Daniel Matton wasn't ready for an adventure, not until 3023 sent him into space on a journey to prehistoric times. The prehistoric animals test his patience, but Dan must endure all the pain and suffering to return home safely.                                                                                                          ***

Seventeen-year-old Daniel Matton, still grieving after his mother's death five years ago, is given the adventure of a lifetime when he's selected as the Star of 3023's PPMC Project for a journey through a black hole, wormhole, and white hole to prehistoric times. Now, does Dan want to be the Star? Heck no, but he has loved paleontology ever since a bittersweet memory with his mom twelve years earlier.

Programmed to resemble Dan's mother's personality, PPMC vows to keep him safe on his journey, but it's difficult when the stubborn teen constantly gets in trouble, not just with himself but also prehistoric anomalies: volcanic eruptions, eight-foot-long millipedes, terrifying saber-toothed cats, and above all... disaster.

Now nearly trapped in time, Dan and PPMC must work together to escape the geologic time scale before Dan's love for paleontology and the mighty Quetzalcoatlus prevent him from learning how to truly trust PPMC and "let go" of the burden that's weighed him down for five years.

A teen, a starship, and Becca...

“Bad little girl, that’s what you’re acting like,” Jake responds with a witty remark as Gwen places her face mere inches away from him. “Good little boy, all bark and no bite.”

Jake and Gwen were like two peas in a pod, despite only meeting for a day during a vacation. Complete strangers turned into immediate friends. But once vacation ended, and with no guarantees of ever seeing each other again, they exchanged emails.

But it wouldn’t be long until they met again. Jake’s family was moving into a new town, and it turns out Gwen lives in that neighborhood and attends the same high school he’ll be attending.

With the chance to reunite and possibly blossom their relationship into something else, Jake and Gwen embark on their journey through high school together.

As the Octopus Man returns from the Bermuda Triangle, Makenna Angelia Delling teams up with Merlin the Great's ninja-like fairy apprentice, Tracey, to defeat him. However, what will happen when Tracey learns he is the K.T. Magic Murderer?

***

The Atlantica Massacre was only the beginning.

Fourteen-year-old Makenna Delling is a Metamorphic Fairy, a rare fairy who comes from a family in which one person had to have been a fairy. Except, who is that one person?

To help find answers regarding her past, Makenna teams up with seventeen-year-old Tracey, a mysterious fairy who hails from Merlin's Island. Together, they are dragged into the flight of their lives after they learn that the Octopus Man has returned from the Bermuda Triangle, and he is eager to kill Tracey.

Mustering up all her courage, Makenna must find a way to stop Tracey from becoming who he truly is. She has to help him defeat the Octopus Man himself if he is to change his fate. The stakes are high for both teens, especially since Tracey could very well be one of the greatest threats in the entire Magic World.

Who is Makenna? Who is Tracey? Most importantly, why must Makenna find her long-lost family member?

It's so she can call herself a True Metamorphic Fairy.

Mostly dumb things highschoolers say. Something to read when you need a laugh. Mentions of sex, cursing, on the random occasions killing. Please don't let the massive number of updates change your mind about reading this half of them are less than 10 words long. Since there's no M15+ rating I'm chucking it in here.  Inspiration from Quotes out of context I heard by RampantStrawberry

Cover by Esfandiar C. Hale

Sometimes your appearance can decide much. If you are beautiful, everyone wants to befriend you. So, what about someone, who they do not accept just because you do not fit the beauty standards they came up with. Sadly, I was not lucky to be born as a handsome boy. That’s why my mother is probably the only one to admire me. That’s why I have to get bullied by bullies and their friends and hide that I have a crush on the most beautiful girl in the world that will never pay attention to me and would prefer the irresistible but stupid and mean boy over me.

Un raro quanto terrificante evento sta per sconvolgere la vita dell'Islanda. Tutto inizia in modo spettacolare, durante l'arrivo del Natale, ma poi le cose iniziano ad evolvere verso la catastrofe.
