The “Halferne Anthology” was supposed to be a single book containing six short stories. Just some fun, in-universe backstories to play with when I wanted to stretch into new genres and styles of writing. As with all things, I got ahead of myself: the first three of those short stories are now complete drafts of 70K+ words each, two others are about halfway done, and the last one is just now getting a fresh outline. The goal is to have everything in a “readable draft” state by the end of the year.
The stories all take place in the same universe, in a chronology, but they are in slightly different genres and are standalone, though a tiny through-arc connects them and is resolved at the end of The Halferne Bodhi. The arc is only important as a setup for the next series of books, so don’t feel like you have to read them in order or read all of them. Think of them more as the solo movies before all of our heroes met up in The Avengers.
