Meet USAF Engineer Master Sergeant Briggs. The poor chap thought he was in for a dull birthday off-duty, but then he gets a mysterious gift from Area 51. Before he knows it, he's got Madison and her loquacious parrot, Sir Rupert, literally falling out of time and into his lap. Talk about a surprise party!
When I first “met” my cyborgs, they were still robots, human consciousnesses hiding inside the robots. Over time, as they began to transition back into human form, I took friends’ advice and transitioned them into their own series within the Project Universe series.
So here’s the timeline:
Lost Valyr – The robots appear in the Garradian Galaxy for the first time. Exciting things happen and they become allies with the Garradians and the Earth Expedition.
Maestra Rising – Some of the robots begin the transition to human form for important plot reasons in the story.
Then we break out the robots into their own series with:
Each of these books deals with at least one robot becoming a cyborg, having an adventure, and finding true love. None of these things come easy for them or for me as the author (I keep forgetting that when I put them into near-impossible situations, I have to figure out how to get them out—though they do help me in mysterious ways).
So the first four books have been released, and MicroP will release on May 18, 2023, completing the series for this year (there are still a couple of robots who need stories).
I love all my cyborgs and have been excited about their stories, but when I saw the amazing cover from my even more amazing cover designer, Melody Simmons, I immediately wanted to write his story.
I had to wait to finish writing AzumC, and this year provided with me with some further challenges to overcome in writing both books, but it does feel like I’m me again! And it feels good.
So here’s the blurb for MicroP:
How far will he go to save the woman he loves?
Mic, a cyborg with exceptional abilities, has spent far too long planet-side. Restless, he escapes into space aboard his newfound ship… and stumbles upon a dangerous threat that will change his life forever.
Remi has followed in her grandmother’s footsteps. A brilliant and determined explorer, she has always dreamed of learning if there is life beyond her solar system. Her work as a crew member on a space station finally gives her the chance to explore the unknown… and search for answers about her grandmother’s lost spaceship.
Mic’s appearance shakes Remi’s world. Not only is an alien cyborg flying her grandmother’s ship, he also delivers devastating news. Remi knows if she is to discover the truth, she must learn to trust Mic and join forces with him to stop the threat to her world and outsmart an enemy who will stop at nothing to destroy her people.
Navigating the dangerous landscape of space, Mic and Remi’s feelings for each other grow even as the danger around them threatens to destroy their dreams. Will their love be strong enough to survive the challenges that lie ahead, or will they fall victim to the enemy’s wrath?
Dive into this latest installment in the thrilling Cyborg Chronicles!
And I really hope you will dive into the book, the series, whatever you haven’t read yet, and take a wild ride with me and the cyborgs!
Perilously yours,
