My last couple of books have all featured death/mourning as a plot point. What are some fairy tales, that could be adapted into a mermaid world, that do not feature death/mourning as a plot point? Something fun and lighthearted, yet at the same time lengthy and detailed, would be perfect.

It's now the month of May or should I say Mer may. so, plan to do another mermaid version of the cross over fairytales?

heatherstafford55

I see and understand. hears an idea for your next mermaid story, a crossover fairytale in mermaid version of The Crystal Ball and Snow White and Rose Red. just an idea that's all.

@heatherstafford55 Maybe, but probably not in May. I'm taking a little break from writing atm.

The two main themes of my next book will probably be "trust" and "beauty"

Kae-LeahWilliamson

@heatherstafford55 No and yes. It'll be a mermaid-themed mashup of Snow White and The Little Mermaid, with a dash of Beauty and the Beast.

@Kae-LeahWilliamson I take it to be a mermaid version of Beauty and The Beast?

Which recent book of mine do you think is stronger overall, Pearlina or A Baker's Tail?

Kae-LeahWilliamson

@heatherstafford55 Yay, glad you think so. In retrospect, I thought the Odette/Siegfried romance was a bit forced and rushed, but I'm proud of other aspects of it.

How do y'all feel about a male romantic lead who is NOT conventionally attractive in a male model-like way? I'm working on the outline for my next novel, and I'm planning on the male lead being a young human man who has a third-degree burn scar on his face and is much shorter than average, so he is not popular with the opposite sex. "Adriana and the Apothecary's Apprentice" will be a Snow White/Little Mermaid mash-up with a dash of Beauty and the Beast.

Kae-LeahWilliamson

nope, hetero

Sounds intriguing! I love a non conventional main character

Two more ideas I have kicking around in the back of my head that I may or may not write eventually:
          (1) A Pride and Prejudice/Little Mermaid retelling mashup, with Lydia, the youngest, impulsive Bennett daughter in the role of the Little Mermaid 
          (2) A series of books called Six Sisters of the Sea, about six human sisters who have a family secret: they can turn into mermaids at night. Each book would focus on one of the sisters and be a loose retelling of a popular fairy tale.

@Kae-LeahWilliamson cool beans!

No outline yet, and I don't plan on writing it for a couple months, so this in the very vague, early planning stage, but my next Merfolk Tales novel will *probably*(keep in mind, not 100% sure yet) be a Snow White/Little Mermaid mashup called Adriana and the Apothecary, and it may also include dashes of Beauty and the Beast and Little Red Riding Hood.

@Kae-LeahWilliamson those stories will make waves

Kae-LeahWilliamson

What sounds more interesting, a Robin Hood/Emperor's New Clothes mermaid-themed mash-up, or a Snow White/Little Mermaid mash-up?

@Kae-LeahWilliamson I think the Second one sounds cooler
