Prequel Substitute?

“The word ‘prequel’ bothers me,” Admin says. “It mangles the Latin roots.”

“You’re referring to the fact that A Cat Was Involved is a prequel?” says Spence.

“True.”

“Well, what would be a good word for a series beginning that comes out of, if you’ll pardon the expression, sequence?”

“Hmmm.”

Prequel!

“Do we have an announcement?” Admin says.

“We do,” says Spence. “This summer there will be an e-book original, as they’re called, of Chet and Bernie. It’s the length of a pretty long short story, and takes place during a crucial twenty-four hour period in the lives of C and B.”

“Are we talking about the day they met?”

“We are.”

“What happened?”

“For that, you’ll have to wait for publication. More to come on the date, the title, etc. But for those who don’t have a Kindle or Nook or any of those devices, there’s still a way. All you have to do is download Adobe Digital Editions or Kindle for PC and you can download the short story to read on any computer or PDF reading device that’s compatible.”

“Sounds easy, relatively,” Admin says. “And now, in answer to those who wonder where the image of Dog On It went here on our new (and very nice, in my opinion) redesign, it’s still down at the bottom. The same thing will happen to Thereby Hangs A Tail when the book after A Fistful Of Collars comes out, and so on.”

“Till the end of time?”

“And beyond!”
