Cyborgs And Keeping Secrets

By Cynthia Sax on January 28, 2022

Most cyborgs situated on the Homeland, including Power and other members of the cyborg council, don’t know anything about Ghost and Lethe’s offspring. They assume the baby cyborg is male and a C Model and as malfunctioning as Ghost is.

But those are all assumptions. There has been no verification of those details.

Readers of Ghost Of A Machine, Ghost and Lethe’s story, know that Rage, Joan, Crash, Safyre, Carys, Ace And Thrasher witnessed the birth of Ghost and Lethe’s child.

How did they keep such a huge secret?

They knew Ghost before they arrived on Mercury Minor. They knew he is hyper protective and a bit paranoid, and they assumed communications and everything that happened on his planet would be top secret. That is merely an aspect of being Ghost’s friend, being part of the very small group of beings he trusts.

They wouldn’t dare to transmit anything from Mercury Minor. EVER.

Once that baby cyborg was born, they realized the implications of the offspring’s identity. They agreed to say nothing, to give the cyborg council and others no additional information. Everything would come from Ghost and no one expected Ghost to communicate well…or at all.

Power and the rest of the cyborg council were busy with other things. More offspring were being born. Ghost and Lethe and their new baby cyborg were able to live private lifespans.

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.

When a threat to Homeland is revealed, he takes command of a fleet and ventures to the edge of cyborg-controlled space to investigate. He finds a rebellion led by a mysterious upstart he calls Cadet.

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 be 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.

Having lured Power to her home terrain, she now plans to use everything within her means — her fists, her daggers, her ship-destroying missiles — to pound that truth into her stubborn warrior’s thick metal skull.

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

Power will believe her. Or he will die.

***

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

It features an epic battle between two equally strong cyborg leaders, plans that go terribly yet passionately wrong, and a love that will shake the entire universe.

CES 2022 And Virtual Hugs

By Cynthia Sax on January 26, 2022

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I recently attended the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas. Due to (waves at everything), many attendees AND exhibitors didn’t participate. It was about 25% the size of the regular convention.

There were still some awesome new product reveals and I had an opportunity to speak with many scientists. I’ll be incorporating their insights into upcoming stories. (grins)

Virtual reality was, of course, a big topic, and when I saw the display by OWO, I immediately thought of reading and writing buddies.

I often give you virtual hugs (hugs) and now, with innovations like OWO sensation technology, you can feel those hugs whenever you want. This has wonderful possibilities for long distance relationships (like those endured by our military heroes) and for those of us who crave touch.

We might, in the future, have the ability to cuddle with our favorite romance characters!

So You Want To Marry A Prince

By Cynthia Sax on January 25, 2022

Recently, I dreamed I was a character on So You Want To Marry A Prince, a Bachelor-type reality show where women vie for the attention of multiple prince/royalty-type men from various countries.

The heroine (my character) is tall, blonde, pretty and…quiet. Her sister signed her up for the show and that sister was so excited about the heroine being selected; the heroine didn’t have the heart to back out.

The heroine doesn’t expect to find love and when she peeks through the curtains, she isn’t attracted to any of the princes she first sees. The men are young and handsome (it IS a dream – grins) but she isn’t drawn to any of them.

Then she sees…him. The prince is sitting on one of the made-for-TV thrones with a resigned look on his handsome face.

And she knows. He is HER prince.

When the contestants enter the room, not every prince stands but he does…even though this is a struggle for him. She would find out later he has a chronic condition similar to MS.

Some of the other contestants gasp and say unkind things. He must have heard them. Yet he raises his chin, his expression so proud and regal, and he says nothing.

The heroine admires his strength, his courage. He is HERS. She knows this in her heart.

The first date card she receives, she chooses him. She finds out his younger brother signed him up for the show. They have a lot in common, have similar dry senses of humor, the same loyalty to family, sense of duty, etc.

Her prince is technically the crown prince but he plans to step aside and allow his brother become the next king. He has decided never to marry and never to have children, has already decided to choose no one on the show.

Our heroine tries to change her prince’s mind but he is so blasted noble and proud. He doesn’t want to ‘inflict’ his condition on anyone else. He tries to dissuade her and goes on dates with other contestants.

The heroine realizes he feels he has little to offer a potential partner. She changes tactics. She confronts him, points out that the show is called So You Want To Marry A Prince, that the primary goal of many contestants is to become a princess, that they aren’t looking for love or ‘normal’ relationships.

SHE is looking for love and doesn’t care about marrying a prince. I think both of them realize this but she gives him a reason to justify what he perceives as a selfish act-to indulge in his caring for her and seek happiness for himself.

Decision day comes. More and more contestants are eliminated until our heroine is sitting by herself. She feels awkward, uncomfortable.

Her prince sees that, makes the great (and highly visible to the cameras) effort to change seats to sit beside her, ensuring she isn’t alone.

He takes her hand.

And she knows she has been chosen. She has found her Prince, love, and a royal happy ever after.

Seizing Power – First Scene Of The First Chapter

By Cynthia Sax on January 24, 2022

The official countdown to the release day of Seizing Power, the fifth story in the Rebel Cyborgs series, has started! Woot!

While we wait for Seizing Power to release on February 22nd (2/22/22 – grins), I’ll be sharing the first chapter, starting today with the very first scene.

***

Chapter One

There was only one leader in a group.

Power was that being for every cyborg in existence.

He sat behind a horizontal support at the far end of the cyborg council chambers. His back faced the wall. Other members of the council were positioned to his left and to his right. Vector, the captain’s crew, and their females stood in front of him.

Ruling was a solitary role. It required emotional and physical distance from others—a separation from the beings who might influence him, who might sway him to make incorrect decisions, convince him to place their interests before the welfare of the larger group.

He had made that mistake. Once. He quashed a grimace.

The results of that choice had been catastrophic. It had killed every being he cared for, had nearly ended him, had endangered the entire cyborg Homeland.

Power would never make that same error again.

His stance came at a cost. He had no close friends. Not alive. Not any longer. His lips flattened. He hadn’t yet found his female, the one being genetically compatible with him, a much-wanted helpmate he could keep safely by his side, tell his secrets to, share his tasks with.

There was no one he completely trusted.

He was alone. That was a conscious choice, a sacrifice he had made for his kind.

At times, like now, when warriors questioned his authority, he wondered why he had fought for his current role.

“This matter has been discussed.” Power clipped off each word, not attempting to hide his irritation.

Vector had approached him first, privately.

Power had dismissed the issue, not viewing it as a threat.

“Our lifeform scans detected five thousand, one hundred and thirty-two beings on the surface of Mercury Minor.” The warship captain stubbornly relayed that information. Again. “There were four thousand and ninety-eight cyborgs, eight hundred and one humanoids, two hundred and thirty-three humans.”

“There should be only three beings on the surface of Mercury Minor—Ghost, his human female and their offspring.” Vengeance, the C Model representative on the cyborg council, frowned.

That lucky warrior had found his genetic match. Astrid Ragnhild, the Buoir Berserker, Vengeance’s Warrior Female, sat by her male’s side.

She rested her head on the C Model’s shoulder.

Power bit back his envy. That was what he wanted—that connection.

And he had tried to seize it. Desperate for companionship, he had sought to claim the human female for his own.

That pursuit had ended in embarrassment. He inwardly winced. But fortunately, it hadn’t impacted his role as leader.

He remained in charge.

“Ghost and his human female’s offspring should be a cyborg.” Medic Tifara, Death’s female, shared that projection under her breath. “He should be male. And he should be fully mature by now.” Her reasoning was logical. 100.0000 percent of the offspring of cyborgs had been cyborg and male. Cyborgs matured within a solar cycle. “Has he transmitted?” She looked up at her warrior.

“No transmissions have been received from the offspring.” Death kissed his human’s forehead.

“He must have the same challenges as his father has.” She nodded as though agreeing with her own statement.

It was a conclusion Power had also reached. Ghost was severely damaged, struggled to communicate with others. There was a 76.5892 percent probability the C Model’s offspring suffered from the same malfunction as his father.

“Multiple lifeform scans were run, utilizing multiple systems.” Vector braced his booted feet farther apart. The captain of the Reckless was determined to beat them over the head with unwanted information. “There was visual verification of structures.” Images flashed across the viewscreens hanging on the walls around them. “I am 97.2536 percent certain there are more than three beings on the surface of the planet.”

Power was 99.2659 percent certain there were more than three beings inhabiting Mercury Minor. He’d seen the images, the data. Cyborgs didn’t lie, and Vector had more honor than most beings he had encountered.

But the activities of five thousand, one hundred and thirty-two beings situated at the edge of cyborg-controlled space weren’t a priority for him. He was responsible for millions of cyborgs. Many of them orbited the Homeland in crowded battle stations. They impatiently awaited assignments, were at all times one wrong word away from killing each other.

He had more important problems to solve.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – January 23rd

By Cynthia Sax on January 23, 2022

Progress on Provoking Odium (releasing in June) is going VERY slowly. I will likely send the submission draft to my Awesome Editor at the end of March, not at the end of February.

The story premise is great. I love Odium and his heroine and the rest of the beings. The issue is… (waves at everything around us). It is very challenging to focus on this wonderful story when many loved ones are struggling and in possible peril.

If you’re encountering similar challenges, be kind with yourself. Remember that our only true goal is to make it to the next day. Everything else is extra, is bonus. This is a fraggin’ pandemic, my friends, and we are SURVIVING it. We’re ROCK STARS for doing that. We should be very proud of ourselves.

(big hugs)

Thousands Of Friends

By Cynthia Sax on January 22, 2022

When I was a teenager, I would volunteer at long term care residences. For a few fortunate months, I was paired with an absolutely wonderful and hilariously witty older woman I grew to love dearly. She was blind, was slowly going deaf. My task was to read to her.

I asked her if she was scared. Once she lost her remaining hearing, she would be cut off communication-wise from almost everyone.

(She no longer had the hand coordination to read braille. And computers weren’t as advanced then as they are now.)

She would be alone.

She smiled at me. “Readers are never alone, my love. We have thousands of friends living up in here.” She tapped her forehead. “I’ll simply be spending more time with them. We’ll have grand adventures and good long chats.”

I have thought of her often during this pandemic. My corner of the universe is currently locked down again. We shouldn’t leave the house unless it is necessary. We’re separated from many loved ones.

But I have thousands of friends living in my brain, heroes and heroines from the thousands of novels I’ve read and written and will write in the future.

That’s a gift.

Cyborgs And Parents Who Never Age

By Cynthia Sax on January 21, 2022

My Awesome Mom is getting older. She gathers more laugh lines on her beautiful face every year. Her fastball is slowing down a bit. It is still faster than mine is. (grins) My Awesome Mom could have turned pro if the fates had been aligned. She’s a bada$$.

I would love for my Awesome Mom to remain young forever.

That isn’t possible…yet… for humans. It IS possible for cyborgs and for cyborgs’ genetic matches.

Eirene Ours’/Cadet’s parents, Ghost and Lethe, will never age. They will look the same, will likely have the same physical capabilities for their entire lifespans.

But they WILL change emotionally and mentally. Becoming parents has shifted Ghost and Lethe’s outlooks on the universe. Lethe, for example, is more cautious. She watches what she says (as her daughter repeated everything she uttered). She is truly a Mom.

I love seeing her evolution as a being.

The Release Date For Provoking Odium

By Cynthia Sax on January 19, 2022

I’ve received some questions about the release date for Provoking Odium, the first story in the next cyborg series. This cyborg romance is tentatively releasing in June, four months from the release date for Seizing Power. Buddies are wondering why this story will take so long to write and edit.

I’m hoping it WON’T take that long to write and edit. I hope we will hit the three month dates on each stage of writing/editing and can release it in May.

That could happen. Booksellers are quite happy to move release dates forward.

They do not like it AT ALL when we push release dates back. I decided to be cautious and give myself and my Awesome Editor an extra month…just in case.

Because the world is extremely unpredictable right now. We still have a pandemic happening. Climate change disasters seem to be on the upswing. There were the holidays to consider. We don’t know what we’ll be facing tomorrow.

For now, the release date for Provoking Odium will remain in June.

This story WILL be worth the wait. I DO know that. (grins)

Robots In Dallas Inspiration

By Cynthia Sax on January 17, 2022

The Dear Wonderful Hubby spotted this Robot and Robotic Bird sculpture in Dallas. The legs remind me of the machines in the Tom Cruise War Of The Worlds movie.

This robot is one part of a three part art piece called The Traveling Man, designed by Brad Oldham and Brandon Oldenburg. This part of the piece is called Walking Tall.

I found it inspiring and thought it might serve as muse food for some of my SciFi Romance writing buddies. (grins)

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.

When a threat to the Homeland is revealed, he takes command of a fleet and ventures to the edge of cyborg-controlled space to investigate. He finds a rebellion led by a mysterious upstart he calls Cadet.

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.

Having lured Power to her home terrain, she now plans to use everything within her means – her fists, her daggers, her ship-destroying missiles – to pound that truth into her stubborn warrior’s thick metal skull.

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

Power will believe her. Or he will die.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – January 16th

By Cynthia Sax on January 16, 2022

Seizing Power, the fifth and final cyborg romance in the Rebel Cyborgs series, has been finalized and loaded to booksellers. Woot! It will be ready for its February release date.

I’m still working on the first draft of Provoking Odium, the first cyborg romance in the new Cyborg Unity series (releasing in June). Progress is slow. My target date to get this story to submission draft status and to my Awesome Editor is the end of February. Yeah. (sheepish grin) You’ll be hearing about the first draft for a while.

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Look up at the stars if you get an opportunity. We’re all part of this fantastic universe. And we’re fortunate to be here on Earth, a beautiful, life- and love-filled planet.
