The princess. The liar. The thief. The bully. The wuss. 
  Five troubled teens from all over the globe, plus their inexperienced driver and elderly chaperone, have unexpectedly been stranded in the exotic-bizarre rainforest world of Borneo.  
  It was supposed to be a year-end leadership seminar. It was supposed to help them grow, their minds expanded by the stunning landscape and the exotic wildlife.
  In reality? Not so much. 
  Lost and separated in an uncaring rain forest with flying snakes, abusive primates, and marauding jungle life, it's an unremarkable little bird-a cuckoo shrike-that seems to be calling all the shots. Each member of the Cuckoo Colloquium is forced to face their own unique challenges, both savage and fantastic ... or die trying.
  Because as it turns out, the jungle has no intention of letting them go.
  Debut author Michael A. Greco's The Cuckoo Colloquium is a thrilling story of hope, survival, and pushing past the limits our world draws around us.

Book 5- 1969 (Michael Jackson) by MusicAndMeMJ
31 parts Complete
COMPLETE Welcome. The prologue to our journey has ended as of now, and the real adventure is about to begin. Kayla and Michael have somehow miraculously made it through 3 1/2 years of their journey. The good news is, they are still in one piece. The bad news is, they're becoming famous. Fame means much more than meets the eye, and when the pair figure it out, there is no turning back. That's only the beginning of their problems. With the pair's spiritual bond growing stronger as the second passes, it becomes a secret they must hide from society- and the Motown studio. It will be a challenge to hide, but Heaven only knows what could happen if someone found out. Kayla finally turns a decade old- and a decade means more responsibility. That isn't much of a problem for Kayla, who is really twice as old on the inside, but the pressure becomes weighty. Michael becomes just as much, if not more, preoccupied with his own work- and he turns eleven years old! But as much as they may complain, there are perks to this year. Michael gets to temporarily live with an idol of his, the whole family moves to California, and the Jacksons and Wells finally get a taste of luxury. Unfortunately, this lavish life comes at a terrible cost... Will Michael and Kayla make it past yet another year? Will the peer pressure, the pain, the misfortune, and the daily mishaps of growing up become too much of a burden for them, and will they fall into ruins? Only 1969 can tell. I can guarantee that this will be much longer than the previous two books. Speaking of which, shall I leave links to my first and most recent books?

Matt was a track star like his brother, but everything changed following his Junior year of high school. His girlfriend Kris along with one of her friends were killed in a head on car accident involving a drunk driver. Even though Matt was in the car with them he somehow survived. After the accident nothing seems the same for Matt, and despite finishing out his senior year, his motivation to move forward is gone. Desperately in search of something new, Matt turns to a martial arts school that his best friend had recommended. Set in the beautiful beach town of Oceanside this first person narrative focuses on key experiences that Matt goes through during his first year of training. The novel takes the reader on a journey following him as he struggles with the demands of karate training, as he deals with new relationships surrounding him, and most importantly as he learns to live with the memories of the accident that while becoming more clear, still haunt and hold him back. The variety of people he meets as part of his training, some more eccentric than others, push him to try and answer the call; including the "beautiful" brown belt Cammie, who helps him try and fully face the memories of the accident. The idea is to showcase the world of hard core martial arts and integrate it into the challenges of overcoming serious trauma. It highlights how the power of being a part of a community in the fascinating world of martial arts can be surprising, challenging, yet transformative. With the advent of a series like "Cobra Kai" I believe there is interest in coming of age narratives that are set within the sometimes bizarre and mysterious world of martial arts. I personally love John Green's work and hopefully there is at least a taste of what he offers in terms of intensity and depth of character. The following "tags" I think would fit well in trying to describe the narrative : coming of age, drama, tragedy, karate, kata, fighting, romance, and recovery.

{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16

I am gonna regret writing this- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Okay so this will be a female reader insert book, and this will be my first ever reader insert book so be prepared for some noob action on this kind of thing. I may also put a couple of my own LMK OC's in here too, so just prepare for that as well. (This may become just a Wukong x Macaque x reader, but I'm not sure yet heh-) I DO NOT OWN LMK, I ONLY OWN THE READER(Well some things about the reader, but other than that the reader belongs to you) AND MY OWN OC'S!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Being the older sister of the Monkey Kid is weird, especially if people think he is older than you. Just because your smaller and younger looking doesn't mean you don't pay the taxes. You chase the teenagers hyper ass around all day long, making sure he doesn't get himself killed: just because he has Monkey King's powers, doesn't mean he is immortal. Your not really special yourself, you don't have any cool powers like your bro, you're just a regular 20 year old- Or so you fucking thought. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: Cursing, violence, some blood(?), maybe some sexual themes
