The Cycler Series
The Cyler Series: What would you do if you woke up one day as a member of the opposite sex? For Jill McTeague, this is no hypothetical question. It’s real life!

The funny thing about that blurb is that I didn’t even realize I’d written a comedy until I read that. Then again, I did spend a few years doing comedy punch-ups on B movies with names like Downhill Willie so I guess it’s all part of some screwball continuum. Here’s the synopsis from the back of the book:

Here it is. And 
The cover looks great and the book sounds fantastic. I cannot wait to give it a read. I am way proud of your perseverance, happy to see talent shine and commend you for your devotion to the craft of writing. I hope the book and you become international sensations.
The book is bloody brilliant. And very very very very funny. I can’t wait to read the final version.
Congratulations!
Congrats, Lauren! I love the cover–hey, is that you in the bra and boxers? I can’t wait to read the book.
Thanks guys! I’m unbelievably nervous about this book, so I’ll be thinking of your lovely comments while I’m biting my nails.
And no, it’s not me in the boxers. I’m a briefs man.
Way to go, Lauren. We can say we knew you when… Can’t wait to read the book. We are so very proud of you.
Thanks, PitterPatti. Don’t worry. No one will every link you to this book. You’re reputation is safe.
congrats!
got any arcs for blogger friends?
Yeah! I am really looking forward to finally getting to read this.
But…I want to see the back cover too
Very cool. Look forward to reading it. Congratulations, Lauren.
I’m out of town for a few weeks. Maybe when I get back, I’ll post the back cover of the book too. Claire, I’m out of ARCs but when I get back, I’m going to ask my publisher for more.
Hey, didn’t I see that photo on Amazon a couple of months ago…?
Congrats on the press and the impending release. I’m very much looking forward to reading this.
How about a Kindle edition?
I just finished the ARC of the book and can’t wait to get a copy for our library’s YA collection. It’s one of the first books I’ve read in a while that in no way felt stale or redone… I’m now in love with all of your characters (as if they need the love of an invisible reader to complicate their already bizarre romance situations) and am hoping this year goes very quickly so I can meet them again. Thanks for the refreshing read… keep it up!
Thanks, Debbie. I’m so pleased you liked the book. It warms my heart.I shall convey your love directly to Jack, Jill, etc. They can take it. They’ve been through a lot.
Alan, I’ll talk to my publisher about a Kindle edition. I know nothing about it as of yet, but am firmly committed to spreading the Cycler meme throughout the universe by all means at my disposal.
thanks for the great information…
i love this book are u goin to make a sequel?
Hi Kylie. I’m just finishing up the sequel now. It’ll be out next fall. Thanks for reading!
Great book! Very different… didn’t really know what to expect… even thought I read the back etc. I love how you start out w/ a question to write your book. Thanks for showing teens the ability to see past a person’s gender and liking them for who they are, not what they or have! Any ideas on what the sequel’s name is going to be or if you have other books in the works?
Hi Diana. Glad you liked it. The sequel is called (Re)Cycler and it will be out in September, 2009. Right now I’m working on a new novel about teens and surveillance, which hopefully will come out the following autumn.
