The Swoonies And Other Year End Awards
The Swoon Awards opened their nominations today.
Please nominate as many 2020 Cyborg and Alien Romances as you’ve enjoyed under the Science Fiction Romance category.
The entry form is here – http://www.theswoonawards.com/2020/11/the-2020-swoon-awards-nominations-round.html
Eligible titles from me include
Testing Truth by Cynthia Sax
Warlord’s Return by Cynthia Sax
and
North Bound by Cynthia Sax
Why am I encouraging you to do this?
The more book bloggers, site owners, reviewers, readers and others that discover Cyborg and Alien Romances, the more Cyborg and Alien Romances folks write for us. I don’t know about you but I will happily read them ALL. (grins) I love these stories.
It also makes writers feel good. 2020 has been a challenging year for everyone, including your favorite writers. And being nominated is like receiving a big hug from all of Romancelandia. It tells us our stories matter. We are loved.
The Swoon Awards allows unlimited entries in the nomination round (Which is THE most impactful round for many of us – It truly isn’t about the win. It is about the nomination.). You can make many writers feel good and all it takes is noting their title and their name.
We’ll likely see many of these nomination contests during the next few months. Taking a couple minutes to fill in your favorite titles and writers DOES make a difference.

Warlord’s Return
Ariq is a barbarian warrior seeking a war.
He locates that battle when he meets Xareni.
* * *
Ariq is one of Chamele’s top warriors. A genetic predisposition to fighting, paired with intensive training and experience, has honed the scarred male into an effective killing machine. He loves war, can’t live without combat.
The Succession Wars, however, have finally ended and the Chamele sector is now at peace. Seeking excitement and purpose, the barbarian warrior accompanies his Second to the Refuge, an outlaw settlement on Carinae E. He hopes to locate the battle he’s been craving there.
Ariq finds that conflict and more when he meets his fated mate.
Xareni owes the Ruler of the Refuge a favor. That’s the only reason she has returned to the settlement. She doesn’t like crowds or structures or a certain barbarian warrior who insists on following her everywhere. It doesn’t matter that there’s a connection between them, that he makes her burn with desire, that he looks at her with heat in his dark eyes.
She’s a monster and monsters don’t need anyone.
* * *
Warlord’s Return is a STANDALONE Alien Barbarian SciFi Romance featuring a determined barbarian warrior, an equally resolute human female, and an eyeball-eating mini dragon.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – November 15th
I completed the first round edits for Containing Malice (releasing in February) on Friday and have sent those back to my Awesome Editor. The story works! Yay! That is always a happy day. (grins)
I’m playing around with my website and this blog today so don’t become alarmed if the look of it changes or it is temporarily broken. Some buddies have shared that the white text on the black background on my website is hard to read. I’ll likely go with a dark text on white background combination.
This week, I plan to start writing the first draft for Under Strain, the second story in the Rebel Cyborgs series. The schedule called for the revisions of 3 more short stories for C.S. Sax but I’m super inspired and excited about this next cyborg romance. I will indulge my muse and write it next.
Be as safe as you can, my friends! Now is the time for many of us to hunker down and indulge in some reading or writing.

Do You Want To Win Something?
2020 has been a challenging year. It feels like we’ve had to fight hard for every scrap of happiness.
We deserve to win something.
This is one of the (many) reasons I’m participating in The TBR Pile’s I Heart Romance Week. There are SO many prizes, so many contests. If you enter even a handful of them; you will win something. That’s almost guaranteed.
I’m giving away a bunch of Cyborg Sizzle Omnibuses. The first collection includes 7 stories.
You can enter one of those contests here:

There are, however, dozens of other contests.
You can find them all here:

Friday The 13th And Superstitions
Today is Friday the 13th, a day some people consider to be ‘bad luck.’
One of my loved ones was born on a 13th so I have a very different view of the day. The day she was born was a very lucky day for me.
I DO hold other superstitions.
I consider ladybugs to be good luck. Being from the farm, I know ladybugs eat some insects that are harmful to crops.
I ‘knock on wood’ after I say something is going well. This reminds me that things might change and I should be grateful for the current state.
I NEED to see the Dear Wonderful Hubby off, giving him a kiss and a wave, whenever he leaves the house. If I don’t do this, I feel…unsettled until he returns. I worry that it might be the last time I ever see him. Danielle has the same superstition in the movie Ever After. Her stepmother and stepsisters don’t follow it when her father leaves and well, we all know what happens to Cinderella’s father.
I don’t like to leave cook time on the microwave. I heard when I was a kid that if the microwave is stopped before the set time and that time is left on it, it could turn on and blow up. There’s no science to this. I know this is a myth. (sheepish grin) Yet I still have to delete the remaining time.
What are some superstitions you hold?

The Darkness Of War
Note: If you have loved ones serving right now, please consider skipping this post.
On this lockdown Remembrance Day, I thought I’d answer one of the questions I often receive from reading buddies – “Do you have to make your stories so dark and violent?”
I write about warriors and war so yes, I DO have to make my stories violent and dark in tone. I believe to skim over the darkness, to minimize the horror of war, how it impacts warriors and others is to dishonor our Earth-based warriors’ experiences and sacrifices.
War is often unfortunately necessary but it IS brutal. I will never forget the expressions on my Great Uncle Frank’s face when he relived moments of battle (you can read about that experience here – http://tasteofcyn.com/2013/11/11/lest-we-forget/ ). I have read accounts of war that give me nightmares years later. It is horrific.
War changes people forever. It impacts relationships. It touches almost all aspects of a warrior’s life present and future. Just as there is no such thing as an ex-Marine, there is also no such thing as an ex-warrior in any other role. The experience stays with anyone (real or fictional) who has endured it.
Our warriors are making extreme sacrifices to protect us, defend us, keep us safe. I would never want to minimize their service or experiences in any way.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – November 8th
Containing Malice (releasing in February and available for pre-ordering now) is with my Awesome Editor! Woot! Of course, I found some continuity issues and typos as soon as I sent it but that is why there are 3 more rounds of revisions before the story is finalized.
If you enjoyed Releasing Rage, I think you will like this story. It has the same vibe to it. I love Malice, the extremely angry C Model hero, and Illona, the determined-to-save-him Medic heroine. They are special apart and they are magical together.
I slept almost all of yesterday and plan to sleep almost all of today. (grins) I push it during the second and third drafts of a story. And I need to restore my energy levels as the cyborgs would call it.
Tomorrow, I plan to start revising three short stories for the next C.S. Sax collection. The first story features a unicorn-shifter Prince. (grins) These short stories are so much fun!
Have a great week, my friends! Read some awesome books and find joy in every day!

Warlord’s Return And Returning To The Refuge
In Warlord’s Return, we return to the Refuge, the settlement Kralj and Dita (from Dark Thoughts) rule. Oghul (from Dark Warlord) is visiting his brother and his brother’s gerel. The Chameles are looking forward to training with the Modified Humanoids.
Some reading buddies have asked me if we will return to the Refuge again in the future. Will we visit with Kralj and Dita again, spend more time with the flying triplets and the others?
Yes. Definitely yes. (grins)
I don’t have immediate plans for another story set in the Refuge. The next year is all about the Rebel Cyborgs and Power getting his a$$ handed to him. (laughs) Containing Malice, the first story, is explosive.
But we will absolutely be returning to the Refuge in the future. I want to write next generation stories and some of the Modified Humanoids deserve to find their mates.

NaNoWriMo
November is NAtional NOvel WRiting MOnth (i.e. NaNoWriMo), a month in which many writers challenge themselves to write 50,000 words in 30 days.
(If your favorite writers disappear, they are likely participating in NaNoWriMo.)
It is often a lot of fun. Writers don’t have very many group events. This is one of them and many of us embrace NaNoWriMo.
I NEVER win NaNoWriMo. November is a huge revisions and edits month as editors prepare for the holiday season. That takes time away from writing fresh words.
November is also a very busy month in other areas. There is holiday shopping and charity work and the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I like to participate in US Thanksgiving (meeting with family and friends will be done over videochats this year).
If you’re participating in NaNoWriMo and you don’t win, that’s fine! The 50,000 word official goal is just a number someone made up. The true goals are to give the writing a little more focus and hopefully write a few more words and have fun.
This month, I plan to do very little fresh writing. I’m currently revising Containing Malice (releasing in February). After that has been completed, my goal is to revise three more short stories for the next C.S. Sax collection.
So I won’t be officially part of NaNoWriMo this year but I WILL be cheering for my writing buddies! Have a blast with it and celebrate the writing!
