More goes on in and around Hayfield Hall than is possible to cover in A New Style of Education (NE) or A New Style of Education: Hidden Gifts (HG). This page starts a series of independent story segments of various lengths that expand upon what is contained in the main story lines.

These segments include crossover tales outside the timeline of the main stories or present events from someone else's point of view. As a result, it is hoped that the reader is able to gain a better understanding of the universe, the school, and the main stories. As always comments are greatly appreciated by both authors. Unless otherwise indicated, these stories are “canon” and should be considered on par with the two main story lines.

While NE and HG can be read on their own merits, without reference to the other, readers may find that reading both is useful to their understanding of events at Hayfield Hall. These interludes also expand this understanding, but lose much of their meaning to those who have not at least read one of the two main lines referencing Hayfield Hall.

Unless otherwise noted, all interludes may be considered part of the universe storyline. These interludes may be read in any order.

[Author’s note. Other Interludes exist, and will be posted over time, first as a title showing it exits, then as a linked story once they are complete and posted."]
