\"Epilogue\"I like epilogues. I write a lot of epilogues, too, probably because I like to read them. To me, they finish the book. It\u2019s all well and good to have Heroine A say how much she loves Hero A and vice versa, but I like to see that Heroine A actually ends up<\/em> with Hero A and not accidentally with Hero B. Did they marry? Have a passel of kids? Move to Timbuktu? Inquiring minds want to know. And that\u2019s what an epilogue does for me.<\/p>\n

The only negative I can see in an epilogue is if a reader likes to finish the book in their own imagination instead of having everything spelled out. They would be the kind of people who would like that movie trend a while\"Happily back where two endings were written and which happened was up to the viewer. Or the kind who want to envision their own version of the castle Cinderella and Prince Charming lived in\u2014was it a condo on the beach at Malibu or more like the Biltmore House in North Carolina? When it comes to ending a romance, I prefer to know. I do enough imagining about stuff, like what I\u2019m making for dinner\u2014actual food or reservations. I don\u2019t need to wonder about Cinderella\u2019s living conditions. Give me a good epilogue any time!<\/p>\n
