I myself am a writer, probably just like you are. We write because of are great ideas that roll across are genius brains.
The fact is it seems that you lack sufficient English skills, as I do.
I would dedicate more time to editing your book.
I know that it's different then typing over the net, but dear God you need to slow down a bit!
Have you ever read Lois Duncans' "Stranger with my face."
The main character finds out she has a twin sister, that she was adopted and also that her sister can astral project.
It's a very intriguing book, just like yours sounds.
For it to be successful it most have good English and grammar.
I myself get thrown away like a plastic dinner plate, because I do not apply myself to edit enough.
Please take my provocative advice and hire an editor if you have the cash to do so.

Ah. You are the one that I answered before? Well anyways, I would also try out things that are more realistic. I mean, history wise. Its always good to have a variety of choices out there. You have two fairytales and such, that are actually...somewhat realistic but not really. I think that you should either do that or stay to the course of the fairytale novels. You could also start a series. Take Janet Evanovich, she's one of my fav. authors at the moment. She has a series (the Stephine Plum series) and they are SO GOOD! Anyways, they have around the same story line, yet its different enough to still be interesting.

couple of choices - - you can try the traditional route of submitting to an agent etc via query letter and if they are interested, sending them samples of the writing etc. [ but please be sure it is grammatically perfect or they will toss it real fast ]

or -

It is relatively inexpensive to self publish these days as they have on demand printing and you can even print one at a time as you sell them..

good luck

I think you should do more work on it. Real writers usually write in proper English.
