Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – August 23rd

By Cynthia Sax on August 23, 2020

Today, I’m working on the second round edits for Warlord’s Return, the next and the final story in the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series (releasing in November).

It is bittersweet working on these edits. I’m excited that you and other reading buddies will be returning with me to the Refuge, seeing Kralj, Dita and the other Modified Humanoids again, but I’m always sad to end a series. This is extra challenging as I will be stepping away from the Alien Romance Continuum for a while to focus on the cyborgs (but I’m SUPER stoked to be writing those stories).

This week, I’ll be taking a break from the fresh writing and revising some of the short stories for the next C.S. Sax collection. This next collection will focus on medieval dragon shifters also.

I was telling a writing buddy about my plans and she made a comment on how I must think medieval dragon shifters will be ‘hot’ in 2021.

I have NO clue about what will be the hot trends in Romance. None. (laughs)

If I HAD to guess, I would say vampires will make a big comeback in Paranormal Romance and light, happy alien romance premises like mail order brides will be popular in SciFi Romance. I’ll put this in writing and, at the end of 2021 (if I remember), we’ll determine if I was right. That will be fun.

I’m releasing collections of medieval dragon shifter stories because I’ve written quite a few of those stories for myself over the years. I love medieval dragon shifters.

I’m focusing on cyborgs next year because I’m eager to find out what happens in Power’s story and that requires writing the four other stories in the subseries first. I CAN’T WAIT to write the first story in the Rebel Cyborgs subseries. That story has been drumming at my brain for months.

If you’re a writing buddy, please don’t build your career around what I’m writing next. I have no insights on the future of Romance. I merely write what I want to write and release stories I think you might enjoy.

Testing Truth

A fun-loving cyborg gets serious about love.

***

Truth lives each moment as though it were his last. The cyborg warrior rushes into danger, teases beings he shouldn’t provoke, accepts every call of adventure he encounters.

When a prissy little human princess floats into the Rebel structure Truth is occupying, seeking a mercenary to assist her and her unusual entourage, he volunteers to be her warrior. She claims their assignment is dangerous, warns him he might not survive the task.

That is exactly the type of fun he has been seeking.

Princess Nanette of the planet Royaume must rescue her estranged brother from an enemy prison ship. That is her duty, and she has been trained to always place the needs of her planet and her subjects before her own. Nancy doesn’t have the freedom to indulge her passions for a certain dark-haired, gray-skinned cyborg. Not permanently and not publicly.

But she is unable to resist the warrior. Truth, with his laughing eyes, smiling lips, and rough hands, tempts her as no one else ever has. He could be her one fleeting act of rebellion before she’s matched with the powerful ruler her planet requires.

If they survive their current mission.

Their love is doomed. Their lifespans are at risk. This cyborg and his princess will need the help of every ally they have if they wish to see another sunrise.
