Intrepid Encounter
Cyborg vs. Valkyrie
Blood will be spilled and hearts will be captured.
Intrepid and his crew on the Dauntless guard the border to the cyborg sector. The D Model cyborg captain has dedicated his lifespan to protecting their homeland. He’ll do anything to secure the space and keep his brethren safe.
That includes confronting a Valkyrie intent on vengeance.
The female warrior is beautiful, brave, strong…and Intrepid’s genetic match. She’s the one being he is fated to claim. Her voice causes his circuits to hum. Her touch produces a passion he struggles to control.
But if he has to stop her…permanently…to protect his kind, he will make that sacrifice.
Olrun has been tracking the whereabouts of a one-of-a-kind object. The stolen item is critical to the safety of her Valkyrie sisters, and she’ll do anything to retrieve it.
That includes waging war on a tall, broad-shouldered cyborg warrior sporting brilliant-blue eyes and grimly set lips.
The male might…just might…have battle skills matching her own. And that excites the immortal fighter. She craves his rough handling, his punishing embrace, his stern words.
But Olrun’s desire for the cyborg won’t distract her from achieving her goal. She will shield her fellow Valkyries from danger, even if that means ending Intrepid’s lifespan in the process.
Intrepid Encounter is an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a protective cyborg, a vengeful Valkyrie, and a destiny neither of them can predict.

Happy Halloween
Halloween is my all time favorite celebration of the year. Yes, I love it more than I love my birthday. (grins)
I love the fantastical costumes and how people disappear into magic and make believe for the day.
I love meeting all the little trick-or-treaters who come to our door. Kids are in a constant state of wonder, aren’t they? They are a gift to the world.
I love the candy. When I eat those tiny chocolate bars, I feel like a giant.
I love the fall colors, the leaves, the pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns.
And I love the ghost stories. (shivers in delight)
Have a wonderful Halloween, my friends. (big hugs)

Intrepid Encounter – First Scene Of The First Chapter
The countdown to Intrepid Encounter’s release day has started! Woot!
I will be sharing the first chapter while we wait.
Today, I’m sharing the very first scene.
***
Chapter One
Danger was near.
Intrepid couldn’t yet process the source of the threat.
As he patrolled the Dauntless’s hallways, he scanned his surroundings. Every being, every object, and every system appeared to be operating within spec on his battle station.
But the voice deep inside his soul, the early-warning signal that bypassed his machine side, continued to scream that his lifespan, and a high probability of the lifespans of his crew also, could soon end.
The feeling of dread had started 3.2545 planet rotations ago, and it had gradually intensified until it consumed the processes of his organic brain.
He had to find the origin. His pace quickened.
His trepidation had no basis in logic. But it was always right.
Always.
It had warned him, during his first solar cycle of existence, that a humanoid opponent had secreted a gun into the training ring.
He turned as the male was drawing the weapon. A projectile whizzed across his right cheek. His nanocybotics repaired that damage.
And he dispatched his foe with a dagger to the center eye socket.
The doom deep in his core had also once told him to step to the right on the battlefield.
A missile then landed where he had previously stood. The detonation blasted his arms and legs off, but he survived the impact.
Rage, his friend, stopped and reattached his limbs, sparing him a possible decommissioning by the Humanoid Alliance, their cruel manufacturers.
Solar cycles later, his gut had pushed him to support Rage’s plan to escape those humans.
If he hadn’t fought for his liberation, there was a 100.0000 percent probability he would’ve been decommissioned. The Humanoid Alliance would have sliced and diced his form, his mind, all of him into tiny pieces until he begged for the death that would’ve eventually followed.
He trusted the feeling now ravaging his soul.
Danger was approaching. That was a certainty.
He exchanged not-so-casual chatter with crew members as he passed them in the hallways.
They had nothing out of the ordinary to report.
There were minor variances.
A panel had been replaced in a training chamber after a warrior tested a new type of projectile on it. The top speed of a shuttle craft had been increased. The cleaning bots in the docking bay had their tracks replaced.
All those issues were resolved without incident.
Intrepid turned a corner.
That hallway was also occupied.
“Yum.” He addressed the male walking in his direction.
Yum snapped to attention. “Captain.”
“Are there sufficient supplies of nourishment bars on board?” Intrepid tracked that information through the systems, but he preferred to hear Yum’s report.
“Yes, sir.” The male’s chin lifted to a proud angle. “There are sufficient rations on board for 1.2363 solar cycles, based on our current crew count.”
“Good.” They shouldn’t run out of nourishment before the next opportunity to restock the vessel. “And we’re continuing to test a sample of them before distribution?”
It was unlikely anyone would tamper with the nourishment, but Intrepid wasn’t ruling out any source of peril.
Yum’s lips flattened. “We randomly test one in every 100 nourishment bars distributed, Captain.” His tone was curt. “As per set procedures.”
Intrepid had damaged the male’s self-esteem with his question. “I projected you were following procedures.” He met Yum’s gaze. “But a good captain shouldn’t assume anything. Especially when it involves an important task like nourishment-bar distribution. The full functionality of the entire crew…and myself…relies upon your role.”
Yum stood straighter. “We won’t let you or the rest of the crew down, sir.” His eyes shone with pride.
“I’m counting on that, Yum.” Intrepid headed toward the bridge.
The reports coming from his officers had greatly reduced over the past shift. That could be the source of his unease. There could be a bad reason for that variance.
The doors to the bridge opened as he approached them. Laughter blasted his auditory system.
As he stepped into the space, the mirth dissipated. The image on the main viewscreen reverted to that of open space.
But he had seen the footage his crew had displayed there. “Why is our new engineer crawling along a ventilation shaft?” Intrepid claimed the captain’s chair.
That new engineer, Choice, was the freeborn offspring of Rage and Rage’s human female. He was a C Model like his father and barely fit in the shaft.
It was his first post-training assignment. Intrepid’s trepidation increased. The kid was inexperienced. He would be less capable of dealing with any dangerous situation.
His officers wouldn’t laugh at a crew member in peril. But they also might not recognize if the kid faced danger. Unlike Choice, they had all endured the Humanoid Alliance’s harsh training. They might project he could handle the situation he currently faced.
No one on the bridge answered Intrepid’s question. But they all looked at Grid, their navigator and the primary chaos-creating being in the group.
The male grinned like his processors were malfunctioning.
“Grid.” Intrepid deleted his frustration from his voice.
None of his officers projected they were in danger. He hadn’t shared that hard-to-explain intel with anyone else. They had no reason to be on high alert as he was.
He displayed the live footage of Choice’s ventilation shaft adventures on the main viewscreen. The kid appeared to be fully functional. He moved slowly but without signs of damage.
“Why is our new engineer crawling along a ventilation shaft?” He leveled a hard gaze on Grid.
“I can’t project Choice’s processing with 100.0000 percent accuracy, Captain.” The male’s eyes glittered with humor.
“Project it with less accuracy.” Intrepid didn’t allow him to evade giving an answer.
Grid tilted his head to the side. “If I had to project wildly, I would say he’s ensuring the battle station’s ventilation systems are operating at maximum efficiency, Captain.”
There were many systems on the Dauntless. All were constantly monitored, and all were operating at max efficiency.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – October 29
I was ill this week so I didn’t do much of anything. (grins) That’s one of the great things about being a writer and being a little bit ahead of my schedule. I can rest and recover and return to the writing in fine fighting form.
Intrepid Encounter, the fifth core story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in a month), is loaded at booksellers and ready for release day. Yay!
Hacking Hazard, this year’s free short story (which has no pre-orders and should be available for downloading in December), has been fully edited.
My Awesome Editor says it is a sweet story and I believe gifts should be a bit sweet. (smiles)
I’m adding the newsletter snippets to the end of Hacking Hazard and will be sending it to my Awesome Formatter aka the Dear Wonderful Hubby this week.
Have a wonderful Halloween week, my friends. (big hugs) Marvel at all the fantastical costumes. Sample some of the Halloween goodies. Indulge in the spooky and the creative!

Intrepid Encounter And Being Immortal
Both Cyborgs and Valkyries have an unlimited natural lifespan. They don’t age. Their bodies don’t break down over time. They have the ability to be immortal.
That might sound awesome. (Especially the no illness part. – grins)
Except they are surrounded by humans and other humanoids who don’t have that ability.
As a result, these immortal species endure loss. Again and again and again.
Olrun, the Valkyrie heroine of Intrepid Encounter, is facing a heartbreaking future loss. Her adopted daughter, Jane, is human.
Olrun will battle fate, the universe, and a much-too-appealing cyborg battle station captain in order to keep her beloved grown child safe.

The Need For An Escape
The world is a mess right now. It is currently so bad I don’t feel the need to mention the ways in which it is messed up.
(big hugs)
We need to deal with these situations. But we also need to take care of ourselves emotionally and mentally.
Which is why we should NEVER feel guilty about reading (and writing) romance novels. We NEED that escape. We NEED the boost of happiness and hope and optimism that comes at the end of these stories. We NEED to see, on the page, that good can triumph and dark moments can be defeated.
Once we have that reassurance, that break, we can better tackle the issues on this planet.
(more hugs)

Why You Should Sign Up For My Newsletter
If you’re interested in receiving updates on past and future heroes and heroes and their kids and friends and family members, I strongly suggest you sign up for my monthly newsletter.
Right now, for example, I’m giving updates on the activities of Choice, Rage and Joan’s eldest son. He is joining the crew of the Dauntless, Intrepid’s battle station. This life transition happens between Strive For Forever and Intrepid Encounter. The onboarding is interesting but the scenes don’t fit into either story. So I’m sharing them via my newsletter.
I also, on release months, give insights into published stories.
And, of course, I share some REALLY bad jokes. (grins) They’re absolutely terrible but they’ll make you smile.
Oh and in December, I’ll be giving an exclusive short story (Hacking Hazard) to all newsletter subscribers.

Bringing The Geraniums Inside The House
I live in a corner of the universe that enjoys a snowy, cold winter. Any plants that don’t have deep roots die over that period.
Which means I bring some of my plants inside the house from first frost to last frost. Some of those plants are the durable, constantly blooming geraniums.
There are quite a few ways people can overwinter geraniums. Some folks pull them out of the ground, shake off the dirt and store them in paper bags in a cool, dry place. Some folks trim them severely and store the entire container inside the house.
I dig them out of the ground, repot them, put them by a window and enjoy the flowers all winter.
The trick is to do this before the first frost. (sheepish grin) I sometimes leave this transfer too late.

When the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I travel, one of the pieces of research I love to do is learn about all the haunted houses and other ghostly visitors in the location.
Almost all old houses have been the site of at least one human death. Heck, EVERYWHERE on this planet has been the site of a human death. And if you believe spirits linger where they’ve died, well…then everywhere is haunted.
The difference between a historic house and a haunted house is the story. A haunted house has an awesomely spooky ghost story attached to it.
And that story makes the historic house special.
THAT is the power of a great story.

Intrepid Encounter
(This blurb is VERY rough.)
Cyborg vs. Valkyrie
Blood will be spilled and hearts will be captured.
Intrepid and his crew on the Dauntless guard the border to the cyborg sector. The D Model cyborg captain has dedicated his lifespan to protecting their homeland. He’ll do anything to secure the space and keep his brethren safe.
That includes confronting a Valkyrie intent on vengeance.
The female warrior is beautiful, brave, strong…and Intrepid’s genetic match. She is the one being he is fated to claim. Her voice causes his circuits to hum. Her caresses produce a passion he struggles to control.
But if he has to stop her…permanently…to protect his kind, he will make that sacrifice.
Olrun has been tracking the whereabouts of a one-of-a-kind object. The stolen item is critical to the safety of Valkyries everywhere and she will do anything to retrieve it.
That includes waging war on a tall, broad-shouldered cyborg warrior sporting brilliant blue eyes and grimly set lips.
The male might…just might have battle skills matching her own. And that excites the immortal fighter. She craves his rough touch, his punishing embrace, his stern words.
But Olrun’s desire for the cyborg won’t distract her from achieving her goal. She will shield her Valkyrie sisters from danger, even if that means ending Intrepid’s lifespan in the process.

Intrepid Encounter is an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a protective cyborg, a vengeful Valkyrie and a destiny neither of them can predict.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – October 22
Intrepid Encounter, the fifth core story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in November), has been loaded to the online booksellers and should be ready for its quickly approaching release day. (grins) I can’t wait for you to read this story, my friends. I think it will make you smile.
Hacking Hazard, this year’s exclusive-to-newsletter-subscribers short story (to be downloaded for free in December), is still with my Awesome Editor. As it is a short story, the three rounds of edits should fly by. (I hope.) Formatting will take the same amount of time, however.
I had a few false starts with Strike Zone, the first core story in the Dauntless Cyborgs series (releasing in February). But I think I’ve figured it out. (I hope. I am saying that a lot today.-grins) This part of the cyborg universe will start out with a bang (in more ways than one – laughs). I’m excited to find out what happens next!
Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Listen to some spooky music. Hold one of those tiny Halloween chocolate bars in your hand. Don’t you feel like a giant? (grins) I always do. Imagine living your life with that kind of height! You would certainly have a different perspective on the world.
