Wow, that was quite the surprise seeing my name here. It's funny I never really think about prologues when I write, but this just seemed to fit and write itself. Thanks for the shout out!
Well, I got distracted with me Jack of Diamonds, But I'm going to Start working on Locksley again in about a week or two. Right now, I'm trying to bring a story together that really excites me because it takes place in three different time lines -- before and after the War -- concentration camps, gays, concert pianist, and...the thing that got it all started, The Beethoven Kiss. I'm at 15,000 words, thinking it might take another ten or so to bring it all together.
Amen! I learned this the hard way. Now my book starts with direct action, and the prologue is in an appendix the reader can read if they want when they want.
I was shocked when someone told me they never read prologues, but you know that kind of justifies why they get a bad rap and shouldn’t be written. Check out @alistairgordon He has quite the neural network of a novel planned.
Lovely to share a meal with you and D Leanne. I just read your comments about prologue and look forward to reading your writings. I’m going to share your site with my son and his older children when I get home. They will love your work I’m sure. Best wishes to you and D. Martin Davies (Trafalgar)

Hey you’re welcome Ben! You know how to hook a reader! I think I might be all caught up with your Locksley book too. When’s the next installment?
