Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – October 10th

By Cynthia Sax on October 10, 2021

I started writing Seizing Power, the fifth and final core story in the Rebel Cyborgs subseries (releasing in February), this week and I already love it. This story will be explosive. (grins) Power and Cadet/Eirene Ours have a tension-filled history and so much heated emotion to conquer. They will have to fight for their happy ever after and for the safety of the cyborgs’ Homeland.

This upcoming week will be spent writing more first draft chapters on Seizing Power. It is also Thanksgiving in Canada on Monday so I will be eating turkey and pumpkin pie with the Dear Wonderful Hubby. As many folks in my corner of the universe are still being careful, there won’t be any big family jams…or any outside the immediate household dinners at all. But there will be some awesome phone conversations, laughs and great food.

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Call a loved one if you’re able. Read a steamy romance. Look up at the stars if you get the chance to do that. We are all part of the universe and I think that’s awe-inspiring.

B Free

B is the last remaining B Model cyborg. All of his brethren, the beings he trained with, fought with, cared deeply for, have perished.

Or so he believes.

When he intercepts a communication mentioning the existence of one of his kind, he has to investigate its source. The message could be a trap set by his enemies. He’ll take that risk if it secures him the companionship he requires to be fully functional.

What he finds is a daring brown-eyed female who activates all his systems. She proudly proclaims she’s a researcher, brandishing that information like a weapon before her. He wants to kiss the sass off her beautiful face, protect her from the dangers around them, claim her forever.

Quinn is on a quest to locate the mechanics of an early-version cyborg. She believes the information captured within that frame will give her valuable insights into the past.

When her mission goes zombie-like beings levels of wrong, she comes face-to-face with a living, breathing B Model. He has big hands, a primitive countenance, and stern hard lips crafted for kissing.

She doesn’t trust him. And she doesn’t have time to indulge her desires.

Their shared enemies are chasing them, would kill to get their precious specimens back. One minor mistake could reduce B and Quinn to a mere line in the databases of history.

B Free And The Hezen Language

By Cynthia Sax on October 9, 2021

Some of the first scenes of B Free, the fourth core story in the Rebel Cyborgs series (releasing in November), are set on Heze 478, a planet controlled by the Humanoid Alliance.

The Hezens, the locals on the planet, have their own language. It is roughly based on the Czech language here on Earth. (I adhere to the Common Ancestor theory. Humanoids share an ancestor with humans and it is logical that languages would be similar.)

The name of Quinn’s Hezen contact, Pomoc, for example, translates to Help or Helper.

Reemerging From The Pandemic Cave

By Cynthia Sax on October 6, 2021

Last week, the Dear Wonderful Hubby went to dinner with clients for the first time since the pandemic began. Everyone in the restaurant was fully vaxxed (that’s the law in our city).

He is also attending his first post pandemic conference this month in Vegas, will be answering questions (masked) in his employer’s booth. Everyone at the conference should be fully vaxxed. Booth workers will be tested every morning.

It has been a long time since we enjoyed face-to-face meetings. I feel like one of the cyborgs emerging from an underground laboratory after many human lifespans of seclusion. Everything feels new. The sun is a bit too bright. (grins) We have to relearn the world.

But I’m also excited. There are more possibilities. Anything (preferably positive) could happen.

B Free And Heze 478

By Cynthia Sax on October 5, 2021

When we first meet Quinn, the heroine of B Free, the fourth core story in the Rebel Cyborgs series (releasing in November), she is positioned on Heze 478, a planet that has been invaded by the Humanoid Alliance and is doomed to be the site of one of their horrendous experiments.

Heze 478 is named after Heze, also known as Zeta Virginis A. Heze is one half of a binary star situated about 74 light-years from Earth’s sun. It is approximately double the size of our sun and is roughly half a billion years old.

B Free And Beings For Peace

By Cynthia Sax on October 4, 2021

The organization Beings For Peace makes a reappearance in B Free, the fourth core story in the Rebel Cyborgs series (releasing in November).

Beings For Peace was first mentioned in Crash And Burn. It was the organization Safyre, Tifara, and Nymphia were aligned with.

Beings For Peace is focused on rescuing beings from planets invaded by the Humanoid Alliance and other aggressors. They try to be as non-violent as possible but they WILL kill to achieve their missions.

Quinn, the heroine of B Free, reaches out to Beings For Peace for assistance with a problem. The operative they send is…well…he makes me smile (and he is very much NOT the love interest).

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – October 3rd

By Cynthia Sax on October 3, 2021

Needing Valor, this year’s thank you short story (releasing in December), has been sent to my Awesome Editor! Woot! I think you’ll love this fun sexy tale. There are ‘ghosts’, an explosion, some jokes, steamy scenes. Thinking about Needing Valor makes me smile.

This upcoming week, I start writing Seizing Power, the fifth core story in the Rebel Cyborgs series (releasing in February)! I’ve been looking forward to telling this story for years, was forced to wait to do that because other events in the cyborg world had to happen first. I’m silly excited about this.

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (tackle hugs) Try to slow down a bit if you can. Time flies so quickly. Enjoy every moment of this magnificent life and be kind to yourself. Never doubt that you’re amazeballs because you ARE!

B Free, Researcher/Archaeologist Heroines And Indiana Jones

By Cynthia Sax on October 2, 2021

I originally believed Quinn, the heroine of B Free (releasing in November), was an Archaeologist.

But an Archaeologist, according to Dictionary.com, is “a specialist in archaeology, the scientific study of prehistoric peoples and their cultures by analysis of their artifacts, inscriptions, monuments, etc.”

Peoples are defined as humans. Quinn studies ancient humans AND humanoids situated on numerous planets across the universe (her focus is dead civilizations).

I changed her role to Researcher. That gives her some flexibility over who she studies and how she studies them.

In my heart, however, I still view her as a more socially aware, futuristic, female Indiana Jones. (grins)

Talking Cyborgs and Missions With Diane Burton

By Cynthia Sax on October 1, 2015

I’m talking about different types of missions at Diane Burton’s online home today.

http://dianeburton.blogspot.ca/2015/10/cynthia-sax-on-cyborgs-socialites-and.html

Here’s a snippet…

I LOVE reading, writing or watching stories/movies with missions, whether it’s a quest for the Holy Grail, a CIA themed thriller or a delicious SciFi romance. The characters have a purpose. They’re often going on a trip. There’s danger and twists and the constant question about whether or not they’ll be successful.

Whenever I hear the word mission, I think Mission Impossible, the Tom Cruise movies. I usually hum the theme song hopelessly off-key. I think spies and secrets and life or death situations. The action is heart pounding. The stakes are high. If they fail in their missions, the world and humanity will be in peril.

I also envision Indiana Jones and his quests to uncover archaeological treasures. Again, there’s action and secrets and thrill after thrill. The stakes are as high. The Nazis might win or a plague might take over the world or there will be some other dire consequence.

Half Man. Half Machine. All Hers.

Rage, the Humanoid Alliance’s most primitive cyborg, has two goals—kill all of the humans on his battle station and escape to the Homeland. The warrior has seen the darkness in others and in himself. He believes that’s all he’s been programmed to experience.
Until he meets Joan.

Joan, the battle station’s first female engineer, has one goal—survive long enough to help the big sexy cyborg plotting to kill her. Rage might not trust her but he wants her. She sees the passion in his eyes, the caring in his battle-worn hands, the gruff emotion in his voice.

When Joan survives the unthinkable, Rage’s priorities are tested. Is there enough room in this cyborg’s heart for both love and revenge?
