Watching The Garden Grow

By Cynthia Sax on May 23, 2023

All of the seedlings have been planted in the backyard vegetable bed. Yay! They are still very small but it does look like a legitimate garden now. (smiles)

I joke about sitting back and watching the garden grow.

There are still tasks to complete in the garden. I’m composting. I’m weeding. I’m replanting whatever the mafia squirrels dig up. I’m training the peas along the string trestle. And interesting tasks like that.

But the hard work IS over…until harvest begins.

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 – Collections

By Cynthia Sax on May 22, 2023

I LOVE looking at other people’s collections. I find that super inspiring.

(This collection was displayed on the Norwegian Getaway.)

I like to hear what started them on collecting that particular thing. There’s usually a great character-telling story behind it. That story is unique to the person and it shows us what they value.

I also like to see the little differences in the items in the collection. That helps me remember to note the little details in objects appearing in my stories. Because those little details make them special. They make them worth ‘collecting.’

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – May 21

By Cynthia Sax on May 21, 2023

I’m still puttering around with the first few chapters of Intrepid Encounter, the fifth core story in the Cyborg Unity series (likely releasing in November). I’m getting to know both Intrepid and his Valkyrie better and I’m playing with scenes, figuring out the best way to introduce you to these two dynamic beings.

Strive For Forever, the fourth core story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in July), remains with my Awesome Editor. I’m expecting the first round of edits at the end of the month.

Have a wonderful week, my friends! (big hugs) Daydream a bit in the sunbeams (as this cat is doing). Think about all the people and furbabies and things you’ve loved in your awesome life. Stars. You are lucky to have those memories! They belong solely to you and to you alone. And that’s amazeballs!

Writing And Trust

By Cynthia Sax on May 20, 2023

This wonderful writing business revolves around trust.

I trust, for example, that my Awesome Cover Artist is using either her own photos or stock photos she has purchased. That’s what we agreed and, as far as I know, she has stayed true to her word.

My Awesome Editor trusts, as another example, that I’ve written the stories I’ve sent her. They are all my own bizarre thoughts and wild sentences (laughs).

I keep that in mind when bad things involving business partners of other writers arise. I assume those writers trust their cover artists and editors and other business partners as much as I trust mine. I don’t assume they ‘knew’ because it most likely hadn’t even crossed their minds.

We are all functioning on trust in this wonderful business. And trust is fragile.

Next Book Pressure

By Cynthia Sax on May 19, 2023

Writers were talking online about the pressure to produce a great follow up book in a beloved series.

No writer wants to disappoint readers (big hugs). We want the next book to be as loved as the previously book. And that produces tremendous stress on us…which, ironically, often hurts our ability to write anything at all.

The way I deal with this pressure is to write the next book before the current book releases.

For me, putting that one book distance between me and the latest release eases my tension. The follow up book has already been written. There’s nothing I can do about it. All I can do is push on.

And I do exactly that, keeping one book ahead of the release. (smiles)

The Last One To Find Love

By Cynthia Sax on May 17, 2023

Strive For Forever, the fourth core story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in July), is currently with my Awesome Editor.

Strive is the last cyborg in his friend group of three to find his genetic match. I always have a special place in my heart for the last hero or heroine in a group to find love. They’re surrounded by happy couples (or more). They’re romantically alone. And they wonder if they’ll ALWAYS be romantically alone.

That’s a tough place to be. I’ve been that solo single in the past. I know how that feels.

And I always cheer when those characters find love.

Find Your Happy Place

By Cynthia Sax on May 16, 2023

The world can be a bit…much lately. Changes are occurring and not all of them are positive.

I highly recommend all of us find our happy places.

And these happy places can be different for everyone.

One of my happy places is the garden or any type of plant. When I’m feeling stressed or upset or unhappy, I go and find a plant. This could be a dandelion growing between the cracks in the pavement or one of the snake plants in the living room or some other green growing thing. When I find that plant, I sit down and I look at it for while. If I can, I touch the soil or the leaves. This usually calms my wild a$$ down.

One of the Dear Wonderful Hubby’s happy places is vacation planning. He chooses a destination and then he plots out an imaginary or real vacation for us. He watches all the videos, looks at all the flights, even explores the restaurants we might eat at. That makes him happy.

Figure out what your happy place is. And go there when the world gets overly stressful.

Muse Food – Mistakes

By Cynthia Sax on May 15, 2023

In North America, we often think of mistakes as a bad thing.

I’ve found, however, that some of the most beautiful, creative things come from mistakes.

Look at this image.

It was created when I dropped the phone while taking a photo.

It looks like a watercolor painting. (smiles)

Embrace your mistakes. Find the beauty in them.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – May 14

By Cynthia Sax on May 14, 2023

I barely started Intrepid Encounter, the fifth core story in the Cyborg Unity series (likely releasing in November), this week. (sheepish grin) I have a few words on the screen. I don’t know if I’ll keep them or if it is the right place to start the story.

This is normal for me. The first two chapters (one from the hero’s point of view, one from the heroine’s point of view) are the most difficult for me to craft. There is always quite a bit of writing and then deleting.

Strive For Forever, the fourth core story in the Cyborg Unity series, is with my Awesome Editor. I expect to get first round of edits back by the end of the month. Ohhhh…I hope she likes it!

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Get a little bit silly this week. Watch a goofy video. Tell a terrible joke. Make cookies in the shape of dancing cows. Have fun. You deserve it!

My eBooks Are Available On Kobo Plus!

By Cynthia Sax on May 13, 2023

All of my cyborg and alien romances (and most of my contemporary romances) are now available through Kobo Plus, Kobo’s subscription service! Woot!

That means, if you have Kobo Plus, you can read all those stories at no additional cost.

One of the things I love about Kobo Plus is it doesn’t demand exclusivity. My eBooks can still be available everywhere else, including public libraries (librarians will usually order my eBooks if you ask them to do that).

Kindle Unlimited, in contrast, demands exclusivity. I couldn’t work with libraries or Apple or Kobo or other booksellers. That’s why my eBooks aren’t, as of now, enrolled in that program. I will ALWAYS support libraries.
