Topic: For Readers of Jeb & Rhia: A Love Story
Unless you're James Joyce, you are supposed to begin a story at the beginning. In your mind, you start at the end, work your way backwards. But what if you only understand the beginning yourself when you're at the end? Hence, a prologue is now about to be born for Jeb & Rhia: A Love Story. Really, chapter one, but I'm pressed for time, and it was easiest to make it a prologue. I will post it when I get enough points. A minor character, who later on becomes more significant, and may even rate a book of her own, appears. Taken with the end of the book (not telling), it explains things that might otherwise just seem to be puzzling or irrelevant (why did she put *that* in). Written partly because two reviewers thought Chapter One was too slow, esp. in contrast to the pulse-pounding, adrenaline-producing first chapter of Book Two. It's not terribly fast paced, but it should make the reader feel creeped out for Rhiannon's sake. Hope this whets your appetite
