The Big List – Prose Poetry Code

(Current as of 01/03/2022.)

I’ve written a lot of stories. So many that it’s often hard to keep track, even for me. I’ve released quite a few of them, while others I’ve only alluded to in the occasional post. This page, then, is going to serve as a place to collect all the info about my works.

I’ve tried to sort these into series where possible. Standalone books, novellas, and short stories are all put together at the end, unless I intend to give them sequels. In those cases—Nocturne is a good example—I’ll give them their own set of entries.

Also, I’m using a kind of ranking system to indicate my progress. Before each title is a number in parentheses, ranging from 1 to 5. That shows how far along I am in writing, as follows:

Planning: I’m still looking into these, and I’ll start writing them when the time comes.
In progress: I’m currently writing these stories, and I’m not done.
Draft: I finished the first draft, and I’m revising, but these aren’t ready to be read by others just yet.
Beta: I’ve done enough editing that I’m comfortable putting these out for people to read, but they aren’t finalized.
Release: These are available on Patreon, Amazon, or elsewhere, and I consider them finished.

Otherworld

Otherworld is so big and so important that I feel it deserves a full section of its own. It’s my magnum opus, after all, with a planned 32 short novels and 18 novellas, plus a tie-in novel I wrote just for fun.

The main series is divided into 4 seasons of 8 episodes each, much like a TV show. The novellas are split into three 6-part miniseries, which mostly take place in the downtime between seasons. (There are story reasons for this, I assure you.) I refer to them as “bridge” stories for this reason.
