I'm the reason why, Hannah.
Sorry about that.
Formatting for paperback takes time and I can't seem to stop writing new stories long enough to do that formatting.
It IS on my to-do list, however.

Hi Wendy!

All the cyborgs, except for Rage, are technically virgins but they share information so they don't act like the expected Romance Novel virgin hero acts.

All the cyborg stories - Cyborg Sizzle (which is the first), Cyborg Space Exploration and Rebel Cyborgs. Releasing Rage is the very first story in the Cyborg Saga. Rage isn't a virgin hero, however. Breathing Vapor is the second story and Vapor IS a virgin.

(tackle hugs Janice) Awww... I'm so happy you are enjoying the cyborg stories, my friend.
And YES, the first story in the new section of the cyborg saga will feature Odium (we first meet him in Under Strain). Grin, Strive and Raw from Breathing Vapor will finally have their stories told in this new series. Oh and Intrepid (from Releasing Rage) finds his genetic match!
I haven't yet figured out how I can return to Facebook. The cyborgs won't help me. I suspect that is because they prefer I spend that time writing their stories. (shakes head and grins)
But I'm determined to uncover a way to return.
Thank you so much for reading my stories, my friend. And you can always find me here on Goodreads.

You're not losing your mind, my friend!
I used to happily be on Facebook.
Then my author page got targeted by some baddies.
I immediately notified Facebook and they responded by kicking me off their platform permanently.
(shrugs)
I can't seem to get back on Facebook.
But I AM on Twitter and Instagram and, of course, here.
And I'm always merely an email away.

Power doesn't have a son. The face he viewed was that of his best friend, one of his brethren. They escaped the Humanoid Alliance together.

Audiobook is on my to do list but getting that next story written is the top priority for me right now.
Right now, with everything going on (PLEASE stay safe, my friend), that is taking up my entire bandwidth.

The D Model whose story I'm writing (Truth) is causing more chaos than giving me assistance.

Hi Fay!
Awww... thank you so much for reading my cyborg stories. (tackle hugs) That you're enjoying them makes me so happy!
I don't, as of right now, have an ARC team. My pre-order reading buddies always receive the stories first.
Thank you so much for reaching out to me and for reading my stories!

Foteini,
Thank you so much for reading my cyborg stories. (tackle hugs) I really appreciate it.
We have three and a half more stories left in the Cyborg Space Exploration series. Dominance and Dissent will be releasing on Tuesday. Passion Surge, the free December short story, my thank you to you and other awesome readers, will feature Surge, the medic cyborg trying desperately to return to the Reckless. I will be telling North's story after that and then Truth's story (which is destined to be a blast - grins).
After that, there will be a 5 story series, which will focus on the damaged cyborgs (the B model will have his story told). The 5th story in that series will belong to Power...well, he'll share that story with his female but you know him. He'll assume the story is all about him.
The reason for this delay is his female is gathering her power (pun intended - grins) so she can more easily put her arrogant b@st@rd of a cyborg in his place. Power respects strength. He needs a female who can rival him in that area.
It WILL be worth waiting for. I'm not certain about much but I DO know that. The finale of that part of the cyborg series will be explosive.

Thank you so much for reading Cyborg Sizzle.
I split the series with Cyborg Space Exploration.
That 5 story series will follow the adventures of the Reckless, Vector's ship, as the crew explores the Cyborg-controlled sector.
The first story in the series is Choosing Chuckles. We first heard of Chuckles in Releasing Rage. He was the adorably grumpy cyborg with the damaged knee.
Doc's Orders is the second story and that will be releasing on July 12th. Doc also appeared in Releasing Rage. He was the cyborg who realized the 'illness' Joan was suffering from.
The Cyborg's Secret Baby also resides outside of the official Cyborg Sizzle series. Some of that story occurs before the rebellion and some of it occurs after the rebellion. I didn't want it to mess up the series' linear storytelling.
I have a gazillion stories I want to write around the cyborgs. Powers needs his story told. And I also want to tell the story of the cyborgs who were left behind during the rebellion. Not all of them were able to escape. Of course, I'd love to tell the stories of the offspring, the next generation, the first born free.
Thank you once again for reading my stories!

We will definitely get Power's story! The Cyborg Space Exploration series is leading up to his story and wow, it will be a powerful one (pun intended - grins).
When Kralj mentioned preferring to have only one of their kind within his walls, he was referring to Mayhem. He knew Mayhem would stay with Imee.
However, we WILL be returning to the Refuge. The 6th and final story in the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series brings us back there. We will have an update on the triplets (they will be fully mature and causing chaos) and there's a special surprise for Kralj and Dita.

Awww... thank you for reading my series, Martina. It makes me happy that you enjoy them. (tackle hugs)
I had planned to end the Refuge series after Dark Fire but the Medic demanded her story be told and then Oghul, her hero, showed up, drinking himself into darkness in the beverage outlet.
Dark Cure will be a bridge story between the Refuge series and the upcoming Barbarian Warlord series. I'll be writing four stories in that series. It will feature the Chamele Warlords, starting with Khan, the Warlord Hulagu admires so much.
Will we return to the Refuge? We likely will. The universe is all connected.
Oh and our FREE December story this year will feature Vicuska's 'heroic' mission. She'll be joined by Arsenal, one of the cyborgs.
Thank you once again for reading my stories. Reach out any time you have a question! I could talk about them forever. (grins)

Sorry about that! I'm having issues with my hosting service. It should be resolved by Monday (though they told me it should be resolved by today so...).
It is aggravating. I've lost a week of writing (I'm supposed to be finishing off the freebie December short story this week) but hey, that's technology.

Balvan's story (tentatively called Dark Strength) will be releasing in February 2018, Moriah. Expect to see a baddie from Rhea and Paloma's past.
Note: Paloma is NOT Balvan's love interest. She's too young for him. He sees her as a being to take care of and he needs someone who is capable of spoiling him. He's a big being with a soft heart (and a tendency to smush skulls).
Thank you so much for reading the Refuge series!

Of the couples I've written, my favorite is always the most recent couple I've written. Right now, it is Kralj and Dita from Dark Thoughts. He's a scarred monster. She's an equally scarred assassin. They've both done very bad things yet they are magical as a couple.
Soon, I suspect it will be Ghost and Lethe from Ghost Of A Machine, my May cyborg release. These two beings are damaged yet, again, they work as a couple.
