#1.1, done: https://www.goodreads.com/series/3249...#1.2, do the short stories have an order they need to be read in, or are they completely standalone stories based in the same world?

Hi sorry for replying late. The short stories are a separate series from the novels (although set in the same world). The shorts do not *need* to be read in order, but they do have an order (and number three isn't out yet as I'm waiting to get the rights back soon).And thank you for the updates to the two other serieses!
I hope it's okay to add this here: the second book in the Ghost Detective novel series was published last week. Could you please add Unveiling the Past to the third series mentioned above? It's book 2.
Added the order for the short stories.
Hi again,The third book in the Ghost Detective series has been published. Could you please add it to the series? Beneath the Surface
If possible, I would have preferred to have the Ghost Detective short stories in their own series (Ghost Detective Short Stories). They are not in the same timeline, and having them in the middle of the novel series can be misleading. The third book in this series has also been published: Family Bonds
Thank you so much for your help
#8.1, done: https://www.goodreads.com/series/3249...#8.2, there is no valid reason for short stories to have their own series since they would still need to be added to the main series as it's related. So it would just duplicate.
I set the order for short stories order based on what was released at the time. If the current order is incorrect, please provide the correct one and I will update.
Thank you. But...how do you know there's no reason to put the short stories in their own series? I'm the one who wrote them and the shorts are their own series. They existed before the novels. The novels are a spin-off, in a different timeline. Mixing them up would definitely be very confusing, publication dates have nothing to do with the chronology of the stories. If they absolutely need to be in the same series, the short stories (all of them, including the six that are coming in the next year) need to come before book 1...

Hi there, From what I can see, Goodreads now grabs series information from Amazon. This means I now have one series with the Ghost Detective short stories, one with the Ghost Detective novels (what I want), and one historical one, which mixes up the two (the series discussed in the conversation above).
Would you mind simply deleting this original mixed series?
To sum up, I want to delete this one: https://www.goodreads.com/series/3249...
And keep these two:
