Question 1116: Is it a Prequel, or Just Book One?

Roland asks:

A lot of authors say they’re writing a prequel (as a lead magnet) when they haven’t published, or even finished, Book 1 yet. I know what they mean, but if they release ‘the prequel’ first, then isn’t that just Book 1 and not actually a prequel?

The Hobbit
The Three Theban Plays: Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, Antigone
