A post from my good friend Mimi Barbour:
After I listened to an old Elvis Presley hit called She’s Not You, I couldn’t get the words out of my head. Finally, it came to me. The sentiments were so beautiful that the story they told should be written. So, I wrote the first chapter and the song stopped haunting me. I released book #1 of the Elvis Series late in Nov.  

When it came time to decide which of Elvis’s song should be chosen for Book #2, I decided who better than the readers themselves to make the choice. ~ Mimi 
“Make an Elvis song into a book contest!”
Please let all your friends know about it!

It'll be fun to see which of his songs will grace the cover of 
Book #2 in Mimi Barbour’s
Elvis series.

Here’s what the winner will receive:

1.     The winner will have his/her favorite song chosen as the title and theme for the next book in the Elvis series.

2.     It will be dedicated to the winner.

3.     And their name will be used for one of the characters.

      I'm not going to enter, as I don't enter contests I help host, obviously, but... I'd have to say... 'Love Me Tender' ... I still get chills when I hear it.

To prologue or not to prologue, that is the question. Readers, please weigh in!

By
Personally, I love prologues. They get you right into the action whether it was in the past or something exciting that is to come. But that’s exactly why most agents’ blogs I’ve read say not to use them. Paraphrasing…“If you need a prologue, then your story must not be strong enough…” Hmm … well, I like them, and I use them. But I’m curious what readers think, and I’d love you to weigh in. AND, if you have some great examples, please leave the title in the comment section. Now … here’s what I’ve noticed. Plenty of bestselling books have used them, even though they aren’t always called prologues . Same diff in my opinion. My biggest example is ‘Twilight’. If that little blurb wasn’t in the beginning, I don’t think I would have made it through the first chapter. How about movies? I don’t watch a lot. But I’ve started to notice how many have “prologues”. I also don’t have cable, but I have NetFlix, and hubby has just started watching ‘Breaking Bad’. Okay … I...
