The Power Of The Sphere

By Cynthia Sax on January 12, 2022

Spheres appear often in ancient cultures.

Here are some spheres found in displayed in the Altos de Chavon Regional Museum of Archaeology in La Romana, Dominican Republic.

As per the sign…

“Burial Practices

The hunter-gatherer-fisher groups known as Ciboney used caves and concheros-mounds of seashells-to deposit bundles of human bones.

The bones, which were cleansed and painted with red ochre, were placed in these sites a good while after the deaths of the individuals, suggesting that time and effort were dedicated to this practice.

The Ciboney also made stone spheres to deposit next to the bones as funerary offerings.”

Seizing Power

This cyborg believes he’s in control.

Power is the self-appointed leader of the cyborg council. Other members might debate situations. He makes the ultimate decisions.

The plan Power derives is simple—he’ll quickly quash the uprising and teach its leader a lesson the warrior will never forget.

NO ONE challenges his authority.

Eirene Ours might have been called a cadet by Power but she is NOT his subordinate. She is the arrogant E Model’s genetic match.

For much of her mature lifespan, she has desired the male, yearning for his dark-eyed gaze, craving his sure hands, longing for his respect.

That esteem was never granted. And Eirene Ours can no longer wait to earn it. There’s an external threat to their kind, a danger that might destroy them all.

The future of every cyborg is at stake. She can’t fail them.

Power will believe her. Or he will die.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby And Interpretive Dance

By Cynthia Sax on January 11, 2022

This gorgeous photo was taken by ivanovgood and was obtained through BookBrush

Many people, upon making their first acquaintance with the Dear Wonderful Hubby, think he’s a serious guy. I saw the twinkle in his eyes and suspected he was far from serious. (grins)

Yesterday, I asked him how his day was going.

He shuffled to the right, shuffled to the left, threw up his hands.

I grinned at him. “You’re answering in interpretive dance?”

He grinned back at me. “It appears so.”

I tilted my head to the side, thought about his dance moves. “Your day is going sideways.”

“That’s exactly it.” He laughed.

Some days go sideways and no progress is made. But that’s okay, especially if we can laugh about it.

Seizing Power And Eirene Ours’ Name

By Cynthia Sax on January 10, 2022

Eirene Ours aka Cadet, the heroine of Seizing Power, is the daughter of Ghost, a severely damaged C Model, and Lethe, his courageous human female.

Eirene Ours’ name is a nod to both of them.

Ours is one of the few words Ghost can say and it signals her relationship to them. She is theirs. Eirene Ours is also a genetic match for a cyborg warrior (Power) and would read as ‘Ours’ in Ghost’s processors.

Eirene was one of the Horae in Greek mythology. She was the personification of Peace, which is very fitting for a child of two warriors.

Lethe was a nod to the river of forgetfulness, one of the five rivers in the Greek Underworld. Everyone who drank from it forgot all their troubles and…well…everything else. So Eirene Ours’ name is connected to her mother’s name through Greek mythology.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – January 9th

By Cynthia Sax on January 9, 2022

I’m still working away on the first draft of Provoking Odium, the first story in the new cyborg series (releasing in June). I can’t wait to find out what happens next in it!

Seizing Power, the fifth story in the Rebel Cyborgs series (releasing in February), is almost ready to go. I have to read it over one more time and then send it to my Awesome Formatter (now the Dear Wonderful Hubby). It should be loaded to booksellers in plenty of time for them to prep the files for release day.

Seizing Power And Size Differences

By Cynthia Sax on January 8, 2022

Eirene Ours aka Cadet, the heroine of Seizing Power (releasing in February), is a C Model cyborg female. Power, the hero, is a later E Model cyborg male.

Cyborgs, as they evolved, became smaller, similar to how computers have become smaller over the solar cycles. The first computers were huge. Today’s computers fit in our pockets and have much more processing power. Cyborg technology followed the same progression.

C Models are MUCH taller and broader than E Models.

Eirene Ours is taller than Power is.

Seizing Power And Female Cyborgs

By Cynthia Sax on January 7, 2022

Eirene Ours aka Cadet, the heroine of Seizing Power, is a female cyborg.

She isn’t the first female cyborg we’ve encountered. Female cyborgs were manufactured by the Humanoid Alliance’s failed breeding programs. Some of them survived that disaster, escaped their fabricators.

These female cyborgs are technically C Models like Eirene Ours is. But their body shape isn’t identical to hers. They were manufactured, designed in the images of what humans thought female cyborgs should look like.

Sky, the female cyborg we meet in Releasing Rage is described by Joan.

***

A female cyborg sauntered toward them, her barely there hips swaying. She was tall with high firm breasts and a waist Joan would kill for. Her skin was the lightest shade of gray, her hair long and black, her eyes brilliant blue.

***

Eirene Ours, in contrast, is the child of Ghost, a male C Model cyborg, and Lethe, a human female. Ghost’s genetics are dominant and that reflects in Eirene Ours’ appearance.

She is sturdy, large all over. Her shoulders are wide. Her hips are generous. Her waist is solid. She has the gray skin, black hair, brilliant blue eyes of her kind but her features are stronger than her manufactured counterparts are.

Eirene Ours is truly one of a kind.

Does Power Know He’s An Arrogant A$$?

By Cynthia Sax on January 5, 2022

A reading buddy asked me if Power, the leader of the Cyborg Council and the hero of Seizing Power (releasing in February), is aware how he’s perceived by his fellow cyborgs.

Does he know he’s an arrogant a$$?

Power is a highly intelligent warrior. He realizes other cyborgs don’t like him. He is fully aware they don’t perceive him as being their friend or even their ally.

So why doesn’t he change?

Because that perception works for him. He believes distance between himself and the other cyborgs is necessary to be a good leader. His past, he believes, has proven that to be true.

Seizing Power And Learning From Others

By Cynthia Sax on January 4, 2022

Eirene Ours/Cadet, the heroine from Seizing Power (releasing in February), is a leader.

She was fortunate to have her parents, Ghost and Lethe, as mentors. Ghost isn’t a savvy communicator (grins) but he knows battle strategy. Lethe had mentors skilled in leaders to guide her. (Her mentors included including Carys, the heroine from Hers To Command.)

Eirene Ours has also learned leadership, what to do and what not to do, from research and from watching the footage saved in the cyborgs’ shared databases. Some of that footage was of Power.

Yes. (grins) Eirene Ours learned leadership from her opponent. She has also studied his battle tactics.

Power is about to be surprised and I can’t wait for that to happen! He needs something or someone to shake him out of his smugness. I suspect Eirene Ours will be that being.

Seizing Power And How Long Should We Wait For Love

By Cynthia Sax on January 3, 2022

Eirene Ours (also known as Cadet), the heroine of Seizing Power (releasing in February), has known Power is her genetic match for solar cycles, since she was newly manufactured.

She wants him to view her as his equal, to respect her for her processors, her mind, her ideas, her character. Determined to realize that dream, she has delayed revealing her full identity until Power perceives her that way.

But Power, as we all know (grins), is an arrogant a$$ and he continues to view her as a cadet, as a junior warrior, his subordinate.

Eirene Ours is running out of time to change his processing.

Their shared enemy is building their forces.
