Keely Staub has grown up. At least that's what she thinks has happened. No longer a naive eighteen year old being introduced to a music industry that's equal parts grandeur and grime, she might even be considered a veteran. At just twenty six, she's lived almost too much of a life in the intervening years since she first came to New York. A great love and a great band, not to mention more than a few unsavoury addictions picked up along the way in the time honoured traditions of the rock stars before her. And she gave it all up - except the rock star part, of course. That was a different Keely Staub, a more innocent and wild one all at the same time. She's determined that person and all the things that came with her will stay in the past, and has a very clear path laid in front of her. A measured, smart, hopefully one day respected, path. The problem is the past refuses to remain the past.

In life there are things that are said, and then there are those that remain unsaid. For Keely Staub, her life mostly remained in the latter category. She kept the one true love, music, hidden from even her best friends. But when one song changed the world she lived in, shaking it to it's very core, everything she knows is about to change. Her future and a past even hidden from her collide as she wades through a world she'd never dared to dream of, allowing her half heart to maybe find an equally broken one in the unlikely source of Seth Ryan.

On an expedition to the famous wreck of 'Titanic', 16-year-old Marley Faulkner discovers a mysterious journal, and feels as if she's finally found someone who understands her. Full of the tragic tales of a forgotten soul, the book's ending leaves Marley mourning for a girl she’s never even met. Or has she? The journal seems to be written for Marley, describing emotions she's certain nobody else in the world could feel but her. Could there be something that the girl in the journal, written nearly a century ago, is trying to tell her? And why does every possible explanation lead back to a single golden locket? Soon, Marley finds that through the locket--and the help of some new, unexpected friends--reaching the past and the girl from the journal isn’t as impossible as she thought. She's a time-traveler now, in a strange place where things are not always what they seem, and in a time where hundreds of lives are on the line. And she's the only one who knows enough to save them all. But how can Marley save anyone from the past when she can’t even remember there’s a present? How can she be a hero when the love of her life may be the very one who’s making her forget? And that's not all--she may only have four days left to live. ~Winner of the 2011 WATTY AWARDS.~ Inspired by the film 'Titanic.' Co-written by TEAtitanicfan and bluecanary446. Edited by Sawyercat17, Mutation, and snowwhite. Cover image entitled "Joy" by 'light-from-Emirates' on Deviantart.

Lily Crown. What's the first thing that comes to mind? Innocent right? Wrong! She's the biggest delinquent there is. She makes keying the principle's car look like finger painting in kindergarten. She's been to jail 7 times! The things she does leaves everyone in shock. She's been kicked out of 22 schools in each country. Her permanent record is a file a foot thick. She has made the up most respected schools crumble, literally. Tell her what to do and you'll wake up in your underwear, floating in a lake on a mattress, with every single person laughing. Oh and she video tapes everything she does and posts the outcome on YouTube. Her parents are the richest, most respected lawyers ever. She hates them. For most of her life she was forced to blend and be the biggest nerd ever known to ANY school ever. She got fed up with it. She threw everything away and became who she REALLY was. She started wearing black, dark blues, dark purples, and neon colors. She changed her hair from always in a tight, blond (dyed) bun to her natural black hair. She dyed it dark blue and pink streaks and let it flow in natural smooth waves. She got tattoos and piercings. She comes home one day to find a note. And she can't believe what is reads. Her parents left her and are sending her to a "Safe Haven" for "troubled teens". Her already bad anger issues turn worst. She snaps at EVERYONE and vowed never to let ANYONE in ever again. And this delinquent's version of never is never easy to crack............ But at this school Lily attracts the interest of the badest of the bad. Will they destroy her or become her new family she longs for? Or will they all turn on her the moment they find out what happened in her past to make everyone leave? Will they be like everyone else and turn their back on her or stick with her with worst comes to worst? A story that will make you cry, scream in annoyance, and laugh until you can't breathe. **Cover Credit due to Hazza_Bear_Love**
