A large research space ship also needs people to do the daily jobs the scientists don’t want to do. As cook Betty Sebring said, they need "plumbers and electricians and janitors and all sorts of people.” So Pete Johnson, a master plumber forced into early retirement, took a job on the Keppler, a 400-passenger research vessel. He quickly found out how important his job was when he encountered the problems left by the former plumber. The biggest problem was maintenance on the system's water system. As was Bill West, the ship's Chief Engineer explained: “If we had tried to carry enough water for a crew of 400 out for several years, it would have weighed more than the rest of the ship combined, and would have more than tripled our size. It’s much more efficient and effective to recycle the water. Clean it up and use it again.” Part of that process was a river and the gardens. In the words of First Mate Perkins, "The engineers who designed this vessel decided to make it as self-sustaining as possible, so all the food you will eat was grown on the station. We’re a closed ecosystem, and it works better that way.” Pete has his work cut out for him, performing long-overdue maintenance, fixing plumbing design flaws and helping uncover an espionage plot. "Plumber Pete Goes to Space" is the first in a series of how a good man in a 'normal' job keeps the ship running at top shape and builds a life in space.

"Reality was now a nightmare I couldn't wake up from."When a paranormal research team spends the night in the notoriously haunted Smoky Mountain Sanatorium, they imagine it will be like any other investigation. However, when the normal things that go bump in the night turn into screams, with investigators running from things they can't see, they realize it will be nothing like other investigations. Determined not to let the ghosts of the sanatorium win, they stick together and stay until morning, not leaving until the sun comes up. What the team fails to realize is that they might be able to leave the sanatorium, but they'll never really be able to get away. Once the ghosts of Smoky Mountain Sanatorium are awakened, so are your worst fears.
