Feeding The Bumblebees
The only things left growing in the backyard garden are tomatoes, lots and lots of tomatoes, marigolds, my one and only surviving zinnia plant and herbs.
The first frost date is roughly November 1st in my corner of the universe.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I are allowing the tomato plants to continue to flower, however, because those flowers are feeding the bumblebees. As are the marigolds and the zinnia. The more flowers the bumblebees can feed on before the cold comes the more likely the queen bees are to survive the winter.
It is a tiny way we can make the bees’ lives better and the world a better place. (smiles)

Intrepid Encounter
(This blurb is VERY rough.)
Cyborg vs. Valkyrie
Blood will be spilled and hearts will be stolen.
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 is the one being he is fated to claim. Her voice causes his circuits to hum. Her caresses produce 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 Valkyries everywhere and she will 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 touch, 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 Valkyrie sisters from danger, even if that means ending Intrepid’s lifespan in the process.

Sleeping Bumblebees
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spotted a bumblebee recently.
He was sleeping, snuggled up next to a tomato seedling in the basement grow station.
He was so very adorable, with his fuzzy bee bum sticking out from underneath the leaves.
And he was VERY grumpy when we transferred him outside and woke him up. I don’t think he is a morning bee.

Raw Desires
His human female is attempting to kill him.
This cyborg finds that adorable.
Raw, a K model cyborg, is one of the lucky warriors who has located his genetic match. He hears his human female’s voice over the communication lines and immediately processes she is his.
Winning her affections will be a greater challenge. Battle has always been Raw’s focus. The rough-and-tough warrior has no idea how to engage anyone’s tender emotions.
Fortunately, he isn’t alone in the universe. His unmatched male friends help him craft a plan.
All Raw has to do is relay a few unsettlingly sweet words to his female and give her the thoroughly unfunctional wall decoration he has obtained. He projects she will then jump into his big, strong arms and beg him to claim her.
Taytu isn’t jumping anywhere. She has one mission—kill every cyborg in existence.
The huge, handsome male traveling to meet with her is her first target. His rough hands, firm lips, and sparkling, energy-infused eyes won’t save him from her vengeance. She has trained vigorously for this moment, and she won’t fail at her assigned task.
The cyborg will die.
Raw Desires is an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

Muse Food – Bees
Albert Einstein once said, “If the bee disappears from the surface of the Earth, man would have no more than four years left to live.”
I think it is amazing that our survival is dependent on the tiniest of creatures.
Watching the bees in my corner of the world gives me hope for the world. The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I do all we can to ensure our neighborhood is bee-friendly.
Bees also inspire me creatively. I love the idea of the tiniest character in a story saving the universe. (grins)

Cyborgs are designed to fight. That is their primary purpose and 98.2356 percent of the manufactured warriors enjoy battle. Tremendously.

A female has to do what a female has to do to save the universe.

What You Are Doing Matters
There is a mission in our neighborhood to save the bumblebees.
We don’t rake all the leaves in the fall, leaving some for the bumblebees to burrow under. We don’t use pesticides in our yards (the city has a no pesticide rule). We allow the dandelions, the first flowers of the season, to bloom. We wait to cut our lawns.
The first year, there didn’t seem to be much change in the bumblebee population. We were a bit discouraged.
Ten years later, WOW, we have so many bumblebees. They happily buzz around our yards.
Right now, it might seem like your efforts on a certain project are wasted.
They’re not wasted. Your efforts matter.
They merely need time to blossom!
