Muse Food – Unexpected Places

By Cynthia Sax on April 3, 2023

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spotted this HUGE spider in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

It surprised us. Not only because of its size. But also because we didn’t expect to see a spider like that on the roof of a parked car in the city center.

If we were trekking around a public garden or by the sea or by trees or vegetation, sure, we might see a spider. But what was it doing on the top of a car in a very urban setting?

Even the normal can be thrilling when it is found in an unexpected place. That’s an easy way to add excitement to a story.

Raw Desires

His human female is attempting to kill him.
This cyborg finds that adorable.

Raw, a K model cyborg, is one of the lucky warriors who has located his genetic match. He hears his human female’s voice over the communication lines and immediately processes she is his.

Winning her affections will be a greater challenge. Battle has always been Raw’s focus. The rough-and-tough warrior has no idea how to engage anyone’s tender emotions.

Fortunately, he isn’t alone in the universe. His unmatched male friends help him craft a plan.

All Raw has to do is relay a few unsettlingly sweet words to his female and give her the thoroughly unfunctional wall decoration he has obtained. He projects she will then jump into his big, strong arms and beg him to claim her.

Taytu isn’t jumping anywhere. She has one mission—kill every cyborg in existence.

The huge, handsome male traveling to meet with her is her first target. His rough hands, firm lips, and sparkling, energy-infused eyes won’t save him from her vengeance. She has trained vigorously for this moment, and she won’t fail at her assigned task.

The cyborg will die.

Raw Desires is an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

More Containers

By Cynthia Sax on December 6, 2021

These containers, displayed in the Altos de Chavon Regional Museum of Archaeology in La Romana, Dominican Republic, were likely brought to the area on ships from Spain.

I think Quinn, the heroine from B Free, would love them. She couldn’t read them as they aren’t metal but she’d find them interesting.

I loved the color of this container. It was large. I would have to use both arms to hold it.

This container was much smaller…is the size of a large beer stein. I could envision the cyborgs drinking fermented beverage out of it.

This container is about the same size as the first one. I liked the warping of it.

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.

Containers

By Cynthia Sax on November 2, 2021

I mention containers quite often in my stories…because beings everywhere have always had the need to contain things-liquids, food, objects. (grins)

These early containers, displayed in the Altos de Chavon Regional Museum of Archaeology in La Romana, Dominican Republic, served as inspiration for some of the containers Quinn studies in B Free.

This container was quite large. It could have easily held water for a family.

This container, in contrast, was quite small. It looks like a gravy boat. (grins)

This could be easily held with one hand.

This container looked to be single serving size also

This platter would be large enough to hold the roasted roots for an entire family in one of my stories.

As per the sign…

“Chicoid Ceramics 800-1500 A.D.

Chicoid pottery is a product of the mixture of ceramic styles of the previous period. It originated on the island of Santo Domingo and from there spread to the current territories of Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Bahamas.

The objects show a high degree of craftmanship, with a variety of receptacle decorated with geometric motifs and animal forms.

Bowls with handles decorated with bat an owl faces are very common in Taino ceramics from the eastern region of the island of Santo Domingo.”
