The Shelf.

// one door in the mall · this one is mine

Everything on this page I wrote or built: field manuals, toolkits, and weird fiction. Keep-forever files, not a subscription to your own work. No countdowns · no fake scarcity

The rest of the Mall is makers I back — this shelf is the part with my name on it.

Frequently asked questions

Is everything on The Shelf yours?

Yes. The Shelf is the one door in the Mall that's mine — every field manual, toolkit and story on this page is something I wrote or built. The other doors hand you off to makers I back.

How do I buy?

Checkout runs through Gumroad. You get the file, it's yours to keep, and nothing on this shelf expires or gets pulled out from under you.

Do I have to buy them one at a time?

No. The All-Access pass opens every book, field guide, course and record for one flat yearly rate, and the rate you lock holds for as long as you keep the pass. Software tools, the programs you run yourself, are sold separately and are not part of the pass.

Can I add more than one thing to the cart?

Yes, but each item still checks out on its own — Gumroad has no single checkout for a stack of things. Add what you want, then work down the list in the cart tray. Nothing charges until you click a Buy button.
