Does Gardening Save Money?
People often assume we’re growing vegetables to save money.
(squishy face) It DOESN’T save us money. Not in the short run.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby is a master grocery shopper and he finds quite a few vegetable bargains. He also buys the huge boxes of tomatoes and bell peppers local farmers supply to grocery stores during the summer and fall. I process and freeze those vegetables. I do the same with the massive bags of onions he buys. We’re cool about eating canned and frozen produce, which helps lower our grocery bill also.
Today, we can source vegetations fairly inexpensively.
And there are vegetables this summer TO source. We aren’t seeing many shortages thus far. (Knock on wood that continues.)
Growing vegetables MIGHT save us money years from now if the prices increase. We’re honing our skills as gardeners. Those skills might be needed in the future.
And gardening gives me happiness. I like watching things grow!

Strive For Forever
This cyborg seeks to vanquish an ancient entity and save his curvy human female.
Euryale made a terrible mistake. She opened a container she shouldn’t have touched and released one of the oldest lifeforms in existence. That all-powerful entity is now utilizing her as its host body and is slowly draining her energy.
Soon, she’ll die.
Euryale has accepted this fate and is determined to use her remaining moments in the universe to save as many lives as she can.
Her plans do NOT include a smoldering-hot, poetry-wielding cyborg willing to decimate entire planets to save her.
While under the control of the Humanoid Alliance, Strive, a K Model cyborg, disobeyed direct orders and refused to kill on their behalf. If he hadn’t escaped their cruel clutches, his defiance would have led to his death.
The male knowingly risked that fate to save the lifespans of complete strangers.
There is nothing he wouldn’t do to protect Euryale. The curvy human female is his genetic match, the one being he is destined to defend.
And she is in danger.
Strive would break every vow, cross every boundary, risk absolutely everything to keep her from harm.
Including battle a deity no one has ever defeated.
***
Strive For Forever is Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features an inspired cyborg, a joke-cracking scientist, and an all-powerful deity with plans of his own.

Strive’s Affliction As Seen By Others
In Grin And Bare Him, Grin talks about how Strive lost control of his emotional system and attacked five Palavian warriors.
That IS how that situation could have been perceived, when seen by other beings.
But it isn’t truly what happened.
Strive’s visual system, auditory system, and monitoring systems failed. He surged forward, hoping to reactivate them. And he found himself in the middle of the group of the Palavian warriors (who then proceeded to hack his arms off).
Strive wasn’t attacking anyone. He didn’t correct Grin’s misconceptions, however, because the truth is far more mortifying.

Strive For Forever And Enemies-To-Lovers
I was talking with the Dear Wonderful Hubby, telling him how I often write enemies-to-lovers romances but Strive For Forever wasn’t one of those stories.
Euryale holds no animosity toward Strive. And Strive is determined to claim Euryale as his female. Forever.
But then, the Dear Wonderful Hubby pointed out, “What about (X character)? Is that enemies-to-lovers?”
And friends, it kind of IS. It isn’t an enemies-to-lovers romance. But it is an animosity to admiration or, at least, tolerance type of situation.

Muse Food – Black Dragonflies And Expectations
When the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I were trekking around Japan, we spotted quite a few predominantly black dragonflies and butterflies.
At first, we didn’t know what they were.
Because, here in North America, there aren’t many predominantly black dragonflies and butterflies. It isn’t a color we tend to associate with those lifeforms.
But in Japan, they’re common.
We have expectations about quite a few things. School buses are yellow, for example. Spring leaves are green, as another example.
One of the things that makes a place or a planet ‘alien’ is twisting those expectations. The trees on an alien planet might have purple leaves. Or the transport for the kiddies might be bright pink.
This is an easy way to tell readers, “Hey, this place is different!”

Strive For Forever – First Scene Of The First Chapter
The countdown to Strive For Forever’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
The universe was a violent place. There was death and destruction everywhere.
But there were also pockets of stillness, of serenity, of beauty—if a being looked for them.
Rare moments of tranquility could be found in the curve of the one remaining leaf hanging from a soon-to-be fallen tree, in the glorious hues of the last sunset some of Strive’s cyborg brethren would ever view, in a drop of blood on a bedraggled blue flower growing in a Humanoid Alliance training ring.
Those exquisite instances aided Strive in managing his malfunctioning emotional system. They helped him find the calm he required to endure the ugliness.
They had kept him alive during his enslavement by his cruel manufacturer, had fueled his willingness to escape, and, now that he was free, they inspired his works of art.
His fingers twitched. The urge to create, at the moment, was strong.
Praecipua Minor, the wild, lush planet his friend Grin, and Grin’s female, had claimed for her kind—the Praecipuans, almost overwhelmed him with visual delights.
The tour of the not-yet-completed settlement was led by Grin. Strive’s friend waved his hands at camouflaged rooftops and missile-proof walls. He chattered about the materials used and the unique design features. And he beamed while he was doing all that.
The male was proud of his fabrications.
And Grin’s female was proud of her male. Her face glowed.
Strive was happy for his friend. He valued Grin’s skills.
But the nature flourishing all around them impressed him more than the structures being constructed.
The settlement was surrounded by tall, heavily branched, broad-leafed trees. More vegetation grew at the bases of the trunks. A river flowed near the space. The water’s surface reflected the filtered sunlight. The liquid sparkled and burbled.
A large winged creature squawked as it flew over their heads, and Strive’s gaze shifted upward.
The creature’s feathers were an assortment of bright colors – red, yellow, blue, green, and white. Its tail was magnificent and regal and impractically long.
“You’ve installed perimeter alarms.” All Strive’s friend Raw was interested in was battle-and-defense tactics.
Raw’s female’s fingers were linked with her warrior’s.
“We tried to conceal those alarms.” Grin’s female frowned.
The tiny devices were hidden between the ridges on the trees’ bark.
“He’s a cyborg.” Raw’s female rolled her eyes. “He has superior cyborg vision.” Her tone was teasing. “I didn’t see it with my inferior human vision.”
“He’s also stationary.” Grin gripped one of his female’s hands. “And he was looking for them.”
“I’m always looking for them.” Raw lifted his chin. “I’m one of the best warriors in the universe.”
“Arrogance gets warriors killed.” Strive turned his back on the couples.
His friends were lucky bags of bolts. There was one, sometimes two beings a cyborg was genetically compatible with, and they had both found their matches.
He had…no one.
And he might never have anyone. Some cyborgs would never locate their beings.
The sorrow and envy Strive was experiencing wreaked havoc on his mechanicals. His auditory system, always the first to falter, flickered. The sounds around him muted and then returned to full volume.
His visual system, if he didn’t manage his emotions, would be the next part of him impacted. His world would turn dark and silent.
Reaching that state had almost gotten him killed in the past. It would occur during the Humanoid Alliance training bouts. He hated fighting. His loathing of battle would make his emotional system malfunction. That would down his auditories and his visuals.
Strive would be standing in the ring, unable to see or hear, facing an opponent who sought to end his lifespan. If it hadn’t been for Raw’s assistance, he would’ve died in that first solar cycle.
He was determined not to progress to that point now.
Seeking to manage his turbulent emotions, he crouched by a corner post of a structure and focused on the vegetation sprouting through the cracks in the simulated stone.
The plant was unfurling its first set of fragile, bluish-green leaves. That image would be perfect for a cyborg and his genetic match with their newly manufactured offspring. He could fabricate a panel decorated with various vegetation and creature offspring. The material would be a warm hue, a gold-colored metal. He’d outline the images with perfectly-placed projectiles.
“We’ve lost him again.” Grin’s voice lilted with amusement.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – June 25th
I didn’t start writing Intrepid Encounter, the fifth core story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in November), this week because I received final edits on Strive For Forever (releasing in July)! Woot!
Strive’s story has now been finalized and loaded at booksellers. We are good to go. (grins)
This week, I’ll be sharing the first scene from Strive For Forever. And I am starting to write Intrepid Encounter.
Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Smell the roses if you can. (The roses in my garden are starting to bloom.) Watch the clouds as they move across the sky. Wiggle your toes in the grass if that’s possible and safe for you.

Pre-Order Blurbs
I’ve listed Intrepid Encounter, the fifth core story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in November), at booksellers.
The blurb, like all my early pre-order blurbs, is VERY rough. I’m not yet happy with it and it hasn’t been edited at all. (I can feel my editor wincing. – sheepish grin)
But it gives you a flavor for the story, that it features Intrepid and the Valkyrie and is very much an enemies-to-lovers romance.
They DO battle, thinking those clashes will be to the death and blood IS spilled. (Thankfully, cyborgs repair quickly.)
Intrepid and his Valkyrie give me Vengeance and Astrid vibes.

Backyard To Table
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I are eating more and more out of the backyard garden. We have green onion tops, radishes, spinach, lettuce, cilantro and other herbs.
We jokingly call it backyard to table, a twist on the farm to table marketing campaign.
And it is SO satisfying. We grew this food! (beams)

Cyborgs And Language Skills
Raw, the cyborg hero of Raw Desires, struggles with expressing himself verbally. He is a take action type of warrior and that is how he prefers to communicate – with actions.
Strive, the cyborg hero of Strive For Forever, the upcoming fourth core story in the Cyborg Unity series, in contrast is likely the most adept at words cyborg I’ve written thus far. When he allows himself to communicate freely, he is quite poetic. He paints word pictures. He says the most romantic things.
Raw and Strive are the same model type. Yet they have vastly different skill levels with languages.
I find that intriguing.

Strive For Forever
(This description is still VERY rough.)
This cyborg seeks to vanquish an ancient entity and save his curvy human female.
Euryale made a terrible mistake. She opened a container she shouldn’t have touched and released one of the oldest lifeforms in existence. That all-powerful entity is now utilizing her as its host and is slowly draining her energy.
Soon, she’ll die.
Euryale has accepted this fate and is determined to use her remaining moments in the universe to save as many lives as she can.
Her plans do NOT include a smoldering hot, poetry-wielding cyborg willing to decimate entire planets to save her.
While under the control of the Humanoid Alliance, Strive, a K Model cyborg, disobeyed direct orders and refused to kill on their behalf. If he hadn’t escaped their cruel clutches, his defiance would have led to his death.
The male knowingly risked that fate to save the lifespans of complete strangers.
There is nothing he wouldn’t do to protect Euryale. The curvy human female is his genetic match, the one being he is destined to defend.
And she is in danger.
Strive would break every vow, cross every boundary, risk absolutely everything to keep her from harm.
Including battle a deity no one has ever defeated.
Strive For Forever is Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
