Raw Desires And Speaking Another Language

By Cynthia Sax on March 3, 2023

In the first chapter of Raw Desires, Eirene Ours aka Cadet arrives on Taytu’s home planet.

The leader of the Rebel Cyborgs tries to speak our heroine’s language. She doesn’t use contractions or sentence fragments. Her chatter is extremely stiff and formal.

Because Eirene Ours learned the language from the databases, not from the locals.

When I learned French in school, I was taught very formal Parisian French. It wasn’t the Quebecois street slang we used outside of school. The two versions of French were extremely different and often communication issues would happen due to these differences.

Language evolves quicker than textbooks and databases can match. I keep that in mind when I travel and when I write characters from different cultures.

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.

March, Spring And Gardening

By Cynthia Sax on March 1, 2023

The first day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere is March 20th. But, in my section of the hemisphere, the last frost date has been May 11th at the earliest.

What will be the last frost date this year? I don’t know. If I had to guess, I would say earlier than May 11th. Climate change has been hitting us hard. We had more rain than snow over the winter. It was…bizarre.

I won’t be planting much until May 11th, however, just to be cautious.

Before that date, I’ll be working on improving the soil. I’ll turn the leaf mulch and the compost, spread some manure, making the worms and insects happy.

The dandelions are already flowering, which is great for the bumblebees when they emerge from their underground homes. They’ll have a source of food.

There is much to do before planting and that gives me joy.

Raw Desires And Do Stories Ever Truly End

By Cynthia Sax on February 28, 2023

VERY mild spoiler alert for Raw Desires!

At the end of Raw Desires, Raw, Taytu and Strive decide to visit Grin and Mohini on their new home planet.

Some reading buddies are calling this a cliffhanger because Raw and Taytu don’t know what is happening with Grin and Mohini and why their friends want them to visit.

I don’t really see this as a cliffhanger, especially as readers who have read Grin And Bare Him, the previous story, know exactly what is happening on Grin and Mohini’s new home planet. We know why Grin thinks those activities would interest Raw.

And I also believe stories don’t truly ever end. The characters aren’t frozen in time. They continue to live their lives. Things happen.

In the cyborg universe, the Humanoid Alliance is always planning something. The baddies remain out there, doing bad things.

The couple (or more) find their romantic happy ever after but their stories don’t ever truly end.

Muse Food – AI Sketchers

By Cynthia Sax on February 27, 2023

Why do robots and other manufactured entities often resemble humans?

At the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas this year, the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I, for example, spotted this sketching robot manufactured by Xorbis.

People sat for the robot and the robot sketched them. It was very good at capturing its subject’s features and expressions.

And it had a VERY human-looking face.

I asked one of the designers why it had a human-looking face and he said it made people more comfortable.

We, humans, like being around entities who look like us.

I suspect that won’t change in the future.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – February 26th

By Cynthia Sax on February 26, 2023

The big news this past week was, of course, the release of Raw Desires. (tackle hugs) Thank you all so much for the wonderful feedback on this story. I’m extremely grateful for all of you.

I can’t WAIT for you to read Strive For Forever, the fourth story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in July).

The writing of the first draft will be put on hold this week, however, as I am taking the next 7 days off writing-wise.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby has been working for a huge tech company. As you have likely heard, the tech companies are going through…things. It has been very stressful for the Dear Wonderful Hubby. He needs some extra love and I have plenty to give. (grins)

Have an awesome week, my friends! (more hugs) Take it easy also. Feel the sun on your (protected) face. Buy some discounted Valentine’s Day candy. Tell the people, fur babies, plants in your life you love them. Send joy into the universe!

Raw Desires And Next Stories

By Cynthia Sax on February 25, 2023

It makes me so happy that many of you are enjoying Raw Desires. (tackle hugs) Raw is a special warrior. He struggled with his place in the universe…until he met Taytu.

The next story belongs, of course, to Strive. (grins) Our creative cyborg won’t be the sole matchless male in his group for very long. You’ve met his female already in Grin And Bare Him.

Yes. (nods) Their relationship will be extremely unique.

I can’t wait to share it with you!

Raw Desires – Are Character Beliefs My Beliefs?

By Cynthia Sax on February 24, 2023

Some readers believe that the beliefs held by characters are truly the writer’s beliefs.

I’ve written so many different characters that I HOPE you realize that isn’t true for me. (grins) I don’t believe, for example, that we should literally eat our enemies. That belief belongs 100% to Kralj from Dark Thoughts.

And I don’t believe in forgiving everyone as Taytu’s Mom from Raw Desires does.

I’m quite vengeful and unrepentant about that. (laughs) When anyone harms the Dear Wonderful Hubby, I want to burn down the entire world.

But I know people who try to forgive everyone.

Awesome Mom-In-Law is like that. She forgives people and then she forgets those people. She has moved on with her life while I continue to plot badness.

Forgiving people exist. Yep, that shocks me too! (grins)

Muse Food – Saddle Bronc Halters

By Cynthia Sax on February 20, 2023

As we wait for Raw Desires, the third story in the Cyborg Unity, to release (tonight if you’ve pre-ordered this story), I thought I’d distract myself by talking about saddle bronc halters.

Yep. (grins) Saddle bronc halters.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spotted this fantastic display of saddle bronc halters at South Point Casino in Vegas.

There were SO many of them.

And they all serve the same purpose. They serve as a means for the rider to hold onto the bucking horse (via a bronc rein that attaches to the halter).

Yet look at how different they are!

Whenever I worry about the cyborg warriors or the alien planets or the Humanoid Alliance baddies becoming too much alike, I can look at these saddle bronc halters and remind myself there are a gazillion ways to make them unique.
