Where Does It End?

You're at the end of the story. The hero and heroine have had some action and adventure. They've enjoyed phenomenal lovemaking and they've endured lovers' spats. They've finally realized they belong together forever and they've overcome the obstacles that threatened their happiness. Now it's time for the story to end and the couple to go on to their future. The question is, how much about their future would you like to know?

Where would you like their story to end? Do you enjoy books that end with the hero and heroine professing their love with the suggestion that they'll live happily ever after, or do you prefer an epilogue that reveals a few things about their future? Maybe you even want to know a little something about future generations, such as how many children and grandchildren they have?

Though I enjoy many types of endings, I tend to prefer a glimpse into the future, especially if no sequel is planned.

What's your favorite kind of ending to a story?

About Kate Hill

What do trips around the world, endless nights of breathtaking sex, and a muscular, 6-foot 3-inch, brown-haired, blue-eyed significant other have to do with Kate Hill? Absolutely nothing, but she can dream, can't she? In reality Kate is a single, thirty-something vegetarian New Englander who loves writing romantic fantasies.

Currently, she might not be traveling around the world, but Kate has visited Europe and Africa and those beautiful places have been wonderful inspiration for her writing. While working at various times as a clerk, assistant karate instructor, house painter and banker, Kate dreamed of being an author. In 1996 her first short story was accepted for publication and since then she has sold over ninety short stories, novellas and novels.

Kate's stories, The Chieftain's Bride and Vampire Master, have won The Romance Studio's CAPA and in 2002 her vampire novel, The Immaculate, was nominated for a Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award.

When she's not working on her books, Kate enjoys reading, working out, and researching vampires and Viking history. Visit Kate online at http://www.kate-hill.com.

I like a glimpse into the future, too, a sense that they lived on and were happy. :-)
