A Question For All You Readers—Chapter Titles or No Chapter Titles?

Chapter Titles or No Chapter Titles?

That is the question. I suppose, that the same person could answer that question "yes" or "no", depending on the genre and the ages of the target audience. If you are reading a children's story, like Wind in the Willows, or the screenplay for The Walking Dead, then chapter titles would seem appropriate, maybe even necessary. But how about a 300-page, pre-apocalyptic, mystery/thriller novel that is rated MA? Would chapter titles be suitable for this type of book?

Well, that is how I wrote my first novel, and in the true spirit of my perfectionist, overachieving sign, Virgo, I also broke it down by, not just chapter, but also by the scene! Here is the master Chapter/Scene/Word Count list for Mysterious Ways. Please enjoy yourselves, and each other, and sign up to reserve your copy of my debut novel, Mysterious Ways! Good night and great weekend!

HELP WANTED!

I am looking for some people that would read a sampling of my book and give me some feedback, but I'm in a dilemma. I don't want to release the complete, un-edited work to the masses, but on the other hand, I need feedback on the plot and timing, and just the general telling of the story, and you kind of need to read the whole thing for that. I don't know, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am putting together a "Preview" of the novel with some sample chapters and scenes. If you would like to read it, sign up here and I will email it to you shortly. There is no charge for the preview, but please get back to me with any comments and/or advice.
