Taste of Cyn

Testing Truth – A Princess Named Nancy

By Cynthia Sax on August 25, 2020

The heroine in Testing Truth, the next cyborg romance (releasing on September 15^th), is Princess Nanette of the planet Royaume. That’s her formal name, the name strangers and other royalty refer to her by, the name that is utilized on all official communications.

Her friends, her makeshift family, other loved ones call her Nancy. She is named after a dear reading buddy, Nancy R, which makes Truth’s female even nearer and dearer to my heart. I love Nancy R and I love Truth’s Princess Nancy.

(As an aside, I WILL warn you if you contact me and you have an awesome name, a name I haven’t yet utilized in a story, I will likely steal it for a future character. I’ll tell you before I do this. I have manners and sh*t. (grins) But it is a risk you take when you contact me.)

When Princess Nanette wants to be perceived as a regular being, she will introduce herself as Nancy. When she wants to put an unkind being in her or his place, she breaks out her formal name (and a super prissy attitude Truth finds extremely entertaining).

There are plenty of famous Nancys here on Earth but there are also quite a few famous Nanettes.

For example, Nanette Fabray, a Tony and three time Emmy winning actress, was also a passionate advocate for the rights of the deaf and hard-of-hearing. She was one of the first people to use sign language on TV and was one of the founding members of the National Captioning Institute.

Nanette Konig-Blitz was a holocaust survivor and a classmate of Anne Frank. She lectured and wrote about her experiences, earning a Readers’ Favorite Gold Medal Award.

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.
