Pedicord Apartments was a novel, ghostwritten by Mavis Warrington at the onset and Janielle Potvin at later stages. The credited author was unknown. It was slated to be published by Carnegie Mellon University Press. (Star Trek: False Vacuum: "Scrap Yard Vegas") As a CMU Press-published novel, Pedicord Apartments was categorized as a cover art-prompted book. Because there were two authors and hence two parts, there were two credited authors, even though these two parts did not have enough content to be books by themselves.
