At the bottom of the page, there are two "shelves". The top shelf is the Book Shelf, a horizontal-scrolling library of works that I have written or co-written.
The pulldown menu above the Book Shelf filters what the shelf displays. It defaults to "Spotlight", which is a fancy way of asking, "Won't you support me by purchasing one of my published works?" Filter books by genre, type of fiction, and media formatting.
Scroll through the available titles (listed alphabetically), and then click on an image to load the work's summary. The summary may provide more scissors to access additional content, including reviews, discussions, and more.
Below the shelves, at the very bottom of the page, there is a button similar to the Contents button, which toggles the visibility of the shelves. Hide the shelves to expand the main body of information.
