Muse Food – The Hastings Buggy And Cutter
Sometimes, when I’m trying to figure out how far we, humans, can go in the future, I look back and remind myself how far we’ve gone in the past.
Transportation is one highly visible area we’ve advanced.
Look at this buggy and cutter the Dear Wonderful Hubby spotted in Toronto. They are likely over 100 years old, were likely purchased roughly (around 1905) around the time the first American automobile was designed.
Today, we have self-driving cars.
100 years from now, I suspect we’ll finally have our flying cars.
When seeking to predict the future, consider studying the past first. I find that to be…inspiring.

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.

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.

Raw Desires – Third Scene Of The First Chapter
The countdown to the release day for Raw Desires continues!
I’m sharing the third scene from the first chapter this week.
You can read the first scene here:
http://tasteofcyn.com/?p=10449
***
“That’s a ship.” She searched the skies. “The freighter with supplies isn’t scheduled to arrive for another forty-three planet rotations.”
That meant…
“Oh shit.” She holstered her gun, ran back inside her temporary home, grabbed the detonator, and dashed out the door.
The planet was smaller than some moons. The wreckage of the warship wasn’t located far away from her makeshift domicile.
But she was racing a ship, and she was admittedly shorter than the average human.
She ran as fast as she could toward the downed ship.
That was faster than she could’ve moved at the academy. Solar cycles of traversing the planet, burying bodies, and training for battle had increased her strength and her speed.
The approaching ship was also flying very slowly. That helped her greatly.
If it was a Humanoid Alliance vessel, and she would bet her only gun the enemy had returned, the crew was likely looking for survivors they could shoot.
They wouldn’t find anyone other than herself on the planet.
Their kind had killed everyone else.
For no fuckin’ reason.
Taytu’s jaw clenched.
Her people had been peace-loving beings. They had installed no defenses, wouldn’t have reacted to the invasion with violence.
Yet the Humanoid Alliance had chosen to obliterate the Abebans, not negotiate with them.
If the deities were just, she would soon obliterate some of them.
The incoming vessel didn’t speed up.
She arrived at the warship wreckage before they did.
The bombs had already been set around the site. She’d been liberal with the explosives, wanting to decimate as many of her foes as possible.
They were fast fuckers, however. She had to catch them off guard.
Taytu palmed the detonator, hiding the device in her hand. Three taps of her fingertips against the button, followed by one long press, would activate it.
She positioned herself behind one of the warship’s exterior panels. That would serve as a shield.
And she waited.
The engine noise grew louder. An artificial wind swept over her hiding place.
There was a loud thump. The rocks near her booted feet rattled. The noise of the engines stopped.
She braced herself, preparing for the confrontation and her impending death. The pain and her sacrifice would be worth it to avenge her loved ones.
A little bit of justice would be gained for baby Fana. And for her mom. And for the thousands of other Abebans who had wanted nothing more than happiness and harmony with the universe.
“Ours.” A female voice uttered that one word. “We retrieve the human also.”
Taytu hadn’t expected a female to be part of the recovery team. Cyborg warriors and Humanoid Alliance officers were all male. She peeked around the exterior panel.
The being leading the group did appear to be female. Her breasts were prominent, were the size of Taytu’s head.
The rest of the female was also huge. She was clad in black body armor, and she had the gray skin and energy-infused blue eyes of an early model cyborg.
Female cyborgs were rare. And they weren’t warriors. They were created for the Humanoid Alliance’s failed breeding program.
Taytu’s resolve faltered.
She could blow up the others. Her gaze shifted to the left and to the right. Those cyborgs were all males. They could’ve been some of the warriors who slaughtered her family.
But killing one of their females felt wrong.
Stars. It all felt wrong.
No. She quashed that thought. Killing the enemy wasn’t wrong. It was necessary.
Cyborgs were manufactured to end lifespans, to cause pain and death.
They’d killed sweet little Fana. Images of that tiny corpse filled Taytu’s thoughts. Her baby fingers had been tangled trustingly in her mother’s hair. She’d been so small, so innocent.
Ending a lifespan like that was wrong, horrifically wrong, yet it hadn’t stopped the enemy.
She had to stop them before they killed another innocent.
Her chin lifted.
She looked around the barrier again.
The female cyborg was wearing body armor, and she held guns in both of her hands. Beings of peace didn’t carry weapons.
Fuck it.
Taytu glared at the group. She was blowing them all up.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – February 5th
How are you doing this fine first week in February?
Raw Desires has been finalized and loaded to all booksellers. It is ready to release on the 21st.
I continue to craft the first messy draft of Strive For Forever. This fourth core story in the Cyborg Unity series is action-packed also. (grins) That is one of the defining characteristics thus far of the series – it has SO much action.
I love Strive. I love Euryale. They are great together.
Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) I think of February as the month of love so show yourself some extra love this month. Treat yourself to a piece of your favorite fruit. Sneak in some reading time. Moisturize with a wonderful lotion. Take a bubble bath. And be kind to yourself. You’re AWESOME. (more hugs)

Raw Desires And The Words We Speak Vs The Words We Know
Raw, the hero of Raw Desires (releasing on February 21st), feels comfortable speaking 5,082 words in the universal language.
This might seem low.
And it IS low. Raw is, admittedly, not skilled in communications. (grins)
But it isn’t as low as we might believe it is.
The average human male speaks 7,000 words a day.
Total.
Many of those words are repeated. Think of how many times we say ‘the’ or ‘a’ in a day.
Sure, the average person knows about 20,000 to 30,000 words in their birth language. Raw, in comparison, has millions of words in his databases.
But we tend to use the same words over and over.
For example, the first chapter of Raw Desires is 3,144 words long but it is crafty using only 1,030 unique words. I used ‘the’ 211 times and ‘her’ 128 times.
So having 5,082 words in regular rotation isn’t horrifying low.

Containers For Composting
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I have always composted. There is something wonderful about returning fruits, veggies, leaves and other plant materials to the earth. Composting also produces free high quality dirt and that’s the best price going. (grins)
When our city started their mass composting program, collecting our compostable stuff at the curb, I got a bit lazy about our own backyard composting. But now that we have the vegetable garden, I’ve gotten serious about it again.
When we first started composting, before the city collection program, the city supplied wonderful backyard composting bins to residents. Silly me. I only took one of them. We’re still using that compost bin today.
But we’ll soon need at least one, maybe two additional composting bins. We’ll likely go the cheapie garbage bin route. We’ll drill holes in the bottom and sides of a big garbage bin and voila, along with a well-sealing lid (to keep the critters and rain out), we’ll have a new composting bin.
It is THAT easy to create a composting bin. Some balcony gardeners create them using small pails.

Raw Desires And Talking With The Dead
In the first few scenes of Raw Desires, Taytu, the heroine, talks to her long deceased Mom.
Her Mom doesn’t talk back. She has been dead for solar cycles (years).
But Taytu knows her Mom so well she knows what her beloved departed parent would say. And talking to her gives Taytu comfort.
I also often ‘talk’ with my loved ones who have passed. I usually do this via thoughts, not spoken words.
‘Speaking’ with the dead gives me comfort. It ensures they remain part of my life and always reside in my heart. And I usually know what their replies would be also…because I know them.
Hey, this works for me. (grins) We do what we have to do to ease our sorrow and bring us happiness. And there’s nothing wrong with that!

Muse Food – Playing With Scale
The Dear Wonderful Hubby, when he returned from one of his many business trips, showed me this photo of cooking utensils.
I didn’t see anything special about it.
Then he told me the utensils were HUGE. They were roughly the length of my legs. They looked like they had been designed for giants.
Playing with scale or with the size of objects, beings, plants, other things is an easy way to create alien planets. The alien planet is like Earth except the trees are the size of our thumbs or the dandelions are the size of mountains or the aliens’ fingers are the length of their arms or…

Raw Desires – Second Scene Of The First Chapter
I’m sharing scenes from the first chapter of Raw Desires as we wait for its release on February 21st.
You can read the first scene of the first chapter here:
http://tasteofcyn.com/?p=10449
This week I’m sharing the second scene.
***
She turned and carefully navigated the spaces between the burial plots. Some of the mounds were heart-twistingly small. Her cousin’s daughter, Fana, had been born while Taytu was at the academy. She’d only seen the baby in images.
And she’d seen the infant in death. Taytu’s eyes stung. Fana had been clasped in her mother’s arms. One projectile had downed both of them.
Their enemy had no compassion, none at all. Her anger at the cyborgs flared once more, incinerating her grief, her sorrow, her guilt. She reveled in the hate. When she engaged her fury, she was spared the other, more difficult feelings.
It had kept her sane during the solar cycles of solitude, while she buried the dead and plotted the demise of those who had wronged her loved ones.
She continued to walk.
The land she trekked over was lifeless. No creatures scurried. No vegetation grew. There was no laughter of children or chirping of insects. Even the brook by the large rock was dry and silent.
The planet was alien to her. It bore little resemblance to her childhood home.
The Humanoid Alliance had destroyed everything.
Her shoulders rounded as she trudged into the small structure she’d constructed. To live in one of the dead’s homes felt…wrong. Her temporary living space was simple and shoddily put together, but it kept the rain off her face while she slept, and it ensured her few belongings remained dry.
Taytu extracted a nourishment bar from a storage container and took a swig of water from another container. While she ate and drank, she scrolled through the messages displayed on her handheld. Gezi and Kometa, two of her best friends from the academy, had both sent her multiple communications.
She sighed and plunked her ass on the fabric-covered vegetation she’d been using as a sleeping support. In twenty-one planet rotations, it would be exactly five solar cycles since she left the academy. She’d stopped talking to her friends that planet rotation.
Yet they continued to reach out to her. They didn’t know the being they’d known was gone forever, that her world now consisted of death and justice for the dead.
She didn’t respond to their messages, because she hadn’t anything to say to them. Goodbyes had been exchanged. She wouldn’t live through the implementation of her plans.
It was kinder to say nothing. She put the handheld aside.
Dirt covered her fingers and her flight suit. Even her short-cropped hair felt grimy.
Digging the grave for the boy had been messy work.
But he deserved that labor, that act of remembrance. They all did.
Seeking comfort and connection, Taytu skimmed her fingertips over the decoration on her wrist. It consisted of small polished stones held together by finely braided vegetation.
The heirloom piece had been handed down from generation to generation, had been restrung many times.
Her mom had been wearing it when she died.
Taytu often felt her mom’s presence in the stones. Her fingers stopped on a small rectangular one. It sported grooves.
That signified knowledge.
“I hear you. I hear you.” Her mom’s message was clear. Building her skillset should be her focus.
She swallowed the last bit of the nourishment bar, gulped some water, and rose to her booted feet.
There was no one around to view her filth. She could tidy herself later.
There was training to complete now.
This planet rotation’s session required weapons. She strapped three daggers and a modified gun to her form and marched out of the structure.
A mock cyborg was situated steps away from the door. It was constructed from branches, vegetation, and fabric.
She’d also located a set of body armor in the warship the Humanoid Alliance had crashed—the ship with two cyborgs trapped inside. The faux cyborg wore that protective garment.
Breaching that shield was one of her challenges. She drew the gun she’d altered, aimed, and fired.
The projectile struck her target. It shaved off some of the body armor, but it didn’t pierce that protective garment.
“What the fuck?” That wasn’t the result she expected.
She turned the gun to study it.
The weapon resembled the image of the other gun in the database. The modifications should work. The expert had boasted about downing cyborgs using it. He’d shown a set of body armor he’d blasted apart.
Taytu aimed at her target again and pressed the trigger.
The result was the same. The projectile merely grazed the protective garment.
“That expert was full of bovine shit.” She shook her head. “Maybe I need better projectiles.” She would research the possibilities and add a container of projectiles to her next order of supplies. “My daggers won’t penetrate the body armor either.”
The blades were solely for close-range defensive maneuvers, and even their effectiveness in those situations were in doubt. Cyborgs, according to her research, moved quicker than human eyesight could track. She’d likely be dead before she extracted her daggers from their sheaths.
“I’m back to relying on the explosives.” She’d mastered the ability to craft bombs. Those should blow up anything, including cyborgs and their irritating body armor. “I don’t like that. If the explosives fail—”
An artificial droning filled the air.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – January 29th
I shared the first scene of Raw Desires this week. Woot! That means the countdown to release day is on! I can’t wait for you to read this story, my friends. It is action-packed.
I continue to work on the first draft of Strive For Forever, the fourth story in the Cyborg Unity series. I’m loving this story also. Strive and his human heroine are such unique beings. They fascinate me.
Have a wonderful week, my friends. (tackle hugs) Enjoy these final few days in January. Stop for a moment. Take a deep breath. Smell the air. Listen to the wind. Feel the breeze on your skin. Savor…well…everything. (smiles)

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.

Thinning The Radishes And Other Gardening Experiments
Writing SciFi Romance wasn’t a random choice for me. (grins) I love science, especially conducting experiments.
That extends to my gardening. I am constantly experimenting and testing things.
I continue to grow veggies in the basement grow station the Dear Wonderful Hubby set up for me.
I was told that thinning radishes would result in larger radishes faster.
So I tried that and I found NO difference, except now I have fewer radishes to harvest. The radishes took the same time to grow and were roughly the same size.
I have also been trying to grow onions from onion bottoms. I cut the bottoms or root ends off the store bought onions, put them in water for a while until they grew longer roots and then stuck them in some dirt.
The onion tops (the green part) grew vigorously. I have yet to see any sort of bulb form.
I still have hope, however, and will be continuing to grow them.
I’ll give you an update in a couple months or sooner!
