Thanks a lot!

I think I have a similar question be patient with me if this doesn’t fit as I am very new to WP I am blogging a work of fiction and have started with Prologue then Chapter 1. Of course the next chapter 2 then shows up as the first thing that readers see and so on thru out about 80 chapters. Short of starting at the end of the book I can’t figure out how to post with 1st chapter 1st and all others follow in order chapters not of posting. Is there a way to do that? Also I would like to have the author’s bio show on the front page as well and have info in about but that is a link that has to be activated rather than appearing on front page Any help would be appreciated.
