I've got several shorts for sale on Amazon, and I've decided to double down on one that has gotten a couple good reviews. More important, I really like the story and the characters. It's also a great fit for erotic romance (it does have a HEA), which I've heard can sell really well.
I wrote and released the first part of it as a short. Now that I'm thinking of it as a novel, I'm trying to figure out what to do with the short. It needs to be a part of the book for sure--it sets up the main characters and how they meet.
I could replace the short with the whole book, and it's just a happy bonus for the people who bought it already. That would also let me leverage the couple good reviews I have.
I could also make the short free... but would that run afoul of any Amazon rules because basically it would be taking a portion of a book and spinning it off as a separate work? I'm betting someone has tried that and gotten stomped on by Amazon, even if the portion is free?
Any advice about how to proceed is welcome--thank you!
