All A.J. Hall's ebooks are available in the industry standard ePub format as well as the MOBI format for the Amazon Kindle and other supporting devices.
ePub Format:
If you want to download the ePub ebooks individually then how you get them onto your device depends on which device or software your are using.
On up-to-date iOS (iPhone/iPad) devices (and many others) click the ePub download button and then select which app you want to read it in. You will need a suitable ePub reader on your device like the free iBooks or Stanza on iOS devices or Aldiko on Android.)
Alternatively for iOS devices download to your desktop and drag the ebooks from their download location onto the 'Library' section of iTunes . This will import them into the 'Books' section of iTunes. You then need to sync your device, ensuring that syncing 'Books' is turned on.
You could also download to your desktop and use a desktop ePub reader like Calibre or FBReader or use our OPDS catalogue with an on-line book library reader like the ibis reader or indeed a browser plugin like the EPUBReader plugin.
For other devices, please consult the reader manual or instructions, if you need help then please contact us.
Kindle (MOBI) Format:
For the Kindle maybe the easiest way is a direct download of the MOBI format ebooks from this website via the Kindle browser. Alternatively your could use the Kindle browser to navigate and bookmark our RSS Feed Ebook List which contains links to all the individual ebook pages from which you can download the ebooks.
You can also read MOBI format ebooks on the desktop and many other devices with the Kindle Reader software.
You can of course download to your desktop Mac or PC and then connect your Kindle via it's USB cable and transfer the ebooks in that way.
All our ebooks are free, have NO DRM (digital rights management) and contain no specific fonts so are extremely flexible.

These are loosely based upon the British Board of Film Classification.
They are meant as a rough quide only, these are FanFic ebooks, so concerned parents and anyone else with specific concerns should read them first and decide for themselves or contact us for further information.
Since these ebooks are mainly in the detective fiction genre, there is a considerable amount of non-graphic violence and characters are prone to die without notice. The language used is consistent with the genre and source materials.
For more information about the BBFC ratings visit the British Board of Film Classification. In conformity with BBFC practice, ratings are not increased simply because a relationship is same sex; the rating depends on the degree of explicitness of behaviour portrayed.

Learn about the different types on navigation on this site
Main Navigation
Our website is split into sections. Each section is an item on the main menu at the top of the page, This effectively let you move between sections.
Search and Sitemap
We also have a search box at the top of each page and a sitemap at the top of this page, to help you locate the information you require. If you still cannot find what you are looking for then please contact us.
Breadcrumb Link Navigation
This website has a 'breadcrumbs' link list on some pages. This enables you to see where you are within a section of the website, with click-able links back up that section's hierarchy.
Page Turn Navigation
In the footer of each page is a further set of navigation links. The 'Previous' and 'Next' links take you back or forward through the web site respectively. There is also a 'Top' link which jumps you to the top of the current page. The 'Previous' page, Next' page and 'Home' page navigational information is also contained within internal navigation (rel) links, which some browsers are able to utilise.
Other Navigation

Learn about how well this website validates.
XHTML
Much of this website validates as XHTML 1.0 Strict. Currently only a few pages are known to fail this validation: Any 'Map' pages because of some 'Google Map VML' elements we had to include for Internet Explorer and some of the pages with forms on. Some 'form' pages fail, which is due to a minor glitch with the forms layout caused by a small problem with the CMS (Content Management System). Bug reports have been logged and we hope this will be rectified soon. You can see if a page validates by clicking on the 'XHTML 1.0 Strict' option in the footer.
CSS
Most of the CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) validate, where they do not validate it is because the choice was to put functionality and usability above validation. You can see which pages CSS validates and which does not by clicking on the 'CSS' option in the footer. (Most often the CSS fails to validate because of the CSS rounded corners from CSS3, which the CSS2 validator cannot validate, and their corresponding proprietary extensions for Firefox and Safari.)
Accessibility
Almost every page of this web site should pass at least the W3C WCAG WAI-A machine tests and complies, we believe, with most, if not all of the obligatory subjective qualifications. We also believe that most pages comply with at least all the priority 1 guidelines of the W3 Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. This is a minimum level of compliance, with the exception of those pages which fail XHTML validation indicated above, we would expect all, but those pages listed below, to achieve 'AAA' or Priority 1, 2 and 3 in the automated accessibility tests. Other accessibility validators used were 'Cynthia ' and the 'Functional Accessibility Evaluator ' from the University of Illinois.
Whilst we appreciate the difference between passing automatic tests and real-life accessibility, we have made considerable efforts in that direction and hope we have a site which is accessible to most people.
