I just published two novellas and then combined them to make one print book. I'm not sure how often this has been done before, but it was a first for me. This is also the first time I have enrolled in Kindle Unlimited because I didn't want to limit my other books to just Amazon. So far, this new venture seems to be working well.

I decided to take the classic fairy tales, rewrite them taking out all the fantasy and make-believe, and make them into romantic, historical novellas set in the Middle Ages. Mainly because of limited vocabulary, this has been challenging, but I'm enjoying it. I published the ebook, Roslyn's Rescue, first, which is loosely based on "Little Red Riding Hood." Readers are telling me they love it.

Next, I published Glenda's Gold, which is a retelling of "Rumplestiltskin." I was shown how to have Glenda realistically come up with the gold thread from a passage in the Bible. Finally, I combined the two to form Part One and Part Two of the print book, Time-Told Tale, Volume One. The novellas have sold well on Amazon, and the print volume has sold well for me.
