Why You Might Wish To Subscribe To My Newsletter
A reading buddy asked me if she could pre-order Over Torque, the December FREE short story.
That’s not possible.
This story will only be available through BookFunnel and will be listed there the day it is ready to be downloaded.
Amazon really doesn’t like FREE books. I can list stories there at 99 cents and then HOPE Amazon will price match to free but that is becoming harder and harder to do. The last time I offered a free short story, I sent them a message every dang day and they didn’t price match to FREE for three months.
I will be announcing in my newsletter when Over Torque is ready to be read.

I send a newsletter once a month. It contains VERY bad jokes. On release months, I share insider information about stories. On non-release months, I share an update on past couples (and more). These snippets are only available to newsletter subscribers.

Provoking Odium
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 their ship to protect her.
A Human Female Others Call Beast
Briella gained her nickname due to her flying abilities, her fearlessness, and 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 both before they have the opportunity to meet.

Muse Food – Making The Turn
I can envision a spaceship chase along this river’s path. When they make this turn, the tips of their vessels skim against the rock, leaving grooves, setting off sparks.
Maybe the enemy doesn’t slow and they crash into the wall of stone. The debris floats down the river to be picked up by metal salvagers.
The locals watch and shake their heads. “Humans,” they mutter. “Always in a rush.”

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – September 11th
I’m putting the finishing touches on Grin And Bare Him, the second story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in November). Then I will send it to my awesome formatter (the Dear Wonderful Hubby).
I also switched from writing Raw Desires, the third story in the series, to writing Over Torque, this year’s thank you short story (it will be available on BookFunnel in December). I plan to send that to my Awesome Editor by the end of the month. Then I will switch back to writing Raw Desires.
Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Sing loudly and gloriously off key to a favorite song. Dance in your chair. Laugh at a terrible joke. Create some happy chaos. (grins)

Evolutionary Biology And Saving Seeds
I love many of the sciences. I follow the works of a gazillion scientists.
My favorite science is evolutionary biology – how lifeforms change over time to adapt to different conditions. This evolution is essential for survival. Our surroundings are changing. If we don’t change also, eventually we won’t survive where we currently are.
This is important. Especially now. Our climate is changing scarily quickly. Animals, plants, birds, insects, other lifeforms are struggling to match that fast pace.
Humans are attempting to help them. Experts are doing the bulk of that work. Some amateurs are trying also.
Then there’s me. (grins) I rank well below amateurs.
But I AM attempting to help by saving the seeds from the vegetables that survived the hotter, drier summer and managed to reproduce. The hope is…THEIR offspring will be better able to survive next summer.
Yes. (laughs) I’m doing the science.

Over Torque – This Year’s Thank You Short Story
Torque has found his female! Yes!
Torque last made an appearance in Provoking Odium. He’s the cyborg who is testing the defense systems at the border by blowing up non-functioning space ships.
His story will be short (about 50 pages) so it is perfect for this year’s thank you story (gifted in December).
This is a relief to me. I had no idea what I would write for this year’s short story. It turns out – I was waiting for Torque’s romance!

Tomatoes And The Mafia Squirrels
The Mafia Squirrels and I have come to an agreement.
I leave some of the ripe mini tomatoes on the low hanging branches for them.
And they leave my larger heirloom and beefsteak tomatoes alone.
(grins)
They taunt me, of course. The squirrels will eat the mini tomatoes VERY slowly while they sit on top of the fence and watch me weed the vegetable garden.
Sometimes, a bunch of them will gather and throw chestnuts at me from their perches in the chestnut tree. They chatter at me and at each other after every throw. I’m almost certain there is a contest over who can hit me. (laughs)
They are such menaces but they are adorable and I love them so much.

One More Time
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I issue each other a challenge – to use every item we own one more time.
We’ll wear a stained t-shirt one more time while painting the fence, for example. Or we’ll wash and reuse a plastic takeaway container one more for storing leftovers.
We started this to reduce our garbage. But it has saved us trips to the store. And sometimes the reused items are better than any we’d buy. I’m reusing an old cider container for a watering can (I punched holes in the lid) and it is, by far, the best watering can I have ever used.
When I write my stories, I craft them so they can be reread also. I put details into them you might not have caught during the fast first read. And future stories will often stealthily refer to past stories.
This isn’t merely a gift I hope to give to you. It is a gift I hope to give to me. (grins) A reread is the greatest compliment a reader could ever give a writer.

Muse Food – Katydids And Camouflage
I often think of camouflage as a means of helping a hunter or a warrior. The being blends into the background and that allows them to approach their target undetected.
But camouflage can be as beneficial for the target or prey. Look at this wonderful katydid.
Doesn’t she look like a leaf? She’d be dang difficult for a predator to locate amongst the foliage.
Camouflage is an option for BOTH warrior characters and beings seeking to survive an attack.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – September 4th
Grin And Bare Him, the second story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in November), is back with my Awesome Editor for another round of edits. We’re creeping closer to completion and I’m SUPER excited about this story! I hope you will love it as much as I do.
I continue to work on Raw Desires, the third story (likely releasing in February). I’m about halfway done this first draft and, WOW, it is amazingly action-packed. Raw’s heroine is so very kick a$$. (grins)
Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Enjoy this first week in September. Gaze at the back-to-school supplies in either physical stores or virtual stores. Admire the pretty notebooks and the cleverly designed pens and the cute animal-themed erasers. The array of colors alone make me happy!

When Do Bathroom Breaks Happen?
A reading buddy was teasing me about how my characters never need to take a pee break.
They DO take pee breaks.
That is one of the reasons why gaps of time elapse between scenes. During that “several moments later”, there is often plenty of time to go to the cleansing chamber (the bathroom) and eat and tidy up and do all those other not-so-exciting things we don’t really need to read about.
Don’t worry. The beings in my stories are taking care of their ‘business.” (grins)
