I agree with you that there is controversy on this topic, and probably just as many arguments for as there are against. *shrug* <br /><br />So far, I have only the one story that I mentioned in the article that has a prologue and epilogue.

I read an article in recent months that discouraged them and stated that readers were put off by prologues. The article further stated it was better to include the information in the body of the story. It further stated it was better to just write Chapter 1 than to write Prologue. Well, I took all this to heart.<br />In THE DARK Sarah J.

I wouldn't care if a prologue was labeled "Pre Chapter 1" or "Chapter .5" or whatever. lol I can choose to read it or not. If it works and adds to the story, then great. If it doesn't, then I can dismiss it and go on to read the book.<br /><br />You're so supportive. *hugsKaye Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530735658588595790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-40945386328877549282017-08-09T10:17:07.336-05:002017-08-09T10:17:07.336-05:00Finally, someone who reads books like me.

Only way to read a book. *GRIN*<br /><br />Kaye, it is rare that I don't read prologues and epilogues for the words were written for a reason and I have to know. So having said that, I'm waiting for the new ones in your stories to come. *Smile* DorisRenaissance Womenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045401344374224512noreply@blogger.com
