Drift And Knocking On Wood

By Cynthia Sax on May 1, 2024

In the Sax Household, we knock on wood quite a bit.

We’ll say something like “We have a great life” and then we’ll immediately follow that with “Knock on wood” so we don’t curse ourselves and draw energy that changes our great life to a not-so-great life.

That response is steeped in superstition and not-at-all based on logic or science. But we do it anyway because…well…it doesn’t cost us more than a few words and why take the risk?

And who knows? Doing that might have saved Drift from his fate (or Fates – grins).

At the end of Strike Zone, the pilot cyborg celebrates not being assigned to a mission. As he’s doing that, he DOES get assigned to it.

Did his celebration draw that reversal?

Logic says it didn’t. Those are two unrelated actions.

But the superstitious part of me says he might have avoided that assignment if he had knocked on wood.

Strike Zone

A cyborg devoted to duty…and to her.

***

While attending a party, Kesser, the daughter of her planet’s leader, witnesses the abduction of her best friend and her best friend’s mate.

She’s determined to rescue them. Preferably without fracturing the fragile peace agreement her mom has crafted with the abductors’ planet.

The only issue is…she has never participated in a retrieval mission.

Searching for assistance, she approaches the mate’s guard. The male, with his big broad shoulders and deep growly voice, affects her like no other being ever has.

Kesser wants him. She trusts him. And she requires his stealth combat skills.

Desperately.

Strike is no guard. The D Model cyborg has been sent to the sector to discreetly investigate a potential planet-destroying situation.

When a curvy human female with big brown eyes requests his help with a rescue, he doesn’t hesitate to say yes. She’s his genetic match, the one being he was manufactured to protect.

She’s also traveling to the next planet he has to search. He plans to claim his female while he fulfills his responsibilities to his kind.

Neither Strike nor Kesser realizes the dangers facing them are far greater than they imagine. Their enemies are converging, and one failed mission could doom the entire universe.

***

Strike Zone is a standalone, mistaken-identity, Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features a cyborg warrior with a finely honed sense of honor, a human support being taking on her first dangerous mission, and an evil that threatens everyone in existence.

Almost Ready To Move The Gardening Outdoors

By Cynthia Sax on April 30, 2024

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I are watching the 14 day weather forecast. We’re looking for any risk of frost.

If we get the all clear by tomorrow, we will likely start moving the tomatoes, beans, peppers, squash and other seedlings outside.

Our last expected frost date is May 10th. We’re early. But that is to be expected with the climate changing.

Muse Food – Donkeys And The Unexpected

By Cynthia Sax on April 29, 2024

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I were trekking along a beach in Grand Turk and we saw a herd of…

Donkeys.

It wasn’t a place we expected to see them. We were surprised and happy and it was a notable part of our day.

The unexpected can strengthen our stories also. An unexpected twist keeps the reader aware. They tend to pay more attention after that event. And the unexpected can be a talking point when readers discuss our stories.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – April 28

By Cynthia Sax on April 28, 2024

This black and white cat was sleeping in the middle of a busy (and dirty) sidewalk in Casablanca, Morocco. Everyone was careful to step around her. Every so often she would roll onto her back and allow someone to give her a few belly rubs.

(grins)

Cats are the same the world over, aren’t they?

Drift Would, the second core story in the Dauntless Cyborgs series (releasing in July), has been sent to my awesome formatter (the Dear Wonderful Hubby)! Woot! I love this story and I think you’ll enjoy it also.

I’m now focused on writing the first draft of Claiming Cure, the third core story in the Dauntless Cyborgs series (releasing in November). As always, this first draft will be completed slowly. (sheepish grin) I’m such a slow writer but hey, I get stories written. That is the only thing that truly counts!

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Rub a cat’s belly if you’re granted that honor. Feel the softness against your fingertips. And revel in the realization that you’re one of the rare chosen ones!

Life Continues

By Cynthia Sax on April 27, 2024

One of the many things I love about the cyborg world is…

Lives continue after stories end.

Kesser and Strike from Strike Zone are managing negotiations between planets and working toward keeping their new home sector as peaceful as possible.

Rage and Joan from Releasing Rage are dealing with an emptier nest right now as Choice has moved away from home. Heart, their youngest, won’t be at home much longer also. And yes, Rage and Joan is dealing with their newfound privacy in extremely sexy ways. (grins)

Vapor and Mira from Breathing Vapor are enjoying the exact opposite situation. They seem to add to their adopted family every second planet rotation. And they’ve recruited some more cyborgs to help them.

The universe goes on for every past hero and heroine. And, if we’re ever lonely, all we have to do is check in on them.

Gardening With The Mafia Squirrels

By Cynthia Sax on April 26, 2024

The mafia squirrels are out of control this year with the digging. They are not only digging up every inch of the garden beds but they are also digging in the lawn and other places.

They seem to be in a frantic need to store food. That’s a tad bit concerning. It feels like one of those signs in the movies warning us there will be an upcoming natural disaster or alien invasion.

It is also bringing the challenge level of gardening up a few levels. We’ve resorted to covering areas with sown seeds with chicken wire. And we erect stick fences around newly transplanted plants.

It looks absolutely awful.

But hot sauce and cinnamon and other ‘easier’, less visible precautions don’t work with the mafia squirrels. They are city squirrels and they like it spicy. (grins)

Gardening – 3 Weeks Until Transplanting Outside

By Cynthia Sax on April 24, 2024

The tomato, marigold and pepper plants are growing happily in the basement grow station.

I grew extra plants because…squirrels. (shakes head and grins) They love to dig up newly transplanted plants. For no real reason except it entertains them. I have spare plants in case I lose a few.

Transplanting won’t happen for another 3 weeks. That is the expected last frost date in our corner of the universe.

I’ve also started beans and squash and am waiting for them to germinate.

The grow station is packed. I find that super exciting. (beams)

He Watches Me And Other Cynthia Sax Contemporary Romances

By Cynthia Sax on April 23, 2024

I’ve received some messages from reading buddies asking where they can find print copies of He Watches Me, Breaking All The Rules and other contemporary romances.

He Watches Me, He Touches Me, He Claims Me, Flashes Of Me, Breaking All The Rules and the Sinful Rewards serial were all published by Avon.

I don’t, unfortunately, have any control over whether or not these books are available in…well…any format.

It appears Avon has decided to pause offering these stories in print format. They didn’t tell me that was happening. I found this out when a reading buddy emailed me about it.

Will they resume offering them in print format? I don’t know.

Sorry about that! (big hugs) It is as frustrating for me as I suspect it is for you.

Muse Food – Goats And Explaining The Impossible

By Cynthia Sax on April 22, 2024

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I watched this goat calmly walk down a sheer wall of rock. We’ve seen similar goats descend perfectly intact brick walls.

Those feats seem impossible…to us, humans. Yet they occur.

There is an explanation for why goats need very little to stand on (their hoofs are the main reason).

Writers have to provide that explanation, preferably in as few words as possible, or readers won’t be happy with our stories. Everything has to be plausible or has be explained. Even the magic in fantasy novels is based on ‘logical’ systems.

That is part of the fun. (grins)

Before I send Drift Would to the Dear Wonderful Hubby, I have to look at the unedited excerpt for Claiming Cure (releasing in November) a few more times.

Then I’ll add it to the end of Drift Would. And once the Dear Wonderful Hubby has made the story pretty, it will be loaded to booksellers.

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Enjoy an in-season vegetable or fruit. Inhale its scent. Let its taste linger on your tongue. We are so fortunate to have a variety of produce! Our planet is amazing!

Strike Zone

A cyborg devoted to duty…and to her.

***

While attending a party, Kesser, the daughter of her planet’s leader, witnesses the abduction of her best friend and her best friend’s mate.

She’s determined to rescue them. Preferably without fracturing the fragile peace agreement her mom has crafted with the abductors’ planet.

The only issue is…she has never participated in a retrieval mission.

Searching for assistance, she approaches the mate’s guard. The male, with his big broad shoulders and deep growly voice, affects her like no other being ever has.

Kesser wants him. She trusts him. And she requires his stealth combat skills.

Desperately.

Strike is no guard. The D Model cyborg has been sent to the sector to discreetly investigate a potential planet-destroying situation.

When a curvy human female with big brown eyes requests his help with a rescue, he doesn’t hesitate to say yes. She’s his genetic match, the one being he was manufactured to protect.

She’s also traveling to the next planet he has to search. He plans to claim his female while he fulfills his responsibilities to his kind.

Neither Strike nor Kesser realizes the dangers facing them are far greater than they imagine. Their enemies are converging, and one failed mission could doom the entire universe.

***

Strike Zone is a standalone, mistaken-identity, Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features a cyborg warrior with a finely honed sense of honor, a human support being taking on her first dangerous mission, and an evil that threatens everyone in existence.
