Why I Read SciFi Romance
I’m talking about why I love SciFi Romance at Imogene Nix’s online home!
http://www.imogenenix.net/the-blog/have-you-considered-trying-why-you-should-try-new-romance-genres
Here’s a snippet…
“Then there’s the blowing up of spaceships and planets. Nothing is more relaxing after a long stressful day than fictional destruction. (grins) I can’t think of another subgenre that allows a reader to experience a planet being blasted to bits. A hero killing a baddie is satisfying. Sure. A hero killing and EATING his enemies (as Kralj does in Dark Thoughts) is glorious.”

Can love redeem a monster?
The Refuge is home to some of the most violent beings in the universe. Kralj, its leader, reigns over the remote outpost with terrifying ease, ruthlessly squashing any rumors of rebellion, killing anyone who breaks his rules. Primitive, deadly, powerful, he’s a monster, scarred both on his face and his soul. He has never met a being he couldn’t control.
Until he meets her.
Dita has one mission—to kill the three targets claiming sanctuary within the Refuge. Or so she claims. For the first time in his long lifespan, Kralj isn’t certain of another being’s intentions. The tiny assassin is immune to his powers, her thoughts unreadable. He can’t predict her movements, can’t control her, can’t stop wanting her.
Dita is rare, as unique as he is, and, to keep the residents of the Refuge safe, Kralj will have to kill her. But first, he’ll touch her, taste her, show her how passionate the beast inside him can be.
Dark Thoughts is a STAND-ALONE SciFi Romance.
The hero might be tall, dark, and scarred but don’t be fooled by his appearance.
He’s truly a monster.
This story is not for readers with delicate sensibilities.

Talking Dark Thoughts, Enemy-Eating Heroes and other Antiheroes
I’m talking about Dark Thoughts, Enemy-Eating Heroes and other Antiheroes today at Delilah Devlin’s online home.
http://www.delilahdevlin.com/blog/2017/04/05/cynthia-sax-the-appeal-of-the-romance-antihero-contest/
Here’s a snippet…
“As a romance writer, I also love the challenge of finding the perfect love interest for the antihero. Anyone could love a nice guy. What type of being would love a flawed male, a male who devours his enemies? That being is tougher to find.”

Dark Thoughts, Chameles, and The Warlord Series
I’ve received some awesome questions from reading buddies about Dark Thoughts and the Chameles. I LOVE questions. (grins)
Hulagu, the young warrior, in Dark Thoughts is a Chamele. Yes, these are the same Chameles that appeared in Warlord’s Bounty, Warlord Unarmed, Warlord Reunited and Warlord’s Mercy.
These four Warlord stories are not currently available at booksellers. There’s a great reason for this! They are being extensively revised. They will double in length. And I can now tie them into the Cyborg/Dark Thoughts world.
These Warlord stories will be re-released in 2018. Why is it taking a year? Because I want to tell the Dark Thoughts four story series first. I will also be continuing the cyborg series. The Warlord series happens AFTER the Dark Thoughts series.
I’m super excited to be able to tell these stories the way I originally wanted to tell them and to do so in order!
Note: If you’ve read the original Warlord stories, I don’t suggest buying them again when they release (in 2018). The core stories will be the same and this series won’t be needed to understand the Cyborg or Dark Thoughts series.

Dark Thoughts – Best Bet For March 2017!
Woot! Dark Thoughts is a Science Fiction Best Bet for March 2017!
http://www.heroesandheartbreakers.com/blogs/2017/03/science-fiction-romance-best-bets-for-march-2017
Here’s a snippet…
“I felt that the author really leveled up from previous novels in her treatment of the main characters in this book – so complex, both of them; fascinating to watch each one change in response to their feelings for the other – there’s definitely romance and an HEA ending, although bear in mind Kralj likes to eat his kills and Dita bonds with him over their mutual enjoyment of tracking down bad guys and eliminating them.”

Cynthia Sax Interviewed on USA Today Happy Ever After Blog
Woot! Veronica Scott has interviewed me today on USA Today’s Happy Ever After Blog!
http://happyeverafter.usatoday.com/2017/03/23/veronica-scott-cynthia-sax-interview-dark-thoughts/
Here’s a snippet…
Veronica: Do you have a favorite quote you’d like to share with our readers?
Cynthia: This is one of my favorite quotes from Dark Thoughts:
“You haven’t encountered any being like me.” Kralj was certain of that fact. “I’m the beast hunting you in your nightmares, the fear you feel in the dark, the prickling over the back of your neck when you think you’re alone.” He gazed down at her, fighting the urge to grab her, to sink his fangs into her pale neck. “I’m not a male you play with, little one.”
Kralj says this to Dita, the heroine, and it tells us so much about him. He believes he’s a monster, and yes, some readers might consider him to be one. But would a true monster warn his prey?
His first line — “You haven’t encountered any being like me.” — hints at his loneliness.
His last line — “I’m not a male you play with, little one.” — is a challenge he subconsciously knows, deep down in his battered soul, Dita can’t resist.
And his term of endearment for her is telling. She’s a skilled assassin, a monster in her own right, yet he calls her “little one,” the pet name communicating that he’s protective of her.

Interview With Kralj from Dark Thoughts
Kralj was interviewed on Bonnie Phelps’ blog today!
Don’t worry.
Bonnie is safe!
He tries to restrict his ‘diet’ to his enemies.
http://bonniephelpsauthor.blogspot.ca/2017/03/meet-character-interview-with-kralj.html
Here’s a snippet…
Q – Who in your life has the power to hurt you the most and why?
Kral – Dita is the one being whose thoughts I can’t read, the one being my powers can’t touch, the one being I can’t control. I want her. Badly. I lose all restraint around her and that is a very dangerous thing.

Dark Thoughts is merely the first standalone story in the Refuge series. I’m currently writing Orol’s story. The winged male might be Kralj’s second-in-command but he is all warrior. (bites fist)
Dark Sky should release in June.
There will be two other standalone stories in the series. Dark Strength will be the great green gatekeeper Balvan’s story. Dark Fire will be the silver Dracheon warrior Drake’s story.

Dark Thoughts – Dark, Slightly Twisted and So Freakin Hot
Woot! Dark Thoughts received a 5 star review from Black Feather Blogger!
Here’s a snippet…
Stunned, in awe and maybe a slight drooling issue are only some ways to describe how awesome Dark Thoughts is. Dark, slightly twisted and so freakin hot, I think I may have given my fingertips third degree burns as I swiped through the pages.

Dark Thoughts, Super Strong Beagles and Other Genetic Experiments
I’m talking about super strong beagles, sex-changing mosquitoes, Raccoon City and Dark Thoughts at Pauline Baird Jones’ online home today.
http://www.paulinebjones.com/dark-thoughts
Here’s a snippet…
Genetic experiments fascinate me (a bit too much – my Dear Wonderful Hubby teases me that I’ll be the person to accidentally create a real life Raccoon City). I wanted to explore the results of the early Humanoid Alliance experiments, meet the beings created. What would they look like? What abilities would they have? WHY were those experiments cancelled? What happened to these warriors?
