Cyborgs and Always Being Online

By Cynthia Sax on March 26, 2024

A few days ago, the internet in my area completely failed.

Every provider was down.

The only way to get internet was to drive to another service area.

I spent the day offline.

I puttered around the garden, dreaming of all the seeds I’d plant when the risk of frost passed. I had a wonderful and relaxing time.

But it was…stressful at the beginning. I felt disconnected from the rest of the world.

And I realized that was how a cyborg might feel if they were unable to receive transmissions from their brethren. There would be an unsettling silence in a space where they were accustomed to chatter. They would feel cut off. Alone.

Cyborgs are always ‘online.’ That’s their default, their normal. It’s how they were manufactured to be.

Humans? Not-so-much. (grins)

Strike Zone

A cyborg devoted to duty…and to her.

***

While attending a party, Kesser, the daughter of her planet’s leader, witnesses the abduction of her best friend and her best friend’s mate.

She’s determined to rescue them. Preferably without fracturing the fragile peace agreement her mom has crafted with the abductors’ planet.

The only issue is…she has never participated in a retrieval mission.

Searching for assistance, she approaches the mate’s guard. The male, with his big broad shoulders and deep growly voice, affects her like no other being ever has.

Kesser wants him. She trusts him. And she requires his stealth combat skills.

Desperately.

Strike is no guard. The D Model cyborg has been sent to the sector to discreetly investigate a potential planet-destroying situation.

When a curvy human female with big brown eyes requests his help with a rescue, he doesn’t hesitate to say yes. She’s his genetic match, the one being he was manufactured to protect.

She’s also traveling to the next planet he has to search. He plans to claim his female while he fulfills his responsibilities to his kind.

Neither Strike nor Kesser realizes the dangers facing them are far greater than they imagine. Their enemies are converging, and one failed mission could doom the entire universe.

***

Strike Zone is a standalone, mistaken-identity, Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features a cyborg warrior with a finely honed sense of honor, a human support being taking on her first dangerous mission, and an evil that threatens everyone in existence.

Muse Food – Vultures And Harbingers Of Death

By Cynthia Sax on March 25, 2024

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spotted QUITE a few vultures when we were trekking around Panama City.

We joked that they knew something we didn’t. And that something we were referring to was…death.

Vultures, in many societies, are considered harbingers of death. Likely because they often feast on dead things. They provide a valuable service to their environments and are essential for healthy surroundings. But many humans see them and think…death.

Mentioning a vulture in the distance in a scene will cause many readers to do the same. They will be expecting a death. As they will expect a death if a pale horse or a long black vehicle or a being in a black hooded cloak is mentioned. We can warn readers so they can subconsciously brace themselves for that event and it isn’t as much of a shock to them.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – March 24

By Cynthia Sax on March 24, 2024

Drift Would, the second core story in the Dauntless Cyborgs series (releasing in July), is being edited.

It is a more complicated story action-wise as it also sets up Claiming Cure, the third story. (Cure and Drift are taking on the this mission together and Claiming Cure happens at the same time as Drift Would does.) That requires more time to smooth out the details and more rounds of edits to ensure it all hangs together. (grins)

This also means I’ve had to semi-plot out Claiming Cure as I worked on Drift Would. Claiming Cure should, hopefully, be a faster write. I plan to start Chapter One in April.

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Stop for a moment, look around you and savor the change in the seasons. Breathe deeply. Let the sun’s rays warm your sunscreen-covered face. Just…be. (smiles)

Writing And Dreaming

By Cynthia Sax on March 23, 2024

The Dear Wonderful Hubby jokes that I get some of the best ideas from our bedroom’s popcorn ceiling. (grins)

That’s because a big part of the creative process, for me (every writer is different), is lying on the bed, staring upward into ‘space’ and thinking about a gazillion different possible storylines.

It is dreaming. It is thinking ‘What if?’ What if the planet had zero gravity? What if the cyborg hero didn’t trust his organic side? What if the heroine communicated only in song?

Many of my ideas (especially the song one) will never be used. But considering them excites my muse. And it ensures my next story WILL be different from all the rest.

I like that. Very much.

Strike Zone And Looking Outward

By Cynthia Sax on March 22, 2024

When the cyborgs first escaped from the Humanoid Alliance, they were super focused on their own planet, on protecting it, on establishing order, on keeping everyone else out.

They have slowly expanded their monitoring to their entire sector. They allow most of the planets to govern themselves. But they ensure no hostile beings enter the sector to bother or hurt the inhabitants of these planets. And they are there to be consulted.

Because the safety of those planets impacts the safety of the cyborg-controlled planets.

In Strike Zone, Power and the cyborg council authorize a mission in a neighboring sector. They realize that the activities in that sector could destroy their sector. And it is easier to stop those activities before they finalize.

The cyborgs’ view on the universe is expanding.

Throwback Thursday – B Free

By Cynthia Sax on March 21, 2024

I LOVE B Free.

It features the cyborg world’s version of zombies (the Resurrected), a HUGE cyborg warrior who is the very last of his kind, and a human futuristic archeologist determined to study him.

This story is SO much fun!


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.

***


B Free is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features the sole surviving B Model cyborg warrior, a courageous researcher seeking to uncover the past, and an unplanned visit to a settlement ruled by an extremely scary all-knowing, all-powerful being.

Strike Zone – Order and Cyborgs

By Cynthia Sax on March 20, 2024

The mysterious sound Strike is investigating originates within a neighboring sector. This sector is chaotic. No one is truly in charge of it. There are baddies setting up debris field traps. And planets at war. And ships disappearing.

I love chaos. A bit of it. Too much chaos places everyone in danger.

Someone has to take control of the sector.

Enter the cyborgs. These awesome warriors are half machine. They are SKILLED at creating systems. And systems usually lead to order.

Will they play a part in organizing the sector? That will be up to the Fates (literally and figuratively).

Writing Every Day And The Need For Downtime

By Cynthia Sax on March 19, 2024

As writers, we often hear comments like ‘write every day’ or ‘you don’t need breaks if you love what you do.’

That advice might work for a few writers but it certainly doesn’t work for me.

I usually take a few weeks off fresh writing after finishing the submission draft of a story. I do this because drafts 2 and 3 of a story are very intense for me.

Focusing on the many threads, the character growths, the details is all I do during that time. I don’t read other people’s awesome novels. I don’t watch TV. I don’t go out with friends. Heck, I barely speak to my poor Dear Wonderful Hubby. (grins) The only thing in my head is the story.

So when I send the story to my Awesome Editor, I’m physically and emotionally drained. I need sleep. A lot of it. I need outside stimulus. I need to reconnect to the world.

And I need to purge my brain of the world I created in the story. I can’t think of the next story while I’m still living in the previous story.

This is what works for me. Every writer is different and has different needs. But don’t ever feel guilty about not writing everyday. Many of us take breaks.

Muse Food – Dangers In The Dark

By Cynthia Sax on March 18, 2024

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I encountered this opened maintenance hole in the middle of a walking path in Huatulco, Mexico.

There was a series of them. And none of them were marked.

We were fortunate because it was the middle of the day. The path was lit by sunshine. And we were moving slow.

If it had been night, we likely would have fallen into one of the holes. (There were no lights near the path.)

The time of day in our stories makes a difference. Darkness increases the perception of danger and makes the story a little bit scarier. A strong midday sun does the opposite.

Consider this when writing your stories.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – March 17

By Cynthia Sax on March 17, 2024

Drift Would, the second core story in the Dauntless Cyborgs series (releasing in July), remains with my Awesome Editor. I can’t wait to hear what she thinks of this cyborg/human romance and I can’t wait for you to read it!

I continue to do nothing writing-wise. (grins) I’m still catching up on all the other work I ignored while I was completing Drift Would. It certainly piles up, doesn’t it?

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Read a romance with a green cover today. I’m hoping that will give you a bit of luck AND a bit of happiness. (smiles) Eat a mint-flavored treat. Think about how fraggin’ lucky we all are to be living in this magical universe!

Strike Zone

A cyborg devoted to duty…and to her.

***

While attending a party, Kesser, the daughter of her planet’s leader, witnesses the abduction of her best friend and her best friend’s mate.

She’s determined to rescue them. Preferably without fracturing the fragile peace agreement her mom has crafted with the abductors’ planet.

The only issue is…she has never participated in a retrieval mission.

Searching for assistance, she approaches the mate’s guard. The male, with his big broad shoulders and deep growly voice, affects her like no other being ever has.

Kesser wants him. She trusts him. And she requires his stealth combat skills.

Desperately.

Strike is no guard. The D Model cyborg has been sent to the sector to discreetly investigate a potential planet-destroying situation.

When a curvy human female with big brown eyes requests his help with a rescue, he doesn’t hesitate to say yes. She’s his genetic match, the one being he was manufactured to protect.

She’s also traveling to the next planet he has to search. He plans to claim his female while he fulfills his responsibilities to his kind.

Neither Strike nor Kesser realizes the dangers facing them are far greater than they imagine. Their enemies are converging, and one failed mission could doom the entire universe.

***

Strike Zone is a standalone, mistaken-identity, Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features a cyborg warrior with a finely honed sense of honor, a human support being taking on her first dangerous mission, and an evil that threatens everyone in existence.
