A Party In The Garden

By Cynthia Sax on August 20, 2024

The squirrels ravaged one of our largest (golf ball sized) sugar baby watermelons.

(The squirrels weren’t thirsty because it has been raining every dang day. And they certainly weren’t hungry. I suspect they were curious.)

So we have placed the remaining watermelons, the butternut squashes and one massive tomato in organza bags.

According to YouTube gardening experts, that should stop the critters. And we’re still able to see the baby produce as they grow.

The organza bags make our garden look like a party, however. (grins)

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.

The Garden Is Winding Down

By Cynthia Sax on August 30, 2023

My part of the world has been experiencing significant below seasonal temperatures.

The plants in the garden plus the trees, the insects, the birds and other life, believe it is November or late Autumn/Fall. They are slowing down or, in the case of the watermelon, stopping growth. Leaves are turning yellow or orange or red. They’re ready for a break.

We have enough tomatoes on the vines to supply us for the year. Once they turn red, we’ll cut them up and freeze them.

We only got 2 bell peppers from our gazillion plants this year. But that’s okay. We’ll buy a box from a local farmer, cut those bell peppers up and freeze them also.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby’s dream of his own watermelon patch will have to wait to come true next year. (smiles) That will give us a challenge in 2024.

Strive For Forever


This cyborg seeks to vanquish an ancient entity and save his curvy human female.

Euryale made a terrible mistake. She opened a container she shouldn’t have touched and released one of the oldest lifeforms in existence. That all-powerful entity is now utilizing her as its host body and is slowly draining her energy.

Soon, she’ll die.

Euryale has accepted this fate and is determined to use her remaining moments in the universe to save as many lives as she can.

Her plans do NOT include a smoldering-hot, poetry-wielding cyborg willing to decimate entire planets to save her.

While under the control of the Humanoid Alliance, Strive, a K Model cyborg, disobeyed direct orders and refused to kill on their behalf. If he hadn’t escaped their cruel clutches, his defiance would have led to his death.

The male knowingly risked that fate to save the lifespans of complete strangers.

There is nothing he wouldn’t do to protect Euryale. The curvy human female is his genetic match, the one being he is destined to defend.

And she is in danger.

Strive would break every vow, cross every boundary, risk absolutely everything to keep her from harm.

Including battle a deity no one has ever defeated.

Strive For Forever is Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features an inspired cyborg, a joke-cracking scientist, and an all-powerful deity with plans of his own.

Update On The Watermelon Patch

By Cynthia Sax on August 22, 2023

One of the Dear Wonderful Hubby’s dreams is to have his very own watermelon patch.

Watermelon is SUPER difficult to grow, especially in our part of the universe. Watermelon is a desert plant and our neighborhood is cool and damp especially this year.

But we currently have a watermelon on the vine! (The photo above is of a different one.) It is currently the size of a golf ball.

It is a Sugar Baby, one of the smaller round watermelons, and we’re hoping it will ripen before the cooler weather arrives.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby’s watermelon dreams are closer to coming true!
