Valentine’s Day Cards From Cyborgs And Other Warriors
My weekly update will be delayed by a day because…
Today is Valentine’s Day!
Woot!
Every year, I ask the cyborgs, the modified humanoids and the Chameles if they wish to share a Valentine’s Day poem with you.
They don’t quite understand the meaning of the holiday. (grins) But I thought you might enjoy their attempts.
Here’s one from Truth…
Truth loves his human princess.
They share a link.
For her, he’d do anything
Even wear pink.
***
Here is an…interesting one from Cadet…
The universe is huge.
The size of space is vast.
When Cadet meets Power,
She’ll kick his a$$.
***
Here are some past poems…
Roses Are Red.
Cyborgs Are Strong.
Choosing One As Your Warrior
Can Never Be Wrong.
Roses are red.
Gatekeepers are green.
Balvan is the biggest male
You have ever seen.
Roses are red.
Rulers don’t rhyme.
If you expect a poem from Kralj,
You’ll be waiting a long time.
***
(grins) Not everyone was happy with the request.
Have a wonderful day, my friends!
Know that you are much loved.

Containing Malice
This tormented cyborg craves vengeance…and her.
***
Malice, a C Model cyborg, has spent his long lifespan enslaved by the Humanoid Alliance. His cruel manufacturers have hurt him in all the ways a male could be hurt.
His enemy has now added a new weapon to their arsenal—a tiny human medic with soft hands and a delectable scent. She experiments on him multiple times a shift, delivering pain…and frustration.
He wants her. He also seeks retribution.
Once Malice frees himself, he plans to achieve both of his goals, taking Medic Illona captive and ending her research…permanently.
Illona is as much a prisoner as the cyborgs she experiments on. Since her arrival at the Human Alliance’s secret laboratory, she has carefully, stealthily, crafted a plot to free her test subjects. To conceal her covert activities, the medic has been forced to harm beings rather than heal them.
The being she has damaged the most is also the cyborg she fiercely desires— Malice, a huge, gray-skinned, blue-eyed C Model with massive hands and a voice deeper than space. He hates her, has good reason to do so, and, when he’s freed, there’s a high probability he’ll kill her.
Illona will take that risk to ensure he survives.
***
Containing Malice is a STANDALONE enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It is the first of five core stories in the Rebel Cyborgs Series.

Writing Weekends
I receive quite a few awesome questions about my schedule. One of the major misconceptions is, as an established writer (i.e. a writer with numerous books released and years of publishing behind me), I must take weekends off.
(laughs until my stomach hurts)
That is a big nope.
My Dear Wonderful Hubby currently has a fairly traditional job schedule. When I first met him, he was working three jobs. Right now, he works one job Monday to Friday (the hours are long, however).
I’ve never not worked on the weekends. Reader promotional events (all virtual for me) often happen on Saturdays and Sundays. I love to attend these get-togethers, be part of the happy chaos in Romancelandia.
When I was a full-time business babe, in addition to being a writer, the weekend was also my primary time for fresh writing. Saturdays and Sundays would often be longer workdays than my weekdays.
Writing is a lot of fun, is one of the best jobs on the planet, but it still requires showing up, completing tasks, being semi-awake. (laughs)
Now that I write full-time, my weekends are a bit more relaxed. The marketing part stays the same, as does the business part, but I usually cut my writing/revising schedule in half. That gives me more awesome time for reading and goofing around with the Dear Wonderful Hubby.
This is the schedule I need now to do all the things I want to do. Other writers take weekends off writing/revising. Or they might work harder on weekends.
I don’t know many established writers, however, that don’t do anything writing/publishing related on the weekends. As I mentioned, that is often when reader events happen.
If you’re writing this weekend, know that you’re not alone.

Containing Malice, Under Strain And The Rest Of The Series
I’ve received some awesome messages from reading buddies asking me when the rest of the Rebel Cyborgs series will be available for pre-order.
First, THANK YOU. The excitement you have for this series feeds my enthusiasm about it and that is such a blast for any writer. A pre-order is also an act of trust. You trust that I will give you a great story. And I would never knowingly betray that trust.
Which is why I don’t yet have the other stories available for pre-order.
Under Strain can be pre-ordered. I’ve completed the first (of three or more) rounds of revisions on this second story (releasing in May). My Awesome Editor is excited about this story, which gives me confidence you’ll enjoy it also.
I’m hopefully starting Baring Grudge next week (the first scene is in my head right now and it is AWESOME). It isn’t anywhere near the stage where I can say it is worthy of your pre-order. I suspect it will be a great story but I don’t like to list stories at booksellers until I have, at the very least, written the first draft. That should happen by the end of March.
Again, THANK YOU for your excitement around this series. It makes me so very happy.

Containing Malice And Conflict From Within
The primary conflict in the Rebel Cyborgs series is between the Rebel Cyborgs and the Cyborg Council or, more specifically, between Cadet and Power, two extremely strong-willed beings.
Cadet feels their top priority should be rescuing the cyborgs who were left behind during the mass rebellion. She has both public and private reasons for viewing this as their number one mission.
Power is dealing with an overly crowded Homeland and millions of bored warriors (which is NEVER a good situation – grins). He has other priorities. He also has private (heart-twisting) reasons for not wanting to send crews of freed warriors to rescue their still captured and controlled brethren.
Power, although the arrogant a$$ acts otherwise, isn’t a perfect being or a perfect leader. He SHOULD have some push back on his decisions. There SHOULD be some conflict between him and others. That’s good and healthy and needed.
It does create tension within the cyborg forces, however.
There are other sources of conflict. The Humanoid Alliance, although currently in shambles, is still out there. They remain a threat to the cyborgs and they are plotting not-so-good things, bringing warriors back from the dead and working on equally horrifying projects.
But, in the Rebel Cyborgs series, the big conflict is cyborg-centric.
It will be explosive. (grins)

Containing Malice And Reader Feedback
I read all the messages I receive from reading buddies. Some writers have assistants. I don’t have one. I look at everything myself.
Unless the message is a death threat or something similar, I try to respond to every message.
If you don’t receive a message from me, it is likely because an email service, either mine or yours, in their great wisdom (<–extreme sarcasm), decided either to not deliver your original message to me or to not deliver my reply to you. (shakes head) That unfortunately happens…quite often, especially with Gmail.
I LOVE questions and other feedback about stories. If you have a question or concern, there is a good chance other reading buddies have the same question or concern. Sometimes I’ll answer that question or address that concern on this blog, in addition to responding to you directly. That sharing benefits everyone.
I also often tweak my writing a bit to decrease confusion in future stories.
In Containing Malice, for example, some reading buddies were unsettled that Illona didn’t have a conversation with Malice about her Humanoid Alliance-caused illness, about their experiments on her. They’re right. That communication should have happened. In the future, I’ll ensure couples (or more) have conversations about important things like that.
I want to give you the best story I possibly can. (big hugs) That’s super important to me. And your feedback allows me to do this.
Thank you so much!

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – February 7th
Containing Malice released this week! Woot! I’m so glad many reading buddies are enjoying this story. I feel for Malice. He is hurting badly at the beginning of his story. I wanted to give him a big hug. And Illona…my heart went out to her. They both deserve love so very much.
I also managed to complete revisions for the phoenix shifter hero story this week. This is the second story of three in the Medieval Beast Shifters collection (releasing likely at the end of March under C.S. Sax).
Under Strain, the second story in the Rebel Cyborgs series (releasing in May), has returned from my Awesome Editor. She loves it! Woot! There is much to work on. There always is. (sheepish grin). But the core story is strong and I hope to finish the first round of revisions by end of day tomorrow and send it back to her.
Then I’ll focus on the third and final story in the Medieval Beast Shifters collection. This one features a griffin shifter hero. (grins) All these stories are so much fun!
I hope you all are doing well and are finding some terrific stories to read. (group hugs) My To Be Read virtual pile would reach the ceiling if it were in print book format. I LOVE it like that. It makes me happy knowing I have plenty of books to read (I DO read them, merely not as quickly as I buy new books).

Containing Malice And Writing The Next Story
Some reading buddies have asked me why I’m revising the short(er) stories for a C.S. collection (Medieval Beasts, likely releasing at the end of March) and not diving right into the next story in the Rebel Cyborgs series.
Under Strain, Book 2 in the series, has already been written. It is now with my Awesome Editor. She’s likely looking at it as I’m typing this and plans to return it to me in a week or so.
All the stories in the Rebel Cyborgs series are standalones. They can be read on their own. But they also build. What happened in Containing Malice will change what happens in Under Strain. What happens in Under Strain will change what happens in Baring Grudge.
It is ideal that I wait until my Awesome Editor has given me her insights on Under Strain before I start Baring Grudge. Rewriting to incorporate major changes usually takes longer for me than waiting and, for me, it often weakens the story. I want to give you the best stories I can craft.
So I’m waiting.
My brain also needs a vacation between cyborg stories. The cyborg stories take SO much out of me creatively and emotionally. I LOVE that but I also need a break.
The short stories give me that break. They are short (grins) and light and they are set in a completely different world in a completely different niche of romance.
Other writers have their own processes. We all do what works for us and this schedule is working for me at the moment.
I’m excited about Under Strain. I think you’ll really enjoy this story. And I’m stoked about the scenes I’ve envisioned for Baring Grudge. I think you’ll be excited about that story also.

Containing Malice And Valor
Some reading buddies (tackle hugs) have asked me if we will have Valor’s story. Valor is the being-loving, super protective E Model best buddy of Malice. He wants love. Yes. But he wants to give love even more.
His story WILL be told. I merely haven’t figured out when or how. His story could be the free short story in December. Or he could have a longer story in an upcoming series. Or his could be a secondary romance in some other cyborg’s main story. I don’t know.
Why don’t I know?
Because it hasn’t ‘happened’ yet. He hasn’t met his female. I don’t know if she has a big story or a long story. I can’t yet ‘see’ it in my head.
Until I ‘see’ it, I won’t know.
But I DO know his story will happen. He deserves love…as we all do.

Containing Malice
This tormented cyborg craves vengeance…and her.
***
Malice, a C Model cyborg, has spent his long lifespan enslaved by the Humanoid Alliance. His cruel manufacturers have hurt him in all the ways a male could be hurt.
His enemy has now added a new weapon to their arsenal—a tiny human medic with soft hands and a delectable scent. She experiments on him multiple times a shift, delivering pain…and frustration.
He wants her. He also seeks retribution.
Once Malice frees himself, he plans to achieve both of his goals, taking Medic Illona captive and ending her research…permanently.
Illona is as much a prisoner as the cyborgs she experiments on. Since her arrival at the Human Alliance’s secret laboratory, she has carefully, stealthily, crafted a plot to free her test subjects. To conceal her covert activities, the medic has been forced to harm beings rather than heal them.
The being she has damaged the most is also the cyborg she fiercely desires— Malice, a huge, gray-skinned, blue-eyed C Model with massive hands and a voice deeper than space. He hates her, has good reason to do so, and, when he’s freed, there’s a high probability he’ll kill her.
Illona will take that risk to ensure he survives.
