Are the "Bigfoot" themed short stories available anywhere separately, without buying the anthologies?

The only way you can get them is via the anthologies. The only other option is to wait until there is another short story collection.

Hopefully the publisher will put one together.

Maybe alansplace should contact Jim Butcher and tell him he has one compiled and ready for publishing. I'll bet alansplace already has a cover and only needs to write a forward.

That is a serious suggestion. Might come to nought but so what I think he might consider it especially if you made it clear you expected no money. He might even go all crazy and give you money.

I am sure it would amuse you to write a forward. It could be as simple as a favorite quote from each story and we know you are good at picking them out.

Worst case, we would all read your forward and perhaps even chortle a bit.

Helen. I don't believe that there's yet enough content yet available for a publisher to be interested in publishing a second short story collection yet and besides Jim has already mentioned that he wants one to be published when enough stories are available (the publishing rights also must be available). He's even mentioned a title. IIRC it's either More Jobs or Side Jobs II.

I too have a compiled ePub eBook with the shorts missing from Side Jobs. I know it would sell. But it would also drop the sales for the anthologies with these stories in them.

Not saying you are wrong as I don't know. For myself, I often read anthologies when I am looking for a new author, and I have bought anthologies based on an accreditation in a collection from one author whose books I enjoy thinking it will lead to some other things I enjoy and so far this is the case.

Speaking for myself only, I wouldn't buy an anthology for one story unless I thought I would like most of the rest. For example if a Dresden file story was published in a YA paranormal romance anthology. I would be far more likely to wait for a collection and even more likely to not give a damn. Too many books, too little time

I wouldn't even need a collection. I'd be happy to pay $1.99 a pop for short stories released on their own.

I agree wholeheartedly. I just can't be bothered to pay for a compilation of short stories where I'll only read one or two of them.

I'm sure Jim Butcher already has a compilation of all the new stories (it would hardly be difficult to make) plus tentative covers, but I would definitely love to see a foreword written by the preeminent Dresden fan, our Fearless Leader alansplace. That would just be awesome!

And maybe he does need a cover too.
