I have two novels about Sally Ann. They both use the same characters and start out the same. This young woman marries a cowboy and goes to live on his ranch.
Sally Ann and Her Cowboy is an erotic romance so has explicit sex. It is just a fun novel and the characters have a lot of fun.
The second one is Sally Ann and the Indians. It doesn't have any explicit sex and has a much better story line. It is more serious though and Sally Ann become a stronger woman.
I mainly wrote the second one since my older sister wanted to read it and she won't read anything with explicit sex in it. She still said it had too much sex after reading it so I guess I shouldn't have mentioned that the girl got married.
However, it is interesting though since both have been good sellers, but Sally Ann and the Indians is pulling ahead and has sold more books this month than the other one. I guess a good story pulls out ahead of one of a racy nature.
So have you ever used the same characters in two books that are actually different stories and types?
