Blurb for We Won’t Feel A Thing
Seventeen-year-old best friends Rachel and Riley are in forbidden love.
Their situation’s. . .complicated. And their timing couldn’t be worse—in just one month, he leaves for California and she starts college in New York. The absolute last thing they need is a reckless secret-love confession mucking up their perfect plans.
There’s only one logical option: scientific intervention.
Desperate for a quick fix, they sign up for WAVES, an experimental self-help program led by mysterious scientist David A. Kerning. He swears his Forbidden Love Module can turn passion back to safe platonic friendship in “six easy steps.”
But when you arm yourself with an untested program, side effects are unpredictable.
And sometimes when you fight love—love fights back.
About The Book Cover
I had this cover idea in my head pretty early on—the waves are a recurring image, and there’s also a Significant Umbrella in the story. I worked closely with my awesome cover designer, Mindy Dunn, who took the basic idea and made it beauteous. The book is whimsical and romantic (and hopefully funny), and I think the cover captures the tone really well. I hope you like it!
About the Author
J.C. Lillis lives in Baltimore with her patient family and a ragtag band of tropical fish, some of which will be dead by the time you read this. WE WON’T FEEL A THING is her second YA novel; she also wrote HOW TO REPAIR A MECHANICAL HEART, because she wanted to read a book about two sci-fi fanboys in love and there wasn’t one handy. She loves koi ponds, abandoned amusement parks, and peanut butter & banana sandwiches. She hates paper cuts, cabbage, and writing bios.

State of the Rhys Jan 2014
Here is the State of the Rhys
Wow.
Much happenings.
Too much.
Many things.
Let’s see… let’s go series by series, shall we?
Dirty Series, the Cole McGinnis Mysteries
Dirty Deeds will be out on March 28th, 2014. The next book in the series will be Down and Dirty, out later this year. Down and Dirty will be Bobby and Ichi’s book. I’m still contemplating if I will write this in Bobby first person or double POV between Bobby and Ichi third person.
In audiobook news, the Dirty series’ narrator has been chosen and contracted. I really liked what he did and his voice choices were good. I’ll let you know when things get going on that and the audiobooks are released.
Tequila Mockingbird is finished and contracted with Dreamspinner. It will be out in June 2014 but before then, The Devil’s Brew will be out first. It is a short Miki and Kane novella that leads into Tequila Mockingbird.
I’ve started the next Hellsinger Novel, Duck Duck Ghost. It features Wolf and Tristan. Will I be bringing Cin in later? Yes. Because really, he needs his own book.
Speaking of paranormal, I do have another paranormal project with a favourite author of mine. I actually have to talk to her about when we can discuss it. But that’s on the horizon. A couple of projects really. But ah, I want to start it before I begin doing the happy release info dance
Clockwork Tangerine! Ah, steampunk. Sorta. Really, it’s mostly a romance set in a steampunky environment. It’s about Marcus and Robin and how they find love in one another. That’s out February 19th. It’s a little bit different but I really enjoyed the lushness of it.
Okay, anything else I’m forgetting? Anything you all wanna know?
Sid Love is Coming to Dreamspinner Press!

Cover Artist: Paul Richmond
BLURB: Bradley Parker has waited twenty years for Mr. Right, and on Valentine’s Day, he finally finds him. It’s love at first sight, and Brad even loses his virginity to the man of his dreams. But when he wakes up the next morning unable to remember anything—even what the man looked like—his best friend, Leslie, is convinced he imagined the whole thing. Brad knows he didn’t make up the best night of his life, but he has no idea of the danger he’s putting himself in as he struggles to recall the details of his perfect man. His search may lead him to parts of New York City he never dreamed existed and a war being waged in the shadows.
PRE ORDER LINK: Holding on to Hope
Sid Love grew up in one of busiest cities in the world, Mumbai, listening to the excerpts of Indian epics from his father every night. While it served as an inspiration back in time, he has always had an ambitious mind. In 2007, when he had just turned sixteen, he decided that he would make his lifelong dream come true—to become a well-known, respected author some day.
Ask him and he would refuse to accept that he is obsessed with books. Or movies. Or TV shows. Addicted may even be the right word. He is a die-hard fan of Jane Austen’s romance novels and loves to reread them time and again.
You can find him on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sid.love.16?ref=tn_tnmn or tweet him anytime: https://twitter.com/FatefulMercy, or simply e-mail him at sidlovethewriter@live.in.
Good News: Eric Update
TJ Writes: I know I said I needed to take a break and maybe I do, but I couldn’t just leave it sounding so down.
In one day, this new hospital has done more for Eric than the previous hospital did in the entire two weeks. They are giving us HOPE. They are talking to him directly, treating him like a goddamn human being. He has already been seen by doctors and therapists and anyone else that can find some way to help him. They plan on having him up and in a wheelchair as soon as possible to get him used to being upright again.
And the best part? His left foot moved. HE WAS MOVING HIS LEFT FOOT. Not a fucking nerve reaction. Not a fucking glitch. He was MOVING HIS LEFT FOOT.
Some of these days are hard. Some of them are dark. But then some days, like today, I am filled with so much hope that I am about to burst. It sucks that he is so far away, but FUCK that previous hospital. Fuck them for trying to take our hope away. We may not get back to where we were, but it’s not going to be because we haven’t fought for it.
Let’s GO, let’s GO, let’s GO!!
