Muse Food – The Little Delights

By Cynthia Sax on January 8, 2024

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I were trekking along a rock-covered shore and we spotted this little snail hidden among the rocks.

There are little creatures all around us. They might be too little for our eyes to see without help. Or they could be hidden. Or they could be merely…small. (smiles)

That is true in the worlds we build also. Not every creature or other type of life form will be easily visible. But they are likely there. And they might cause chaos or invoke delight in your characters.

Intrepid Encounter

Cyborg vs. Valkyrie

Blood will be spilled and hearts will be captured.

Intrepid and his crew on the Dauntless guard the border to the cyborg sector. The D Model cyborg captain has dedicated his lifespan to protecting their homeland. He’ll do anything to secure the space and keep his brethren safe.

That includes confronting a Valkyrie intent on vengeance.

The female warrior is beautiful, brave, strong…and Intrepid’s genetic match. She’s the one being he is fated to claim. Her voice causes his circuits to hum. Her touch produces a passion he struggles to control.

But if he has to stop her…permanently…to protect his kind, he will make that sacrifice.

Olrun has been tracking the whereabouts of a one-of-a-kind object. The stolen item is critical to the safety of her Valkyrie sisters, and she’ll do anything to retrieve it.

That includes waging war on a tall, broad-shouldered cyborg warrior sporting brilliant-blue eyes and grimly set lips.

The male might…just might…have battle skills matching her own. And that excites the immortal fighter. She craves his rough handling, his punishing embrace, his stern words.

But Olrun’s desire for the cyborg won’t distract her from achieving her goal. She will shield her fellow Valkyries from danger, even if that means ending Intrepid’s lifespan in the process.

Intrepid Encounter is an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a protective cyborg, a vengeful Valkyrie, and a destiny neither of them can predict.

Muse Food – Clocks And Making Things Up

By Cynthia Sax on December 18, 2023

I told a new-to-me person I was a writer.

His lips twisted. And he said, “Oh. You just make sh*t up.”

Yes. That’s what I do. I make sh*t up.

But almost everything in our modern lives is made up sh*t.

Sunsets and sunrises, for example, are real. We see those happen. Animals and birds and other living beings experience them also.

8:00 am or 7:00 pm? That’s made up sh*t. Those time references were created to make life easier for us humans. We can tell friends, “Meet at the pub at 5:00 pm.” And they’ll know when they’re expected to be there. We don’t have to look at the placement of the sun or stars to figure that out.

Cars, money, our jobs, what our homes look like, the clothes we wear, our governments and almost everything around us is made up sh*t.

It is all world building in real time. Millions of people over thousands of years built our worlds here on Earth by making sh*t up.

My reply to the person who told me I just made sh*t up?

“Everyone makes sh*t up. They merely don’t realize it.”
