Faeryland: The Defeat of the Troll King

I am doing the final edits of Faeryland: The Defeat of the Troll King. I am excited to share it, but there are some drawbacks. For one, the paperback is going to be expensive— $30. I'm not publishing a hardcover yet. At this point, there isn't really a way to change it. Once I finish the sequel and both are released, I am going to release a collective volume in hard cover using a different distributer. I originally published through Kindle Direct Publishing to get a wider audience in a format that the most people would prefer. There's a lot of good things going for them, but for the type of book I wrote— an illustrated novella— KDP probably wasn't the best choice. I have 82 illustrations and because of that, they categorize the book as if I had the entire book in color. Hindsight is 20/20. I originally wanted to publish the book with a big name publisher, but I've already been trying to get this book out for 2 years now. It felt time to publish it. I am trying to get a job out of retail banking. This was intended to help. If you are after a hard cover or a cheaper paperback, wait about a year and a half. I should have Belle Through the Mirrors done in 2022 and I will be realeasing a collective version of the two books. For now, this is the proof of the paperback:
