Planting Pots Everywhere
As I prepare for Spring and starting vegetable plants indoors, I’ve been taking an inventory of my gardening pots and trays.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I challenge ourselves to use things one more time.
Which means my gardening pots and trays are often used food containers.
Food containers are usually food safe. That means they are less likely to contaminate soil. And they are usually waterproof and strong.
My favorite tomato plant starting containers are single serve yogurt containers. I punch holes in the bottoms and they are the PERFECT size for seedlings. Many of them have a little bit of yield to them so the seedlings and dirt pop easily out of them.
When the tomato seedlings are too big for the yogurt containers, I transfer them to washed disposable cups (again, with holes punched in the bottoms).
If I need a really big gardening pot, I use cleaned KFC chicken buckets. (grins)
The trays for my pots are often the washed bottoms of rotisserie chicken containers.
Yes, my growing setup is a bit eclectic but hey, it is free and it works for my plants!

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.

The White Lotus And Reading Books Out Of The Series Order
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I discovered The White Lotus TV series during season two.
We devoured that season, loving the show, laughing our fool heads off in parts and battling to solve the mystery. I don’t think we lost much by starting it in season two. All the characters, except for two, were different.
We’re now going back and watching the first season. Yes, we know how the two carryover characters end up. But the rest is a mystery (in all sense of the word – grins). We’re enjoying it very much.
I try to write the stories in my series that way – hoping reading buddie will enjoy the stories on their own and/or within the series.
I don’t always succeed with this. I think Strive For Forever, the fourth story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in July), is more enjoyable if you have read the other three stories. But I do try to make them all stand on their own.
Do you read stories out of the series order?

Muse Food – The Mist
Misty days kickstart my muse.
Look at this crane the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spotted on a misty day in Lima, Peru.
It could be an alien probe originating from a spaceship hovering overhead. That vessel is completely concealed by the mist.
Or it could be a giant robot with its arms outstretched.
Or it could be a number of other things or beings.
The mist partially conceals and warps shapes, making them appear otherworldly and different.
That’s very inspirational. (grins)

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – March 12
I’m back to working on the first draft of Strive For Forever, the fourth story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in July).
Strive is so very different from his cyborg brethren but, under his metal frame, he remains a cyborg. His core programming is very similar.
And Euryale might be sharing her form with an ancient being but she is still a human female in her soul. She has fears and longings, passion and courage.
I love the two of them together.
Have a wonderful week, my friends! (tackle hugs) Enjoy the changing of the seasons. Spend some time in nature, even if that nature is a dandelion poking its blooms out of the pavement. Take deep breaths. And savor the moment.

Interviewed At Amazing Stories
The always awesome Veronica Scott has interviewed me at Amazing Stories!
Here is a snippet…
***
VS for ASM.: What was the first SFR book you ever read and what did you like about it?
CS:: The first SciFi Romance I ever read was Warrior’s Woman by Johanna Lindsey. I loved her historical romances and had read everything she published. Warrior’s Woman was different but I loved it. The hero was a barbarian in space, which really appealed to me. I loved the intrepid warrior heroine. And her guidance system made me laugh. I was completely captured.

The Ground Cracking All Around Us
Many buddies believed the crackled skin on the heroes on the Rebel Cyborg covers were inspired by zombie movies or dried river beds or simply dried skin.
Those were all factors. Definitely.
But it was also inspired by the soil after winter-frozen land thaws. The ground develops cracks.
I was reminded of that when I trekked around the back yard yesterday. (grins)

Raw Desires And The State Of The Humanoid Alliance
In Under Strain, story 2 in the Rebel Cyborgs series, the cyborgs discovered a countdown ‘clock’ on a Humanoid Alliance space station.
The countdown had roughly four solar cycles left on it. The guess was that would be the date the Humanoid Alliance struck back, waging war against the cyborgs and other resistance.
Is that timing still applicable?
I don’t believe it was applicable before the events in Raw Desires.
The cyborgs have commandeered their space stations. That would mess up the Humanoid Alliance’s plans.
After the events in Raw Desires, the Humanoid Alliance’s situation has worsened.
Their leadership is in complete disarray. Numerous commanders are battling for the top role. Some of the forerunners are dying. Their various headquarters are being attacked.
The Humanoid Alliance’s violent return will be delayed.
But it WILL happen. Eventually.
The cyborgs have to prepare for that.

Muse Food – First Impressions
One of the (many) scenes I love to write is when a local population first encounters a visitor from another planet. Their reaction says SO much about their culture and their history.
If they host off planet visitors quite often, for example, they might be super casual about it. They might not note the visitor’s arrival.
If they have never encountered anyone hostile, they might be extremely friendly, rushing to happily greet the being. Sort of like how this adorable donkey rushed to greet me.
If they HAVE encountered hostile beings, they might hide or they might attack the newcomer. Sort of like how our militaries have been blowing up the unknown objects in our skies.
The arrival scene conveys SO much. It is often very important to our stories.
