Under Strain, Rohini 9 And Its Namesake
In Under Strain, much of the action occurs on Rohini 9, a dinosaur planet located outside the cyborg’s sector.
Rohini is a nod to Aldebaran or Rohini (the red one) as the giant star is referred to in Hindu astronomy. Aldebaran is situated about 65 light-years from our sun and is notable for being the fourteenth brightest star in our sky.
There’s a probe right now traveling to Aldebaran. It should arrive there in about 2 million years. (grins) That’s a LONG trip.
Rohini is a goddess (specifically the red goddess) in Hinduism and is a personification of Aldebaran. She is a consort of Chandra, the moon god.
Rohini 9’s moons play a pivotal role in the Rebel Cyborgs series.

Under Strain
A damaged cyborg warrior is hunted by a peace-loving human female.
***
Strain is severely malfunctioning. The D Model cyborg was the sole survivor after a horrific decision was made by his cruel manufacturers. He hates all humans, and when he attacks one who is under his cyborg leader’s protection, he is reprimanded, stripped of his weapons, and told to watch and not actively participate in the next mission.
That mission takes place on a small remote planet. Its lush terrain should only be inhabited by the cyborgs they were sent to rescue, but Strain senses another presence on the surface. She is watching him, tracking him, hunting him.
A fully operational cyborg would end her lifespan.
Strain wants to claim her. Forever.
Kamyelle is the only one left of her kind. Warriors have killed the other nonviolent human inhabitants of her planet. She survived…barely…by hiding in the trees, observing her enemies, and covering herself with lifeform scan-concealing mud.
When a handsome, gray-skinned, brilliant-blue-eyed male arrives, surrounded by weapon-carrying warriors, she has to save him. Warriors harm and they kill. That is what they do.
She won’t allow them to hurt Strain.
***
Under Strain is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a broken warrior, a human female who thinks he’s perfect, and velociraptor-like dinosaurs who view them both as light, tasty snacks.

Cynthia Sax Upcoming Releases
There’s so much excitement coming up and I realized I haven’t given you an update on my release schedule for Cynthia Sax in a while.
Containing Malice, the first story in the Rebel Cyborgs series, released in February. The rest of 2021 and a bit of 2022 will be dedicated to this series. I realize many of you are waiting for Power’s story and I don’t want to extend that wait any longer than I have to.
There WILL be more cyborg stories after this series ends. There will be next generation stories and there are many warriors we’ve ‘met’ in past stories who will find their genetic matches. The Rebel Cyborgs series will modify the cyborgs’ world and that will have repercussions.
I plan to write about cyborgs for a long, long time.
Under Strain, the second story in the Rebel Cyborgs series, has been written, edited, formatted and loaded to booksellers. It is on track for release in May (that is dang soon)!
I’m completing the second draft of Baring Grudge, the third story, this week and hope to send it to my Awesome Editor by the 10th. I am so optimistic about her loving this story I’ve set Baring Grudge up for pre-orders also.
I’m a little ahead writing-wise in my schedule but I think I will likely need that extra time when I get to Power’s story. That story will suck all the brain cells out of my head…in a happy way. Power and his female have HUGE personalities. This series will definitely end with a bang. (grins)
Here is my core story release schedule for the next year
May 2021 – Under Strain (Available For Pre-Ordering Now)
August 2021 – Baring Grudge (Available For Pre-Ordering Now)
November 2021 – B Free
December 2021 – Valor’s Story
February 2022 – Seizing Power

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – April 4th
Woot! It is the first update in April, one of my favorite months. I love Spring so very much. It is all about renewal and babies and more sunlight. I missed the sun.
I’m halfway through the second draft of Baring Grudge, the third story in the Rebel Cyborgs series (releasing in August). I hope to complete this second draft and maybe the third in this upcoming week. Grudge is such a fun special cyborg and his female is perfect for him.
I survived April Fool’s Day! That’s an accomplishment for me as I tend to believe friends and family when they tell me something. (sheepish grin) But I spent most of the day offline so I cheated a bit. Plus I had post-its everywhere reminding myself it was April Fool’s Day.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby treated me to some Cadbury Easter Crème Eggs this weekend. One of my Awesome Brothers-In-Law also gifted me with a Gold Lindt Bunny, who was almost too cute to eat. Almost. (evil grins) The ears were the first to go. Then his bunny tail. And feet. There’s not much of him left. I am a chocolate monster.
I’m wishing you a wonderful day, a terrific week, much happiness and love. I hope you get a chance to read and relax and do something just for you. You deserve it. (big hugs)

Under Strain, Cyborgs And Reprimands
While the cyborgs were under Humanoid Alliance control, they were reprimanded harshly for any sort of wrongdoing, real or imagined. They were often deemed to be malfunctioning and suffered the most painful death possible, being sliced apart while conscious, salvaged for parts while feeling everything.
The Humanoid Alliance also tortured the cyborgs in all the ways a warrior could be tortured.
No cyborg would voluntarily do that to one of their brethren.
Which pushes cyborg leaders to be creative when reprimanding warriors.
Power punished Death and his female in Defying Death by restricting them to the Homeland. Taking away the freedom they fought so hard to obtain is quite severe.
Cadet punishes Strain in Under Strain by stripping him of his weapons and forcing him to watch upcoming battles, not participate in them. This is a very effective reprimand because most cyborgs, including Strain, LOVE to fight. They love their weapons. They’ll regret not having that fun with their brethren.
Strain, however, discovers another kind of fun…with his female. (grins)

Hot Cross Buns And My Awesome Mom
When I was growing up, we didn’t have much. Some days, we didn’t eat (yes, here in Canada). We didn’t have outdoor plumbing (we used an outhouse). We made our own fun.
Some family members are still living like this today.
But every year, on Good Friday, my Awesome Mom would make hot cross buns for everyone and I mean everyone. (grins) She made them for the entire village. Other folks would drop by. It didn’t matter what people believed, their religion or their views on the universe. It was a celebration for everyone, a way my Awesome Mom, having not much at all, would give back to the world.
We, of course, didn’t have the fancy ingredients. There was no candied fruit. These hot cross buns had raisins and were topped with the simplest of icings (mostly icing sugar and straight-from-the-cow milk).
But stars, those buns were good. We would stuff our little faces.
And we would realize how very lucky we were.
We might have been poor but folks came from all over to eat my Mom’s hot cross buns, raving about how good they were. That was something to be proud of, something to be grateful for.
I’m thinking of her today, thinking how lucky I am to know such a generous, giving woman. I will definitely be calling her later, once the hot cross bun baking is done.

Throwback Thursday – Knowing Zip
Today is April Fool’s Day. I’m not a big fan of tricks or pranks (I have a few trust issues – grins) but this day is still very special to me.
When I was a teenager, I babysat two little boys. I loved those boys. We would spend all summer and one day at the very least a week together, running through fields, talking about science and the world, their issues and joys.
The youngest was born on April 1st. He would introduce himself as “I’m T and I’m a fool.” And then he’d laugh. LOL That never failed to make me smile.
I’m thinking of them today and yes, I’m smiling as I do that.
I think Zip, the hero of my free short story Knowing Zip, would really enjoy April Fool’s Day. He loved the idea of making his female’s fantasies come true by abducting her. I believe he’d add some more fun to their lifespans by ‘tricking’ her in other sexy ways. (grins)
Knowing Zip
Abducted by the warrior of her dreams.
Zip is the last of his friends to find his female, the one being meant for him. He isn’t certain she exists until he hears her voice over a transmission. A self-proclaimed systems deity, he researches his curvy little human and discovers she dreams of being abducted by a big, strong warrior. Zip plans to make his female’s fantasies come true.
Ryssa wants one gift for her birthing planet rotation—to be captured by a warrior, preferably a tall, muscular cyborg with black hair, gray skin, and brilliant blue eyes. When Zip arrives on her planet, claiming to be her male, Ryssa assumes one of her friends has ordered the experience for her, and throws herself into the encounter, losing herself in Zip’s hot kisses, sensual touch, dominant embrace.
When the fantasy fades, will their love survive?
Knowing Zip is a short companion story in the Cyborg Sizzle series and is meant to be read after Seeking Vector.
It is also a BBW Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes violent universe.

Cyborgs, Spring And Babies
It is spring in my corner of the universe, a season I always associate with babies – baby plants, baby animals, babies of all kinds. There is a robin nest outside my window and I’m hoping I’ll see some babies soon.
Cyborgs become as excited about babies.
Before Rage met Joan in Releasing Rage, cyborgs didn’t think they could reproduce on their own. They were manufactured in massive vats by the Humanoid Alliance scientists. The breeding programs were unsuccessful.
Rage and Joan proved baby cyborgs WERE possible between a warrior and the being (or, in rare cases, beings) he is genetically compatible with.
Babies are still rare, however. Very few (as a percentage of all cyborgs) warriors have found their compatible beings and reproduction once they find him/her happens sporadically.
This is likely a good thing. Cyborgs and their genetic matches have the ability to live forever. They also don’t age, which means they can potentially make babies for the same duration – for all eternity.
Quick reproduction would result in the universe being overrun with cyborgs. I’d be okay with that but other beings might object.
Cyborg couples (or more) can take their time, get to know each other, practice breeding (grins) before expanding their families. Every offspring is cherished, treasured and protected by all the warriors… (looks at Choice) whether they want that often excessive safeguarding or not.

Containing Malice
This tormented cyborg craves vengeance…and her.
***
Malice, a C Model cyborg, has spent his long lifespan enslaved by the Humanoid Alliance. His cruel manufacturers have hurt him in all the ways a male could be hurt.
His enemy has now added a new weapon to their arsenal—a tiny human medic with soft hands and a delectable scent. She experiments on him multiple times a shift, delivering pain…and frustration.
He wants her. He also seeks retribution.
Once Malice frees himself, he plans to achieve both of his goals, taking Medic Illona captive and ending her research…permanently.
Illona is as much a prisoner as the cyborgs she experiments on. Since her arrival at the Human Alliance’s secret laboratory, she has carefully, stealthily, crafted a plot to free her test subjects. To conceal her covert activities, the medic has been forced to harm beings rather than heal them.
The being she has damaged the most is also the cyborg she fiercely desires— Malice, a huge, gray-skinned, blue-eyed C Model with massive hands and a voice deeper than space. He hates her, has good reason to do so, and, when he’s freed, there’s a high probability he’ll kill her.
Illona will take that risk to ensure he survives.

Containing Malice is a STANDALONE enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It is the first of five core stories in the Rebel Cyborgs Series.

Female Cyborgs And The Rebel Cyborg Series
I’ve received quite a few awesome queries from reading buddies about the other female cyborgs, cyborgs like Sky from Releasing Rage, the first cyborg romance I published.
I haven’t forgotten about them! (grins) I promise! I also haven’t forgotten about many of the other cyborg warriors I’ve mentioned in previous stories. They merely haven’t found their genetic matches yet. It IS a huge universe.
I’m trying not to share spoilers. This is challenging for me. I want to tell you EVERYTHING I know. If I do that outside of their own stories, the cyborgs will stop talking to me. We don’t want that to happen.
I WILL share that, knowing Sky, she will likely make a brief appearance in the Rebel Cyborg series. Cadet IS a new female cyborg. Sky will be curious about Cadet and Cadet must be curious about Sky.
Will they get along? Well…THAT I don’t know. Not yet.

Baring Grudge – Cover And Blurb
I’ve completed the first draft of Baring Grudge and I believe, once it has been revised and edited (there will be at least 5 more drafts), you will absolutely love it.
It will be releasing in August and I’ve loaded it to booksellers so you can pre-order it if you’d like to do that.
Baring Grudge
There’s no one in the universe more determined than a cyborg warrior tracking his female.
***
Grudge, a C Model cyborg, has been assigned a mission – safeguard a Humanoid Alliance space station for his kind. Honor was once all he had and he is determined to fulfill his duty.
That resolve is tested when a tiny human female enters the space station and sets the prettiest little explosives the warrior has ever seen. She is Grudge’s genetic match, the one being manufactured for him. He wants to touch her, kiss her, claim her in all ways but, first, he has to stop her from blowing him into the next galaxy.
Taelyn has a self-appointed mission—to destroy every battle robot the Humanoid Alliance has ever manufactured. A huge gray-skinned, blue-eyed cyborg warrior with mismatched arms won’t prevent her from achieving her goal. She’ll escape him, leaving destruction in her wake.
Before she departs, she’ll experience one toe-curling moment of hatred-edged passion with her handsome foe. She’ll show him how skilled with detonations she truly is. He will have his universe rocked.
Then she’ll disappear.
She doesn’t know her cyborg has no intention of ever letting her go.
***
Baring Grudge is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a determined, damaged warrior, an equally resolute human female and an explosive game of predator and prey played across galaxies.
Baring Grudge is the third of five core stories in the Rebel Cyborgs Series.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – March 28th
I finished the first draft of Baring Grudge, the third story in the Rebel Cyborgs series (releasing in August), this week! Woot! It is a hot mess, as all my first drafts are, but I love Grudge and his female and the other characters we meet in this story and I love how action-packed and explosive (literally) this story is. (grins) I think you’ll love it also.
This upcoming week and the following one will be focused on the second and third drafts. I hope to send Baring Grudge to my Awesome Editor by end of day April 10th. There will likely be three more rounds of editing before this story is finalized.
I feel like I’ve completed this first draft super early but I haven’t. Not really. I just loaded the final draft of Under Strain this week and it releases on May 11th (I like to load final drafts at booksellers at least a month before release day because…well…there have been issues around shorter timeframes in the past).
It is Spring in my corner of the universe. Yesterday, I sat on the front steps and watched the baby ladybugs explore their surroundings. They were adorable and so very tiny.
I hope you’re having a great day, my friends, and I wish you a wonderful week filled with good romance novels, many laughs and much love. (big hugs)

His enemy has now added a new weapon to their arsenal—a tiny human medic with soft hands and a delectable scent. She experiments on him multiple times a shift, delivering pain…and frustration.
He wants her. He also seeks retribution.
Once Malice frees himself, he plans to achieve both of his goals, taking Medic Illona captive and ending her research…permanently.
Illona is as much a prisoner as the cyborgs she experiments on. Since her arrival at the Human Alliance’s secret laboratory, she has carefully, stealthily, crafted a plot to free her test subjects. To conceal her covert activities, the medic has been forced to harm beings rather than heal them.
The being she has damaged the most is also the cyborg she fiercely desires— Malice, a huge, gray-skinned, blue-eyed C Model with massive hands and a voice deeper than space. He hates her, has good reason to do so, and, when he’s freed, there’s a high probability he’ll kill her.
Illona will take that risk to ensure he survives.
