Gram,
My plan was to use Hush as a launching pad for a Trixie Moran series. But I had some trouble deciding the precise formula.
In Hush, the there is a continually flux as to who is narrating, and who is interjecting interior monologue. But for a series, I'd need to stick to one format. Most likely it would be Skip Ryker narrating from Trixie's POV, with her periodic interjections via interior monologue.
Your thoughts are welcome.

I look at all the poor souls out there trying to make ends meet in a world of arbitrary rules and unfair rewards, and suddenly living this life of absurdly unrealistic expectations seems positively rational (an occasional visit to an opium den helps too.)

Have you tried sacrificing a lamb? If that doesn't work, try visiting an opium den....

The incessant adoration of my readers. (And if it doesn't begin soon I'm going to be damned annoyed....)

I don't suppose there's any shame in admitting it, given current mores. I was visiting an opium den and, of the several scenarios which sprang to mind, this seemed the least likely to elicit a response from the postal inspectors. One hates to make such compromises, but an authoress must play the hand she's dealt. (Unless, of course, she's of nimble fingers and has her cold deck within easy reach....)

Living in Brooklyn as I do, there's really only one course available. I take a lamb up to the top of the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch at Grand Army Plaza and, while I'm doing what needs to be done, I sing the Battle Hymn of the Republic at the very top of my lungs. Interestingly, the neighbors have never voiced an objection. One of the reasons I plan on staying in Brooklyn.

Circensiad, the story of an adolescent boy going off with the the circus after he's, rather rashly I must admit, stabbed another boy. It's a melding of the best elements of
The Aeneid
and Toby Tyler, or Ten Weeks with a Circus. It forms one small part of my overarching endeavor,
Byblos Foretold—the Great American Novaplex.
