head. To rescue the first, he must capture the second. Once he has Rhea in his talons, however, he realizes he never wants to let her go.
Her enemy. Her captor. Her everything.
Rhea doesn’t trust anyone. She certainly doesn’t follow commands issued by a gorgeous flying male with glittering eyes, a beautiful face, and a seductive touch. Orol is dominant, edged with darkness, and determined to find her sister. Rhea will do anything to prevent that, even if it means playing sensual games of submission with her powerful enemy, seducing him into forgetting everything except her.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – January 15th
This week, I happily started, in earnest, writing the first draft of Strive For Forever, the fourth story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing likely in June).
I LOVE this story thus far. I love Strive. Having a creative soul, he is definitely a different type of cyborg hero. But he still has the cyborg characteristics. He was trained to be a warrior, for example. He CAN fight. And he CAN protect his heroine if that is necessary (whispers – It WILL be necessary).
And his heroine? She is SO different from any other heroine I’ve written. This story is fun, fun, fun. (grins)
Have a wonderful week, my friends. Treat yourself to some warmth. That might be a hot beverage or a fuzzy pair of socks or a steamy romance novel. And offer warmth to your heart, your soul also. (big hugs) You’re doing AMAZINGLY, especially considering everything that is going on around us. I’m proud of you and you should be proud of yourself also!

Grin And Bare Him
This cyborg will be the warrior his female requires.
Cyborgs are manufactured to fight.
Almost all of the half organic, half mechanical warriors enjoy battle. Tremendously.
Grin, a K model, is one of the rare exceptions. When he escaped his cruel creators, he set down his weapons 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, claim, 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, and 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 Fake-Mate 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 who has no idea what they will soon unleash.

Leaves, Eggshells And Other Riches
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I have lived in our current house for decades. We hadn’t really used our back yard until recently but I knew we’d eventually put a vegetable garden there.
Did I prepare for that future?
Well…no.
(sheepish grin)
Instead of spreading leaves over a section of it and eventually creating awesome soil with that leaf mulch (black gold as many gardeners call it), we bagged the leaves and sent it to the city to compost.
Instead of crumbling dried eggshells over the soil, adding that valuable natural fertilizer, we, again, sent the eggshells to the city to be composted.
These two easy steps would have completely transformed our back yard. It would have cost us nothing and it would have taken mere minutes to do.
Anyhoo… we can’t live life backwards. I’m sharing this because you might be ‘throwing away’ the same riches, instead of burying them (literally – grins) in your back yard.
If you are fortunate to have soil (and a yard), consider taking care of it. That will pay off (in tomatoes) in the future!

The Next Heroine
The next story in the Cyborg Unity series is Raw Desires, releasing in February.
We know who the hero is.
In Grin And Bare Him, Raw arrives on Mercury Minor with his buddies Grin and Strive. He is prepared to claim his mysterious genetic match.
But we’ve also ‘met’ his female, his genetic match. She is the explosion-loving female Mohini was temporarily locked up with. (grins)
Raw’s claiming won’t be easy. That’s for certain!

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – January 8th
This past week, I experimented a bit with Strive For Forever, the fourth story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in June). I really like one of the opening scenes. It begins the story in an interesting place.
I’ll start writing the first draft in earnestness this week. There will be some starts and stops as there usually are when I begin a story. I write linearly but not in a constant flow of words. The story often comes to me in chunks.
Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Snuggle under the covers when you can. Dream about space travel and meeting new (alien or cyborg) friends. (smiles) Send good thoughts into the universe. They will come back to you!
