Throwback Thursday – Seeking Vector
One of my indications of love is… does that person trust me with their secrets?
Vector, the cyborg hero of Seeking Vector, has a HUGE secret. He has kept this secret from his crew, his leaders, everyone he knows.
Kasia, the human heroine, is a super skilled hacker and she has uncovered Vector’s secret.
Can he trust her with that secret?
He doesn’t think he can.
Seeking Vector
A cyborg with a secret… A female seeking the truth…
Vector, the C Model captain of the Freedom, is a cyborg many warriors wish to emulate. He fights fiercely, leads with honor, has earned the respect and loyalty of his crew. But no being, not even a cyborg, is perfect. Since arriving at the Homeland, Vector has been hiding a dark truth about his past. If his secret is exposed, he could lose everything – his position, his ship, and his life.
Kasia excels at uncovering secrets. Half a lifespan ago, her curiosity placed her on the Humanoid Alliance’s kill list. Now she has accessed information the cyborg council would prefer remain hidden. Their warriors are hunting her and won’t rest until she’s dead.
When Vector arrives on her battle station, all grim determination, gray skin, and bulging muscles, Kasia knows he has been sent to kill her. That doesn’t stop her from wanting the dominant cyborg. She senses the savage nature under the male’s controlled exterior, sees the mysteries in his brilliant blue eyes, craves the roughness of his touch. She will risk all she has to experience his embrace.
Kasia braved the cyborg council’s ire for a reason. If she doesn’t convince Vector to act on the information she uncovered, the enemy could destroy his home planet and render every cyborg in the universe immobile.
Can a doubting C Model warrior learn to trust and to love before it is too late?

Throwback Thursday – Provoking Odium
Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite tropes both to write and to read.
Provoking Odium, however, is the first story I’ve written to have the human heroine being referred to as the Beast.
Briella has earned that nickname for a number of reasons – some admirable and some not-so-good.
She is a beast in the air. Briella flies into dangerous situations other beings would avoid. She does this to save lifespans. Her courage is tremendous.
And her flying skills are amazeballs. She loves to fly. And flying loves her. (grins)
The human heroine of Provoking Odium is also extremely scarred. She is aware that beings tend to react terribly to her appearance. So she avoids that rejection by rejecting them first.
Odium, the cyborg hero, doesn’t accept that rejection. And he certainly doesn’t react terribly to her appearance. (laughs)
Provoking Odium
A Beautiful Cyborg
While accompanying his leader on a mission, Odium, an E Model cyborg, hears a distress call over the communication lines. The voice on that message makes his circuits surge with energy and all his systems light up. He has to respond to the mysterious female, would risk his lifespan and the lifespans of everyone on board their ship to protect her.
A Human Female Others Call Beast
Briella gained her nickname due to her flying abilities, her fearlessness, and her scarred countenance. Her verbal-only relationship with the sexy cyborg who answers her distress call is a steamy yet short-lived fantasy. His kind is physically perfect, and she is…not. He will uncover that truth when…if they survive the attack upon her freighter.
Provoking Odium is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a human female intent on remaining mysterious, a cyborg warrior determined to uncover her identity, and an enemy seeking to destroy them both before they have the opportunity to meet.

Throwback Thursday – Seeking Vector
All of heroes and heroines have secrets. They have things they don’t share with the universe.
Vector, the cyborg captain of the Freedom, has a HUGE secret. No one else knows a truth about him. He has concealed it from his crew and from the Cyborg Council.
Kasia loves uncovering secrets. And, as she is extremely attracted to Vector, she is focused on him. She pays attention to everything he says and does. And she KNOWS he’s hiding something.

Throwback Thursday – Seeking Vector
I loved Seeking Vector so much I crafted an entire sub-series around his crew (the Cyborg Space Exploration series). (grins)
Vector, the cyborg captain, has a secret no one, including his crew, knows.
Kasia, a female human hacker, is VERY good at uncovering secrets.
They are destined to clash and wowsers, does that collision set off sparks!

Throwback Thursday – Seeking Vector
A wise woman once told me that people who are most different on the inside appear the most normal on the outside.
This is certainly true of Vector, the hero of Seeking Vector. He seems like one VERY uptight cyborg captain. But he has a reason for acting this way – he’s hiding a painful secret.
Kasia, the heroine, loves uncovering secrets. I think Vector senses this and it makes him nervous. It also excites him. (grins)
I love these two together!

Preparing For First Frost
First frost in my corner of the universe is within the first two weeks in October. When that occurs, my tomato plants and my bell pepper plants will die and all the fruit remaining on those plants will spoil.
I don’t know when first frost will truly be. Weather predictions have been wrong in the past.
So I’m picking quite a few of the larger tomatoes while they are green and bringing them inside the house. I place them in shallow cardboard boxes (thank you, chocolate and book deliveries- grins) and will monitor them, waiting for them to ripen.
It takes almost a month for a completely green tomato to ripen inside our house. That means we’ll have fresh tomatoes during the entire month of October, which is AWESOME.
I’m also picking the bell peppers. They remain green and they would be considered a small green pepper in the grocery store but hey, they taste great!
(Next year, I’ll start the bell peppers earlier. I added them to the gardening mix at the last minute this year.)
I’m super happy with the veggie garden this year. I’ll definitely have one again next year.

Female Friends
At the beginning of Provoking Odium, Briella, the heroine, is alone in the universe. She has intentionally emotionally isolated herself, fearing she would be hurt, would be rejected yet again.
At the end of Provoking Odium, Briella has Odium, a male she trusts with all of her. (This isn’t a spoiler as I clearly state Provoking Odium is a romance.)
But as importantly, Briella has friends, female friends. Mohini, the heroine of Grin And Bare Him (releasing in November), befriends her. As do some of the females she meets on Mercury Minor.
IMHO… friendships are very important for our emotional wellbeing. That includes virtual friendships.
I consider many of you to be my friends and I value our relationships. (big hugs)

We found out more about Torque in Provoking Odium. He is the warrior happily testing the cyborg sector’s defenses.

Muse Food – Thunderbird House Post
I love practical items that also serve decorative and/or religious/cultural purposes.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby spotted this beautiful house post in a Vancouver-area park.
As per the sign…
“Thunderbird House Post
Carved house posts are used in traditional First Nations cedar houses to support the huge roof beams.
This pole is a replica of a house post carved by Kwakwaka’wakw artist Charlie James in the early 1900s.
Tony Hunt carved this replica in 1987 to replace the older pole now in the Vancouver Museum.
James experimented with colours and techniques creating a bold new style that has influenced generations of artists including his step-son Mungo Martin and grand-daughter Ellen Neel.”
According to the sign, the post depicts a grizzly bear holding a human.
***
Cyborgs, in the past, wouldn’t have ever considered carving gorgeous images into their structures’ support beams.
They tended to focus on the functional. Their weapons were plain. Their structures were devoid of decoration.
The warriors’ views are changing, however, as they meet their genetic matches and experience different cultures. Some of the cyborgs (like Strive) are also exploring their creative sides.
I expect beauty will be a consideration going forward.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – September 25th
Grin And Bare Him, the second story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in November), has been loaded at booksellers. It should be good to go on release day. (grins)
Over Torque, this year’s FREE thank you short story (ready for download in December), remains with my Awesome Editor.
I continue to craft the first draft of Raw Desires, the third story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in February). Stars. Raw’s story is action-packed. I’m loving it!
Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Touch a leaf. That connection with nature, according to research, is good for many of us. Listen to the wind. Smell a brand new print book. Engage your senses.
