Muse Food – Decadence And Baddies

By Cynthia Sax on July 18, 2022

When the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I toured The Breakers in Newport, Rhode Island, the recorded guide mentioned some of the walls in the Morning Room were covered with platinum leaf.

Platinum is one of the most expensive materials on Earth today. And it was super expensive also in 1895 when the mansion was built.

To use platinum as decoration is and was an in-your-face display of wealth.

It is something a baddie in one of my stories would do. The local population is starving and this baddie is using precious metals as wallpaper.

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.

Old Tech

By Cynthia Sax on July 8, 2022

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I visited The Breakers, an amazing mansion in Newport, Rhode Island, recently. They had a lot of old tech.

Why do I love old tech?

Because many ideas used in old tech are used in new tech. And it might be used in future communications devices.

I find them inspiring.

This telephone and buzzer notification system was utilized by the lady of the house. It was installed in her private space.

These speaker tubes were utilized by the servants. They talked to other servants situated on the lower floors.
