Throwback Thursday – Chasing Mayhem

2020 has been a chaotic year. Strange things have happened
and continue to happen. The weather has been extreme. We’re in the middle of a
pandemic. Leadership has been…random. There is an outbreak of murder hornets
and other bizarre things have occurred.

The cyborg I believe would most fervently embrace this year
is Mayhem. (grins) His name says it all. He relishes the unpredictable nature
of the universe, runs toward trouble, not away from it, and he sports a wide
grin on his handsome face while doing so.

Imee, his female, is his match. She’s a little more stable,
which is a GOOD thing because if she was any less stable, this wild couple would
likely fly into the nearest star simply to experience that. (laughs) But she
understands why Mayhem processes the way he does. Her lifespan has been chaotic
also.

If you feel the need to escape this world for a while and
embrace chaos, considering reading or re-reading Chasing Mayhem.

***

Wild. Free. Hers.

Mayhem has spent his lengthy lifespan obeying the Humanoid Alliance’s rules. Finally free from their cruel control, the cyborg warrior plans to cause chaos. He infiltrates a remote settlement, provokes the savage locals until they want him dead, and allows himself to be captured by the sexiest little Retriever he has ever laid his mechanically-enhanced eyes on.

Imee’s sole mission in life is to keep her family alive. To do this, she must hunt rebels, returning them to the Humanoid Alliance’s evil clutches where they will be executed. She doesn’t allow herself to feel anything for her targets…until she meets a tall, muscular cyborg with wild hair and even wilder eyes.

With his sure hands, laughing lips and erotic holds, Mayhem makes Imee’s body sizzle and her resistance melt. Their love is doomed. She must deliver the warrior to his death or she’ll place her family’s safety at risk. But she can’t resist him.

Imee soon discovers that Mayhem, life, and love are never predictable.

Chasing Mayhem is Book 6 in the Cyborg Sizzle series and is a STANDALONE story.

It is also a BBW Cyborg SciFi Romance.

Warlord’s Return – A Bonus Story

Some reading buddies have asked me why I didn’t end the
Chamele Barbarian Warlords series after Warlord’s Mercy. That story answers almost
all of the questions raised during the series. What more is there to tell?

Lysagh’s story DOES need a happier for-now ending. Her story
is one that hadn’t been completely told. This young bounty-hunter-in-training is
still looking for her place in the universe. Her gut tells her it isn’t with
the bounty hunters. There’s so much anger in her and she wants vengeance.

Ariq, Oghul’s best warrior and the hero of Warlord’s Return,
also needed some resolution. He is struggling with peace, as many warriors here
on Earth do.

Just because the wars
for a species or nation end doesn’t mean the wars for those involved have ended.

Ariq has adapted to battle, is genetically-disposed to battle,
has spent most of his lifespan honing those skills. Now they’re not needed.

And he’s lost. He doesn’t know where he fits anymore. I
wanted to tell that story, to see him receive his happy ending.

But I DO view Warlord’s Return as a bonus story, a story I
wrote mostly for myself and thought you’d enjoy. (grins) It is a reason to go back
to the Refuge, the home of Kralj and Dita from Dark Thoughts. I hung out with
Oghul and his crew and received updates on the modified humanoids.

The Refuge series and the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series
are closely connected.

It felt right to return to Carinae E. It felt like returning
home.

And I really needed that right now. I thought you might need
it too.

(big hugs)

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 – First Scene Of The First Chapter

The countdown for Warlord’s Return, the next Chamele Barbarian Warlords romance, is on! Woot!

While we wait for it to release on November 3rd, I’ll be sharing the first chapter, starting with the first scene.

***

Chapter One

Ariq was a warrior without a war.

The Chamele sector was finally at peace.

That was cause for celebration for the average Chamele. The
Succession Wars had waged for solar cycles. Beings had died. Families and homes
were destroyed.

All that hardship was over.

But it created a different type of trauma for beings like him, beings who lived for battle—who were created for it. There was a restlessness within Ariq, a need to fight, to kill, to appease that thirst within his soul. The beings in his birthing settlement called it the os khonzon, the vengeance, and that genetic aberration had carved its claws deep into him, threatened to tear him apart.

Carinae E, an outlaw planet, could provide the hostilities
he craved…if they ever reached there. The trip there from Chamele 2 was
long, and it involved too much sitting on his ass, not enough bloodshed.

Looking for a diversion, Ariq moved through the ship.

Yesun, the youngest Chamele warrior reporting to Oghul,
their Warlord’s Second, was seated at his usual place in the nourishment-consumption
chamber. He clutched a nourishment bar in each of his hands. “Is Second looking
for me?”

“He’s not looking for you.” The last time, Ariq saw Second,
his friend and leader was cuddling with his gerel, the ship’s Lead Medic. “Leave
some of those for the rest of us.” He teased the always-hungry youth.

“I’d leave them all for you if there was something else to
eat.” Yesun grimaced. “These bars don’t fill me up…not like my mother’s do.”
His gaze lost focus.

The young warrior was likely thinking of all the nourishment
he’d eaten in his short lifespan.

Not wanting to hear that recap, Ariq picked up two
nourishment bars, a container of beverage, and three cleaning cloths, put them
in the holsters on his ass coverings, and hastily exited the space.

Rinchinbal was in the
corridor. The Chamele boy had been adopted by Qulpa, the ship’s pilot, and
Qulpa’s gerel, their Warlord’s Head of Ship and Weapons Design.

The boy twisted his slender form to the right and to the
left. The tips of the mechanical claws attached to his right hand were yet
again stuck in the wall panel.

It was the third time in three planet rotations Ariq had
found him that way.

Qulpa’s gerel had deliberately made Rinchinbal’s claws
dull…which was a good thing as the boy would have done serious harm to himself
if they were sharp. His small body was covered with scratches and shallow
puncture wounds.

But bluntness meant, with great force, the boy could pierce
a surface but couldn’t cut himself loose. He huffed and puffed, struggling to
free himself.

Hitch, one of their bots, tugged on the boy’s index finger,
seeking to help him. The little creation chirped encouragement. His lights
flashed.

Tubby, another bot, was positioned at the boy’s booted feet.
He held out a straightening tool.

That would make the situation worse.

Ariq stifled a sigh. “Stay still.” He extended his natural
claws and made slits in the wall panel around the boy’s mechanics. “You’re
patching these holes also.”

Rinchinbal might not yet be a skilled warrior, but he had
become very good at repairs.

“Please don’t tell Head of Ship and Weapons Design about
this.” The boy extracted his claws. “If she finds out how bad I am at using her
claws, how I can’t work them properly, she might send me back, choose another
boy and—”

“Head of Ship and Weapons Design has already invested almost
a solar cycle of training into you.” Ariq stopped the young Chamele’s impending
meltdown.

The boy had been born without claws, had been rejected and
abandoned by his biological parents for being different. He worried others
would be as judgmental as those uncaring beings had been.

“It takes Chameles much longer than one solar cycle to learn
how to use their claws. See this mark?” Ariq pointed to one of the scars on his
side. “I inflicted that wound on myself after I had my claws for fourteen solar
cycles.”

Unlike Rinchinbal, he had been born with claws. He had been
trying to impress other boys during training, had misjudged a move and
accidentally impaled himself upon his natural weapons.

The boy’s eyes widened. “That’s a great scar.”

Hitch whistled, adding his commentary.

Ariq grunted. He had plenty of great scars. “Head of
Ship and Weapons Design would be a fool to exchange you for another boy at this
stage of your training.”

Qulpa’s gerel also loved the boy more than she loved her own
lifespan. Qulpa cared for Rinchinbal with that same intensity. The boy was part
of their family…permanently.

Ariq narrowed his eyes at the young warrior, forcing himself
to be tough on him. Rinchinbal wouldn’t respond to soft words. “Are you calling
Head of Ship and Weapons Design a fool?”

“No, sir.” The boy straightened, almost poking himself in
the hips while doing so.

“Then stop worrying about nonsense.” Ariq shook his head.
“Patch the holes and continue your training.”

He
walked away from the boy and the bots.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – October 4th

This week flew past me faster than a K Model cyborg running
at top speed. I am waist deep in the first draft of Containing Malice
(releasing in February). 8 chapters have been written and I LOVE it thus far.

It very much has a Releasing Rage feel to it. Malice is a C
Model. He’s extremely angry. One of the beings he is angry at is his female,
whom he views as his cruel captor. This is very much an enemies-to-lovers romance.

Warlord’s Return, the sixth and final story in the Chamele
Barbarian Warlords series (releasing in November), is an enemies-to-lovers
romance also. Ariq is looking for a fight. Xareni is happy to give it to him.

The countdown to this release is on. I’ll be sharing the
first scene from the first chapter tomorrow (Kralj, the hero of Dark Thoughts,
makes an ‘appearance’ in the first chapter but not in this first scene). I
think you’ll really enjoy this story.

The schedule for this upcoming week consists of writing the
next 5 chapters in Containing Malice, teasing you with snippets from stories,
and trying to get back on Facebook. That last task is an upgoing quest (grins)
that I am determined to succeed at…eventually.

Stay safe, my friends. Wear masks (I’m sporting pumpkin- and Halloween-themed ones). Social distance. Read great books and escape this world for a while. Take care of yourselves! You’re part of my reading family and I want you to remain as well as you can be!

Testing Truth

A fun-loving cyborg gets serious about love.

***

Truth lives each moment as though it were his last. The
cyborg warrior rushes into danger, teases beings he shouldn’t provoke, accepts
every call of adventure he encounters.

When a prissy little human princess floats into the Rebel
structure Truth is occupying, seeking a mercenary to assist her and her unusual
entourage, he volunteers to be her warrior. She claims their assignment is
dangerous, warns him he might not survive the task.

That is exactly the type of fun he has been seeking.

Princess Nanette of the planet Royaume must rescue her
estranged brother from an enemy prison ship. That is her duty, and she has been
trained to always place the needs of her planet and her subjects before her
own. Nancy doesn’t have the freedom to indulge her passions for a certain
dark-haired, gray-skinned cyborg. Not permanently and not publicly.

But she is unable to resist the warrior. Truth, with his
laughing eyes, smiling lips, and rough hands, tempts her as no one else ever
has. He could be her one fleeting act of rebellion before she’s matched with
the powerful ruler her planet requires.

If they survive their current mission.

Their love is doomed. Their lifespans are at risk. This
cyborg and his princess will need the help of every ally they have if they wish
to see another sunrise.

Testing Truth And Breaking The Series Into Subseries

A reading buddy (big hugs) asked me, “Why did you break the cyborg
series into smaller series? Why didn’t you keep it as one long series?”

Cyborg Space Exploration was broken into a subseries because
I felt it had a different feel to it. The Cyborg Sizzle subseries was all about
the cyborgs escaping the Humanoid Alliance and venturing to their Homeland.
Cyborg Space Exploration is about…well…space exploration. (laughs) I know. I’m
not very creative when it comes to titles or series names.

Cyborg Space Exploration is more Star Trek than Star Wars.
And we all know fans of Star Trek aren’t necessarily fans of Star Wars. (Though
I am fans of both worlds. I LOVE them for very different reasons.)

I also wanted reading buddies to be able to start and stop
the longer series and creating subseries are my suggestions of when they could
best do that.

Sure, reading buddies of solely the Cyborg Space Exploration
subseries won’t know the full impact of how the cyborgs fought to escape the
Humanoid Alliance (in the Cyborg Sizzle subseries) and they won’t know how the Cyborg
Council deals with the Rebel Cyborgs (in the upcoming Rebel Cyborgs subseries)
but they will know the core stories of the crew of the Reckless.

That gives those reading buddies a bit of closure.

The upcoming Cyborg Rebels subseries won’t (hopefully) be
the final subseries. I have three more subseries planned thus far, including
the Next Generation Cyborgs subseries. (grins) I know many reading buddies are
waiting for those stories.

Testing Truth And Baddies

In fairy tales (which I LOVE), the good beings are often clearly
good and the bad beings are often clearly bad. The Princess never harms good
beings and the Wicked Witch never helps good beings. Their roles are clear. We usually
know which characters to cheer for.

The stories in the cyborg series, including Testing Truth,
aren’t fairy tales. (grins) Nancy, the heroine of Testing Truth, might be a
Princess but she harms some good beings (Were the Rebels in the beverage outlet
good? They are fighting for the ‘good’ side.). Truth, our cyborg hero, loves to
kill beings and he’s not too fussy about who he kills.

The Humanoid Alliance are the big baddies in the series yet
many of the heroines were once aligned (sometimes unwillingly, sometimes out of
lack of knowledge) with the Humanoid Alliance. Joan, the heroine of Releasing Rage,
worked for them as an engineer.

There are random minor characters who are aligned with the
Humanoid Alliance and do the right thing also—looking the other way when beings
escape, refusing to fight for them, walking away from situations they don’t
fully support.

No one is all good. No one is all bad.

(grins) Beings are complicated.

Throwback Thursday – Dark Cure

I remembered it was Thursday! Yay! Go, me! LOL This is especially
impressive as I’m 6 chapters into the first draft of Containing Malice (releasing
in February 2021) and I’m completely sucked into this cyborg romance. I love it
thus far.

Dark Cure is the last official story in the Refuge series but
it could very easily be the first story in the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series.
These two series are entwined. The last story in the Chamele Barbarian Warlords
series, Warlord’s Return (releasing in November), brings us back to the Refuge,
closing that circle.

Why are they entwined?

A Chamele, Oghul’s brother, lives in Kralj and Dita’s settlement. Oghul, the hero of Dark Cure, visits that brother and meets his gerel, Gisella, there. She’s the Refuge’s top medic and is a female no one messes with…except for our hero. (grins) He messes with her in some delightful ways.

Dark Cure has sexy times and humor, explosions and tenderness,
all the stuff I love to write. Oghul and Gisella are wonderful together. And we
get to visit with many of the previous couples in the Refuge series.

***

A warrior seeking forever faces a medic living in the moment.

Gisella, the Refuge’s medic, is dedicated to her role. She doesn’t have the space in her lifespan for love, a mate, or children. Healing is her entire focus.

But she’s also a female in her prime. She has needs, wants, cravings…especially for a scarred, long-haired barbarian warrior temporarily residing in the settlement. One fierce, soul-blasting, passion-filled encounter is all she is willing to give him before she returns to her duties.

Oghul, a Chamele Warlord’s Second-In-Command, has waited his entire lifespan to find his gerel, the being fated to be his. He’s thrilled to discover she wants him as savagely as he yearns for her.

His little human medic appeals to his primitive possessive side. Greatly. He wants to stamp his ownership all over her bountiful curves, take her back to his home planet, claim his fiery female permanently.

When Carinae E’s solitary sun rises, two determined beings with very different desires find their lifespans entwined. Their battle for emotional supremacy will span systems and alter destinies.

The universe will never be the same.

Dark Cure is a STANDALONE SciFi Romance set in a gritty, dark world.

Testing Truth And Found Families

Princess Nancy, the heroine of Testing Truth, is surrounded
by family.

She has her biological family. Her parents are the Queen and
the King and her two brothers are the Crown Prince and the Prince. Her arrangement
with her biological family is very business-like and extremely cold. She is not
seen as a daughter or a sister but as the Spare to the Heir. There are no hugs or
kisses, no ‘I love you’s, very few smiles and little warmth.

There’s a reason for that. The Queen feels she must always
put her Kingdom first. That might mean sacrificing one of her children. That’s
easier to do if she isn’t emotionally attached to them.

Thankfully, Princess Nancy also has a found family. The
relationship between her Royal Dresser, her Private Secretary and her Private
Guard might seem like duty-driven roles. But Marthe, Valentin, and Claude view
her as their own daughter. They would kill for her, die for her. They and their
love are always nearby.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I think of my reading and
writing buddies as part of our found family also. (group hugs) Like Princess
Nancy with her entourage, I suspect I’m not supposed to care as much as I do
about you…yet I do. Some of you have been with me for years and I love that. I
love you.

Testing Truth

A fun-loving cyborg gets serious about love.

***

Truth lives each moment as though it were his last. The
cyborg warrior rushes into danger, teases beings he shouldn’t provoke, accepts
every call of adventure he encounters.

When a prissy little human princess floats into the Rebel
structure Truth is occupying, seeking a mercenary to assist her and her unusual
entourage, he volunteers to be her warrior. She claims their assignment is
dangerous, warns him he might not survive the task.

That is exactly the type of fun he has been seeking.

Princess Nanette of the planet Royaume must rescue her
estranged brother from an enemy prison ship. That is her duty, and she has been
trained to always place the needs of her planet and her subjects before her
own. Nancy doesn’t have the freedom to indulge her passions for a certain
dark-haired, gray-skinned cyborg. Not permanently and not publicly.

But she is unable to resist the warrior. Truth, with his
laughing eyes, smiling lips, and rough hands, tempts her as no one else ever
has. He could be her one fleeting act of rebellion before she’s matched with
the powerful ruler her planet requires.

If they survive their current mission.

Their love is doomed. Their lifespans are at risk. This
cyborg and his princess will need the help of every ally they have if they wish
to see another sunrise.
