Testing Truth And Gegenees

By Cynthia Sax on September 17, 2020

In Testing Truth, my most recent cyborg romance release, we meet a ‘bartender’ in the beverage outlet on Nereid Negative One, the planet Truth and Dissent are exploring. He has six-arms, which comes in very handy (pun intended) when serving drinks to his many customers.

The bartender is a Gegenee.

I adhere to the Common Ancestor Theory, humans and humanoids all have a common ancestor, which is why they can reproduce. It is also why the ‘aliens’ in my stories use variations on Earth languages.

It makes sense to me that some of our Earth-based myths and stories are based on alien visitors also.

The Gegenees, for example, were six-armed giants who fought the Argonauts. They lived on an Island and were all killed. But they HAD to have originated from somewhere.

That somewhere could have been a different planet.

Testing Truth And Royaume Vocabulary

By Cynthia Sax on September 14, 2020

Princess Nancy, the heroine of Testing Truth, comes from the planet Royaume. Royaume is fairly insular. There isn’t much immigration to or from the planet. Beings have lived there for many, many generations and they tend to stay on the planet. They don’t travel much.

As a result, their culture AND their language is unique. The closest equivalent on Earth would be the fictional culture and language of European fairy tales. Nancy wears a tiara. She doesn’t wear a head decoration. She wears gowns. She doesn’t wear a full body covering. The Ruler of Royaume, Nancy’s biological mother, is a Queen, not a Ruler.

Truth, being a cyborg, adds those words to not only HIS databases but he also shares the information with ALL freed cyborgs. Everyone’s vocabulary is expanding.

I suspect Power will be VERY interested in how Royaume is ruled and the language they use. He seems like a cyborg who wouldn’t mind being a King. (grins)

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – September 13th

By Cynthia Sax on September 13, 2020

This upcoming week will, of course, be all about the release of Testing Truth, my latest cyborg romance. Testing Truth releases on Tuesday (Monday night for reading buddies who have pre-ordered it) and I’m super excited that you will be able to read it.

This weekend, I loaded the next C.S. Sax short story collection at booksellers. Medieval Dragon Shifters, the first collection, will be releasing on September 22^nd. More Medieval Dragon Shifters, the second collection, will be releasing on October 20^th. The third collection (Medieval Beast Shifters) will likely be released in January.

Why will there be a gap in releases? Because my focus, at the moment, is writing Containing Malice, February’s cyborg romance release. This is the first story in the Rebel Cyborgs series and I’m so fraggin’ stoked about it. I think you’ll love this new series.

Some buddies have given me fresh ideas on how to possibly return to Facebook. I’ve been trying those ideas out. None of them have worked YET but I’m still hopeful!

Testing Truth – Stories You Might Want to Re-Read

By Cynthia Sax on September 12, 2020

There are 3 more days until Testing Truth releases! Woot! I can’t wait for you to read this story!

Testing Truth can be read on its own. But I think this story, especially, is much more powerful and meaningful if you’ve read the other stories in the series plus Seeking Vector (the Captain’s story).

Truth, for all his jokes and wisecracks, pays attention to others. He has learned from Chuckles, Doc, Dissent, North, his captain and their experiences with their females. He has noticed, as one tiny example, that some human females like to color their hair. So when his female constantly changes her hair color to match her outfits, he takes that in his stride.

And there is a nod to each of the previous stories in the Cyborg Space Exploration series in Testing Truth. These nods might be slight (like Truth’s comments on hair color) so you might only catch them during the re-read but they’re there. (grins) I had great fun slipping them into the story.

Of course, the Rebel Cyborg storyline builds. That will be resolved in the next stretch of cyborg stories (Containing Malice will release in February).

Bloodshot And Nanocybotics

By Cynthia Sax on September 10, 2020

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I recently watched Bloodshot, a movie in which Vin Diesel (bites fist) plays a cyborg. (grins) Yes, this movie is pretty much designed for me.

We became super excited when we saw Vin Diesel’s ‘nanites.’ They are EXTREMELY similar to the nanocybotics in my cyborg romances. There are some variances but they are basically tiny machines that repair wounds and other damage and they looked dang close to how I’ve always pictured them.

How is this possible?

These similarities are possible because we likely based our nanocybotics/nanites on the same existing research and we both increased their capabilities, projecting the most obvious improvements to the technology in the future.

As Bloodshot’s Director, Dave Wilson, shares “The concept of having a microscopic, robotic organism in our bodies that delivers medicine to a particular part of your body, that is not far away. We use that as a base and take a giant, scientific leap.”

Before writing Releasing Rage, I talked to a gazillion scientists about how cyborgs could repair themselves and a few of the scientists had the same suggestion. That suggestion was the basis for nanocybotics.

This is one of the (many) reasons why I’m cool with other writers using nanocybotics and other ‘technology’ in their own stories. I based these technologies on existing research. If other writers read the same research or talk to the same scientists, they would likely have the same ideas. The ideas aren’t truly mine. They belong to the research, to today’s information.

Testing Truth And The Rebel Cyborgs

By Cynthia Sax on September 9, 2020

Some reading buddies have asked if we will learn more about the Rebel Cyborgs in Testing Truth.

YES!

There is a HUGE clue about who is leading the Rebel Cyborgs revealed in Testing Truth. And some alarming revelations around what they’re planning to do.

Power should be afraid, very afraid, but you and I both know he’s too arrogant and too overly confident to be scared. (grins) I am SO looking forward to writing his story (I have to write the first 4 stories in the Rebel Cyborgs series first).

Testing Truth is the end of the Cyborg Space Exploration part of the cyborg series. The Rebel Cyborg section will be next. Will the cyborg saga ever end? That’s doubtful. Sections of it will end. But new sections of it will begin.

And there will be different issues emerging as the cyborgs evolve. The next generation cyborgs aka the freeborn cyborgs will have different outlooks on life and different issues than the formerly enslaved cyborgs, for example.

The Humanoid Alliance also haven’t been sitting on their asses. They are developing new types of devices and new types of warriors. They will eventually want their cyborgs back in their control or they will want them dead. The cyborgs know too much. The Humanoid Alliance won’t allow them to live peacefully…or as peacefully as beings manufactured to fight can live.

Testing Truth And Images Of Space

By Cynthia Sax on September 8, 2020

Note: Testing Truth, my next cyborg romance, releases in 7 days. There WILL be spoilers posted about this story, especially as I’m not currently on Facebook to monitor this. If you don’t like reading spoilers, consider pre-ordering Testing Truth and then staying away from the bookseller page.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby was teasing me this morning as I was searching through alien planet images, looking for a great one for today’s countdown post. He joked that book promotion was merely an excuse to share images of space and alien planets.

The man is exactly right. (grins) I LOVE looking through space images. They inspire my muse and get me all excited to write. And they’re beautiful. Even if I didn’t have book information to share, I would still look at them.

Stock Art Crafted By And Indirectly Purchased From: grandfailure

One of my favorite artists is grandfailure. I collect grandfailure’s works. Any stock photos this artist posts on the site I frequent, I purchase for my collection.

Do I share them with you? Ahhh… I don’t often do that. I don’t feel right using them with promo. Each image is meant to be seen as a whole. They’re more emotion-evoking that way. Blocking part of the image with my cover or words seems…wrong.

I collect them because they inspire me and make me happy. I share other images because I hope they will make you happy.
