You state this could be seen as copyright infringement. It infact IS infringement, pure and simple. It is one thing to make a fan fic. It is quite another to take someone else's story and change it, making the new work available publically. You are doing nothing by postponing the release so people have time to purchase the original novel. You are not the copyright holder, you are not allowed to change the work without the copyright holder's permission.
