I say Prologue and leave it on a bit of a cliff hanger, so the reader has to find out what happened along with the heroine.Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287040994749326468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-34653749380211663612015-06-09T16:25:37.848-04:002015-06-09T16:25:37.848-04:00Thanks, Kay.

Then when either your agent or the publisher says, oh let's try it this other way, you have a back-up. Whichever you choose, someone is bound to want the other one. I am being practical here. Basically, Marjorie, if you have a gut feeling which one you prefer, then go with it, and you are prepared with something in reserve.

Then I wrote it as a prologue as you suggested, Pam. Then I wrote it as two separate parts. I'm glad to get your feedback.
