There are also other research documents and two novels, one novel 
completed in 2019, and a sequel, being published as chapters as each 
chapter is completed.

They are available online, free to read, no registration needed, and the 
webspace is hosted on a PlusNet server, not on my computer. I upload 
over the internet. All of the documents and the novels are deposited for 
Legal Deposit with The British Library, and Legal Deposit receipted by 
The British Library.
