Looking for suggestions for fairy tales to do back-to-basics, fairly short(20-40k) mermaid retellings of.

I keep hearing about this "reverse psychology" trend for marketing indie books. Help me finish this sentence: "Don't read Kae-Leah's books if..."

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

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.

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.

How would you tier rank my books?
Kae-LeahWilliamson
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.

Who's your favorite romantic couple in my "Merfolk Tales" books?
Kae-LeahWilliamson
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.

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.
