Muse Food – New Year’s Eve And Other Points In Time
Wednesday is New Year’s Eve.
It is the end of the year, of 2025.
It is also a day we, humans, invented to help us keep track and deal with passing moments, with the relentless progression of time.
It has no meaning other than the ones we give it. Yet it has become super important (and fun!) for many of us.
Do your characters have days, months, years in their worlds? Are there points in their timelines they celebrate or acknowledge?

Muse Food – Icelandic Horses And The Creatures We Domesticate
Why did humans domesticate
horses and not moose
honeybees and not yellowjackets
bunnies and not rats?
The species beings choose to domesticate, to bring into or bring close to their homes, say a lot about those beings – what they value, what they are hoping to gain from the other species, their relationship with the rest of the world and more.
Which species have the characters in your worlds domesticated? Why were THOSE species chosen?

Muse Food – Squirrels And Places In EcoSystems
Squirrels seem like cute little critters with no real purpose.
But their appearances are deceiving. They help trees, for example, reproduce by spreading their nuts and seeds. Many of the nuts and seeds squirrels bury in our lawns are never uncovered and eaten. They’re…planted. Permanently. And if conditions are right, they’ll grow into baby trees.
If squirrels didn’t plant them, something else would have to do that task. Or trees would go extinct.
I think about that whenever I build a world. Who or what will complete necessary tasks (like, as another example, breaking down dead materials)?

Intrepid Encounter
Cyborg vs. Valkyrie
Blood will be spilled and hearts will be captured.
Intrepid and his crew on the Dauntless guard the border to the cyborg sector. The D Model cyborg captain has dedicated his lifespan to protecting their homeland. He’ll do anything to secure the space and keep his brethren safe.
That includes confronting a Valkyrie intent on vengeance.
The female warrior is beautiful, brave, strong…and Intrepid’s genetic match. She’s the one being he is fated to claim. Her voice causes his circuits to hum. Her touch produces a passion he struggles to control.
But if he has to stop her…permanently…to protect his kind, he will make that sacrifice.
Olrun has been tracking the whereabouts of a one-of-a-kind object. The stolen item is critical to the safety of her Valkyrie sisters, and she’ll do anything to retrieve it.
That includes waging war on a tall, broad-shouldered cyborg warrior sporting brilliant-blue eyes and grimly set lips.
The male might…just might…have battle skills matching her own. And that excites the immortal fighter. She craves his rough handling, his punishing embrace, his stern words.
But Olrun’s desire for the cyborg won’t distract her from achieving her goal. She will shield her fellow Valkyries from danger, even if that means ending Intrepid’s lifespan in the process.
Intrepid Encounter is an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a protective cyborg, a vengeful Valkyrie, and a destiny neither of them can predict.
