Muse Food – If All Humans Disappeared

By Cynthia Sax on August 12, 2024

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spotted this flower vine-covered building in La Romana, Dominican Republic.

One of the exercises I undertake when my muse isn’t feeling inspired is to go somewhere, it could be my backyard (most likely) or halfway across the planet (extremely rarely), and ask myself, “What would this place look like if all humans disappeared tomorrow? What would nature do if she was allowed to retake the land?”

It wouldn’t revert to what it was before humans. We’ve changed the planet permanently. I suspect it would be a bit of a mix…like this building is.

What do you believe your neighborhood would look like if all humans disappeared?

Drift Would

A cyborg and a spy fly into danger.

***

Drift is one of the best pilots in existence, and he has been assigned a perilous mission.

The G Model cyborg must fly to a distant planet, locate the sector-destroying superweapon the enemy is projected to be developing there, and obliterate that threat to the universe.

When Drift arrives at his destination and meets with an informant, he’s distracted by a mysterious human female seated in the shadows. She’s Drift’s genetic match, and she is the one being he’s destined to care for, claim, and protect.

She’s also a liar and a thief. And she might be working with the enemy.

Trusting her could kill him and everyone he cares about.

Liar. Thief. Seductress. Saboteur. Roshini has been called all of those things. And she has earned each label. She’s done some terrible things to safeguard the beings she loves.

A gray-eyed cyborg warrior with nimble hands and a shared need for speed won’t stop her high-risk activities.

She’ll sacrifice everything, including her lifespan, to complete her self-appointed top-secret assignment.

***


Drift Would is a standalone, enemies-to-lovers, Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features a cyborg who loves to break speed records, a human spy with a talent for changing her appearance, and a foe intent on killing them both.

Muse Food – Babies And Hope

By Cynthia Sax on August 5, 2024

The Dear Wonderful Hubby spotted this beautiful momma dear and baby at Nara Park, Japan.

One of the many reasons people love babies is because they symbolize hope. They are the next generation of humans, fur babies, plants, insects, other living things. We hope their world will be a kinder, happier one.

Babies also symbolize innocence. They haven’t yet done anything hurtful.

In stories, harming a baby is the act of the evilest of beings. They’ve done absolutely nothing to deserve that treatment.

Protecting a baby can be a reason for heroes and heroines to survive and to fight.

Babies also suggest a continuance or a future. The characters will live long after the story ends. Which is one reason why many romance novels end with the characters having a baby.

Muse Food – Different Types Of Packs And Containers

By Cynthia Sax on July 29, 2024

The Dear Wonderful Hubby spotted this super cool bird carrier backpack in a grocery store and got the person’s permission to photograph it.

We, humans, like our pets and our stuff. We like to bring our pets and our stuff with us. That means we need something to carry them in. And there are as many different types of packs and containers as there are things and beings/animals to carry.

Our book characters would likely have the same variety of packs/containers to choose from.

Muse Food – Light-Reflecting Spiders And Other Alien Inspiration

By Cynthia Sax on July 16, 2024

I spotted this little spider in the backyard garden.

You can’t truly see it in this photo but she reflects light. Her body is like a tiny green-tinted mirror. She is so, so beautiful and I suspect she uses that beauty to disorient her prey.

There are ‘alien’ creatures all around us, especially hidden behind leaves and on branches. If you are seeking inspiration or ideas, look down or up or to the side. (smiles)

Muse Food – Announcing Where You Are

By Cynthia Sax on July 9, 2024

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I have noticed that many tourist destinations now have Instagram-worthy signs erected with place names on it. These signs announce where the person is.

When characters arrive at a destination in our stories, there are also signs indicating where they are.

They are usually not so blatant. Passing through gates might announce the characters have arrived at a settlement. A security check might announce the characters have entered local-controlled space. A landing pad might communicate the characters are officially on a planet.

These signs are important both to the characters and to our readers.

Muse Food – Reflections

By Cynthia Sax on July 2, 2024

The Dear Wonderful Hubby took this beautiful photo in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I love the way the pier is reflected in the water.

Reflections in stories can be as powerful, as emotion-tugging.

The heroine remembers the first words the hero said to her and those words mean something different at the end of the story. A baddie tells his victim she reminds him of someone from his past. The hero thinks back to his childhood, the last time he was truly loved.

Use reflections…sparingly…to increase emotion.

Muse Food – Boats And Framing

By Cynthia Sax on June 25, 2024

I love this photo the Dear Wonderful Hubby took when we were visiting Panglao Island in the Philippines.

The focus is on the boats.

But the reason it is so beautiful to me is the framing of the much less interesting rocks and tree branches.

In every chapter, there’s usually one scene I’m super excited about writing.

I REALLY want to go straight to that scene and skip all the things that have to happen before that scene.

But I remind myself that those less gripping scenes are WHY the super exciting scene is so exciting. They are the reason that scene makes sense for reading buddies. They’re the reason that scene is impactful. They are the reason that scene is emotional.

They’re the rock framing the boats.

Muse Food – Fruit And Being The First

By Cynthia Sax on June 17, 2024

When the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I travel, we encounter many new-to-us edible fruits, vegetables and other foods.

We also encounter many new-to-us fruits and vegetation that would kill us or make us very ill if we consumed them.

And often, there isn’t much visible difference between the two groups.

So how did we, humans, figure out what we could eat or couldn’t eat?

Trial and error.

If the first person to eat the fruit or vegetation (or fish or animal or insect) died or became very ill, the rest of our ancestors knew not to consume it.

Yep, our current food system was built on that level of sacrifice.

I remember that when worldbuilding in my stories. A character wouldn’t arrive at a new-to-them place and know instinctively what was safe to eat or drink. They would have to be told or have a device that tested food and beverage or some other means of determining that.

Or they risk dying.

Muse Food – Horses And Cars

By Cynthia Sax on May 27, 2024

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spotted this horse and buggy tied to a light pole in a Walmart parking lot.

The contrast between this older mode of transportation and the surrounding cars was awesome.

One culture rejected additional technological ‘advances’, stopping at the horse and buggy stage, and the other culture continued to change as technology changed.

Neither decision was bad or good. It was merely different.

This can be a great way to build our worlds also. One world could have stopped ‘advancing’ at a certain point. Maybe they have cars but they don’t have spaceships. Or they have rejected computer-like devices. Or they have banned any material not naturally found on their planet.

The possibilities are only limited by our imaginations!

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.
