Muse Food – Goats And Explaining The Impossible

By Cynthia Sax on April 22, 2024

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I watched this goat calmly walk down a sheer wall of rock. We’ve seen similar goats descend perfectly intact brick walls.

Those feats seem impossible…to us, humans. Yet they occur.

There is an explanation for why goats need very little to stand on (their hoofs are the main reason).

Writers have to provide that explanation, preferably in as few words as possible, or readers won’t be happy with our stories. Everything has to be plausible or has be explained. Even the magic in fantasy novels is based on ‘logical’ systems.

That is part of the fun. (grins)

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 – Goats And Being Somewhere Unexpected

By Cynthia Sax on August 15, 2022

I LOVE goats.

And one of the many things I love about them is…

They go where they want. Physics and gravity be d*mned.

I’ve seen them in trees, walking along a super narrow branch.

I’ve seen them standing on the side of a completely vertical wall, balancing on the tiniest edge of stone.

This goat is tramping along a steep rocky hill.

This goat is preparing to jump off a ledge (that is way higher than it appears in the photo).

When I’m working on a story, I try to be like a goat and take my characters somewhere unexpected, somewhere they likely shouldn’t be, somewhere they might not survive.

Provoking Odium

A Beautiful Cyborg

While accompanying his leader on a mission, Odium, an E Model cyborg, hears a distress call over the communication lines. The voice on that message makes his circuits surge with energy and all his systems light up. He has to respond to the mysterious female, would risk his lifespan and the lifespans of everyone on board their ship to protect her.

A Human Female Others Call Beast

Briella gained her nickname due to her flying abilities, her fearlessness, and her scarred countenance. Her verbal-only relationship with the sexy cyborg who answers her distress call is a steamy yet short-lived fantasy. His kind is physically perfect, and she is…not. He will uncover that truth when…if they survive the attack upon her freighter.


Provoking Odium is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features a human female intent on remaining mysterious, a cyborg warrior determined to uncover her identity, and an enemy seeking to destroy them both before they have the opportunity to meet.
