Mini-Muse Monday-Pass on the Prologue?

 

I just finished another book, and as I’ve done in all of  my novels except one, I included a short epilogue. I like giving readers a glimpse into the hero and heroine’s future, and often the epilogue is a great way to sneak in a little fore-shadowing for the next romance.

 

I didn’t include an epilogue in The Viscount’s Vow and readers let me now they weren’t pleased.  When I get the rights back to the book, I’ll add a snappy little paragraph or two.

 

However, this post isn’t about epilogues, which I love. It’s about prologues.

I haven’t included one in a book yet. Perhaps it’s because I’m writing mostly series right now and a prologue seems redundant. I don’t have anything against reading them, but I’ve heard they aren’t popular with editors and publishers.

 

Really? Why?

 

Aren’t readers what count?

 

So I want to know what do you think of prologues?

 

Do you like them? Hate them? Does it depend on how long they are? The content?
