  There is a dark secret haunting the Sharpe family. They are strange and remote, and when Stephanie Topham is told she must work with Nicola Sharpe in a science project at school, she is horrified. As part of their project, they have to make a pinhole camera. But when they take a photo with the camera, there is a ghost-like figure in their picture. This figure becomes a key to opening up Nicola Sharpe and revealing the secrets of her family. Through a series of appearances in various photos the ghost directs Nicola and Stephanie into a past that is full of revelations, twists and surprises. Some are painful, some tear at the fabric of the Sharpe family.  
  But the unraveling of Nicola's past is the saving of the Sharpes, and, in a final twist it gives Nicola something more amazing than anything she has ever dared contemplate, even in her deepest dreams.  
  'John Kitchen creates a great plotline with Nicola's Ghost, a story with a twist for pre-teens ... a good book. One I will be giving my daughter to read.' Reader's review - The Self Publishing Magazine.

  The Genius of Lancelot Biggs - A...

  The Genius of Lancelot Biggs by Nelson S. Bond is one of the most beloved entries in the Lancelot Biggs series—a blend of clever humor, scientific imagination, and classic spacefaring adventure. Biggs is the quintessential “reluctant genius,” a bumbling yet brilliant space engineer whose accidental brilliance repeatedly saves his shipmates aboard the Saturnian Queen. In The Genius of Lancelot Biggs, Bond captures the charm of golden-age science fiction with a comedic twist: Biggs invents improbable solutions to cosmic disasters while maintaining a disarming humility that makes him both heroic and human. 
  The Lancelot Biggs stories first appeared in Amazing Stories and Fantastic Adventures throughout the 1930s and 1940s, later collected in Lancelot Biggs: Spaceman (1950). The series stood out for mixing slapstick wit and genuine scientific curiosity at a time when pulp sci-fi often leaned heavily on melodrama. Biggs was Bond’s most famous creation—a character whose inventive blunders and bursts of genius inspired later comic sci-fi heroes like Douglas Adams’s Arthur Dent. 
  Nelson S. Bond (1908–2006) was an American author, playwright, and literary agent whose fiction bridged pulp science fiction, fantasy, and adventure. Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Bond became a prolific contributor to magazines like Blue Book, Amazing Stories, and Astounding Science Fiction. His work often featured strong characterizations and humor, qualities that distinguished him from many of his contemporaries. Beyond Lancelot Biggs, Bond wrote the Meg the Priestess fantasy series and numerous tales of human resilience and irony. Later in life, he turned to radio, television, and theater, earning accolades for his versatility.
