Muse Food – If All Humans Disappeared
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spotted this flower vine-covered building in La Romana, Dominican Republic.
One of the exercises I undertake when my muse isn’t feeling inspired is to go somewhere, it could be my backyard (most likely) or halfway across the planet (extremely rarely), and ask myself, “What would this place look like if all humans disappeared tomorrow? What would nature do if she was allowed to retake the land?”
It wouldn’t revert to what it was before humans. We’ve changed the planet permanently. I suspect it would be a bit of a mix…like this building is.
What do you believe your neighborhood would look like if all humans disappeared?

Drift Would
A cyborg and a spy fly into danger.
***
Drift is one of the best pilots in existence, and he has been assigned a perilous mission.
The G Model cyborg must fly to a distant planet, locate the sector-destroying superweapon the enemy is projected to be developing there, and obliterate that threat to the universe.
When Drift arrives at his destination and meets with an informant, he’s distracted by a mysterious human female seated in the shadows. She’s Drift’s genetic match, and she is the one being he’s destined to care for, claim, and protect.
She’s also a liar and a thief. And she might be working with the enemy.
Trusting her could kill him and everyone he cares about.
Liar. Thief. Seductress. Saboteur. Roshini has been called all of those things. And she has earned each label. She’s done some terrible things to safeguard the beings she loves.
A gray-eyed cyborg warrior with nimble hands and a shared need for speed won’t stop her high-risk activities.
She’ll sacrifice everything, including her lifespan, to complete her self-appointed top-secret assignment.
***
Drift Would is a standalone, enemies-to-lovers, Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a cyborg who loves to break speed records, a human spy with a talent for changing her appearance, and a foe intent on killing them both.

Muse Food – Cows In Space
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spotted this cow outside of Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.
Bovines appear on various planets in my Cyborg World.
This is partially a joke. (grins) The thought of cows in space is funny to me.
But there is also a scientific reason for having cows on the planets.
Something has to eat the vegetation.
Everything needs a predator, something that will keep the population in check. That includes plants. Cows have evolved to be very good plant eaters.
Will the cows on alien planets look like cows?
They will likely have similarities (like a digestive system that can tolerate grasses and other plants) but they won’t look exactly like the cows we have here on Earth.
They will definitely be space cows.

Strike Zone
A cyborg devoted to duty…and to her.
***
While attending a party, Kesser, the daughter of her planet’s leader, witnesses the abduction of her best friend and her best friend’s mate.
She’s determined to rescue them. Preferably without fracturing the fragile peace agreement her mom has crafted with the abductors’ planet.
The only issue is…she has never participated in a retrieval mission.
Searching for assistance, she approaches the mate’s guard. The male, with his big broad shoulders and deep growly voice, affects her like no other being ever has.
Kesser wants him. She trusts him. And she requires his stealth combat skills.
Desperately.
Strike is no guard. The D Model cyborg has been sent to the sector to discreetly investigate a potential planet-destroying situation.
When a curvy human female with big brown eyes requests his help with a rescue, he doesn’t hesitate to say yes. She’s his genetic match, the one being he was manufactured to protect.
She’s also traveling to the next planet he has to search. He plans to claim his female while he fulfills his responsibilities to his kind.
Neither Strike nor Kesser realizes the dangers facing them are far greater than they imagine. Their enemies are converging, and one failed mission could doom the entire universe.
***
Strike Zone is a standalone, mistaken-identity, Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a cyborg warrior with a finely honed sense of honor, a human support being taking on her first dangerous mission, and an evil that threatens everyone in existence.

Muse Food – Why Choose?
I’m a real dumba$$. (grins)
I often stress about the coloring for aliens. I’ve done quite a few purple alien species, blue alien species, green, orange, other colors. And I don’t want to repeat colors but there are only so many hues.
IF the alien is merely one color.
Look at this beautiful macaw we spotted in the Dominican Republic.
They are white, red, blue, green, AND yellow.
Aliens are likely to sport a variety of colors also. They can be green AND blue. Or orange AND brown. Or any number of different combinations.
I shouldn’t restrict myself to only one!

Muse Food – The Passage Of Time
One of my favorite scenes to write is when the heroine or hero goes back to their childhood home and they see the changes that have occured in that place they once knew so well.
Because while their home is frozen in one state in their minds, time hasn’t stopped in reality.
Nature might have reclaimed buildings as it has in this photo (the Dear Wonderful Hubby snapped it in the Dominican Republic).
Or perhaps new occupants have altered the landscape with their construction projects. Or the heroine’s or hero’s families, if they still live there, have implemented changes.
Time has marched forward. And that can evoke fierce emotions.

The Power Of The Sphere
Spheres appear often in ancient cultures.
Here are some spheres found in displayed in the Altos de Chavon Regional Museum of Archaeology in La Romana, Dominican Republic.
As per the sign…
“Burial Practices
The hunter-gatherer-fisher groups known as Ciboney used caves and concheros-mounds of seashells-to deposit bundles of human bones.
The bones, which were cleansed and painted with red ochre, were placed in these sites a good while after the deaths of the individuals, suggesting that time and effort were dedicated to this practice.
The Ciboney also made stone spheres to deposit next to the bones as funerary offerings.”

Seizing Power
This cyborg believes he’s in control.
Power is the self-appointed leader of the cyborg council. Other members might debate situations. He makes the ultimate decisions.
When a threat to the Homeland is revealed, he takes command of a fleet and ventures to the edge of cyborg-controlled space to investigate. He finds a rebellion led by a mysterious upstart he calls Cadet.
The plan Power derives is simple—he’ll quickly quash the uprising and teach its leader a lesson the warrior will never forget.
NO ONE challenges his authority.
Eirene Ours might have been called a cadet by Power but she is NOT his subordinate. She is the arrogant E Model’s genetic match.
For much of her mature lifespan, she has desired the male, yearning for his dark-eyed gaze, craving his sure hands, longing for his respect.
That esteem was never granted. And Eirene Ours can no longer wait to earn it. There’s an external threat to their kind, a danger that might destroy them all.
Having lured Power to her home terrain, she now plans to use everything within her means – her fists, her daggers, her ship-destroying missiles – to pound that truth into her stubborn warrior’s thick metal skull.
The future of every cyborg is at stake. She can’t fail them.
Power will believe her. Or he will die.

Seizing Power is an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features an epic battle between two equally strong cyborg leaders, plans that go terribly yet passionately wrong, and a love that will shake the entire universe.

These tools, displayed in the Altos de Chavon Regional Museum of Archaeology in La Romana, Dominican Republic, are made of stone and seem to be designed to be gripped by one hand.
This tool resembles a hatchet.
This tool looks like it could be used to smack the sh*t out of something or someone. (grins)
As Quinn says, “Stab the bad beings with the pointy end.”
I have no idea what this tool would be used for. It resembles a shark tooth.

B Free
B is the last remaining B Model cyborg. All of his brethren, the beings he trained with, fought with, cared deeply for, have perished.
Or so he believes.
When he intercepts a communication mentioning the existence of one of his kind, he has to investigate its source. The message could be a trap set by his enemies. He’ll take that risk if it secures him the companionship he requires to be fully functional.
What he finds is a daring brown-eyed female who activates all his systems. She proudly proclaims she’s a researcher, brandishing that information like a weapon before her. He wants to kiss the sass off her beautiful face, protect her from the dangers around them, claim her forever.
Quinn is on a quest to locate the mechanics of an early-version cyborg. She believes the information captured within that frame will give her valuable insights into the past.
When her mission goes zombie-like beings levels of wrong, she comes face-to-face with a living, breathing B Model. He has big hands, a primitive countenance, and stern hard lips crafted for kissing.
She doesn’t trust him. And she doesn’t have time to indulge her desires.
Their shared enemies are chasing them, would kill to get their precious specimens back. One minor mistake could reduce B and Quinn to a mere line in the databases of history.

These early tools were displayed in the Altos de Chavon Regional Museum of Archaeology in La Romana, Dominican Republic.
As per the sign…
“Igneri Ceramics And Tools
Igneri ceramics were very elaborate, adorned with white-on-red and red-on-orange designs and handles with animal and human forms.
Their most important tools were axes, scrapers, spoons, awls, and polishers.”

Neck Decorations
Neck decorations are often mentioned in my stories. Bettina aka Bait in Choosing Chuckles crafts them in her spare time.
Beings here on Earth have been decorating their bodies since…well…since forever.
These Taino necklaces, displayed in the Altos de Chavon Regional Museum of Archaeology in La Romana, Dominican Republic, are examples of how humans beautifully decorated their forms with locally located materials.
This necklace was crafted using all the same shells. Look at the exquisite detailing on the crafted holes.
This necklace was crafted with stone and feathers. The colors are amazing.
These beads are so very tiny. The pattern with the different colored beads are as finely wrought.
I think it says something about us that we’ve always created art. We’ve always expressed ourselves creatively. It is a core part of who we are as beings. It feeds a need deep down in our souls.

B Free And Butterfly-Shaped Axe Heads
Quinn, the heroine of B Free, is a researcher. She also has the gift of psychometry, the ability to read the past by touching metal objects.
These butterfly-shaped axe heads, displayed in the Altos de Chavon Regional Museum of Archaeology in La Romana, Dominican Republic, are made of stone but I used them as inspiration for some of the weapons Quinn researches. They are so very beautiful yet are practical.
As per the sign…
“Butterfly-shaped axe heads wedged into wooden handles are representative of the late pre-agricultural groups and are thought to have been used to fell and chop trees to make canoes and paddles.
The decorated axes, petroglyphs, cave drawings, and various objects of unknown use left behind by pre-agricultural groups are all evidence that their societies followed practices that went beyond mere subsistence.”

Writers On Vacation
Recently, the dear wonderful hubby and I went on a (super cheap) cruise from Florida. One of the stops was the Dominican Republic. The cruise terminal was situated miles away from anywhere. We needed to take a taxi to town. To save money, we partnered with another couple.
We usually travel on the cheap, hiring a driver if that’s necessary (more often, we take public transportation or we hoof it) and that’s it. The wife of this couple, however, really wanted the history spiel. This was her first big trip and she wanted to know everything about the place.
She talked us into hiring a ‘guide’. This guide assured us that he knew his history and he could speak English well. We piled into the taxi and took off.
It turned out… he could only speak enough English to convince us that he knew the language. He had memorized short speeches about the big sites. His answer to every question was ‘Yes. Yes.’
The wife was disappointed. She became more and more upset, arguing with our ‘guide’. The dear wonderful hubby and I could tell that this blunder was wrecking her day, coloring her view of an otherwise wonderful country.
So we started peppering our so-called guide with ridiculous questions.
“Is it true that General Luperon died fighting the vampirous, ferocious blood drinking invaders from a nearby island?”
“Yes. Yes.” The guide bobbed his head.
“I read that today is take your chicken to work day.”
“Yes. Yes.” The guide nodded.
“I understand that depression in trees is common here, that they have tree doctors who try to lift their spirits.”
“Yes. Yes.”
Soon, the wife was smiling, laughing, joining in, asking equally ridiculous questions. At the end of the day, the husband said it was the most fun he’d ever had on a tour. We had an absolute blast.
Never question that reading and creativity is valuable. It can change a ‘disastrous’ day into one of the best ever.

Crash And Burn
Crash was manufactured to be one of the best warriors in the universe. The cyborg has spent many human lifespans fighting the enemy. But, unlike his battle-loving brethren, he doesn’t enjoy killing. When he escapes the Humanoid Alliance, he vows to never end another life.
Then he meets Safyre, an infuriating human female, and he considers breaking his vow.
Safyre will do anything to save her friend, the being she loves like a sister. She’ll ravish a huge hunky cyborg, kiss his best friend, and invoke scorching hot desires the male never realized he could feel. Dark soulful eyes, a quick wit, and a tempestuous passion won’t divert her from her mission.
Love, and a planet-destroying weapon, however, might stop her permanently.
