I grew up around moose so it likely isn’t a surprise I write stories set on alien planets. Moose are alien looking creatures. (grins)

They’re HUGE. That vending machine in the background of this photo of a preserved moose in Wawa, Ontario, Canada? It is full size.

If a car hits a moose, the car is totalled and the driver is likely dead. Shotgun (riding in the passenger seat) is a serious role up north. The number one task of every shotgun person is looking for moose.

Moose are also the top of the food chain, even though they eat vegetation. Nothing messes with a full grown healthy moose and that includes bears.

Moose don’t know fear. They’re armed with a solid set of antlers, long legs and deadly hooves. AND they know how to use them.

I find moose…inspiring. And I have a healthy respect for them.

Muse Food – Wawa’s Goose And Tourist Attractions

By Cynthia Sax on December 12, 2022

A month ago, the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I went on a road trip across Northern Ontario, Canada.

There’s an expectation in the small Northern towns, situated on the highways, that they will have a statue or sculpture or some other attraction to draw people in and convince them to stop for a few minutes (or longer).

Cochrane has a huge polar bear statue. White River, the birthplace of Winnie The Pooh, has, of course, a big Winnie The Pooh Memorial.

Wawa has a giant Canada Goose (Wawa means Canada Goose in Ojibwe).

I envision small planets employing a similar strategy. They could erect huge sculptures (that don’t require beings to staff) to draw in weary space travelers, tempting them to get off their ships and stretch their legs for a while.

Grin And Bare Him

This cyborg will be the warrior his female requires.

Cyborgs are designed to fight. That is their primary purpose and 98.2356 percent of the manufactured warriors enjoy battle. Tremendously.

Grin, a K model, is one of the rare exceptions. When he escaped his cruel creators, he set down his sword and allocated his processors to less violent pursuits. He projects he’s left his war-waging planet rotations behind him forever.

Then he meets his beautiful, beguiling female, the one being he’s destined to protect, to claim, to love for all eternity, and his plans for peace are completely decimated.

Mohini needs a ship.

She has a dangerous mission to complete and the first step in that assignment is arranging transport to an enemy-controlled planet. The vessel she has set her sights on is guarded by the sexiest cyborg she’s ever seen.

To gain access to his ship, Mohini is prepared to kiss, caress, seduce the muscular male. The mission is her focus. The pleasure she experiences will merely be a bonus.

A female has to do what a female has to do to save the universe.

Grin And Bare Him is a Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a humanoid female undertaking a dangerous mission, a cyborg intent on keeping her alive, and an enemy with enough firepower to blow up an entire sector.
