Dead Vessel
By Amanda Fasciano
Having died in the line of duty, Detective Cadence Riley has been recruited to help police haunted locations so that the spirits don’t give too much away to the living. She and her partner have also helped protect the living from non-human evil spirits. All is going according to procedure until someone alive appears before her.
Cadence has been reunited with her brother–who died ten years before when the majority of coeds in his dorm were slaughtered. Restoration of the old Victorian style dorm has begun as the college is intent on opening the building up once more. The construction does more than disturb the spirits of the dead, however.
The spirit of an old classmate, one not killed in the massacre, appears out of the blue. As Cadence and Snow begin to put the pieces of the puzzle regarding his sudden appearance in place, it becomes clear that more is at stake. This case, for both the living and the dead, is as dangerous as a raging fire. Someone is bound to get burned.

Manure: The Adventure of Jim Brown Godwin
By Peggy Godwin
This is not a once upon a time story with fire breathing dragons, aliens from outer space, nor giants climbing down beanstalks.
Even something as disgusting as manure can take on magical qualities that lead to adventures in your own backyard. In the summer of 1942, while the world was at war, Jim Brown Godwin found himself covered from head to toe in manure. This is his story, how he got there, what he did, and – most importantly – how he got out.
This is a real story complete with bratty brothers, adults who never grew up, and some very ordinary, everyday heroes… and, oh yes, manure. There’s no mistaking it. If you see it, smell it, or step in it, you know it. Call it poop, dung, do-do, cow pies, scat, turds – or as your grandmother might politely say, excrement, bowel movement, feces, or defecation, there’s only one word for it – Yuck!
