An amalgamation of Billy Shakespeare, J.K. Rowling, and Stephen King: bountiful book sales, beefy bank accounts, and legendary, literary-titan status. That's what literary success looks like from the vantage point of my van (home sweet home) down by the river. Not that I would ever desire any of that for myself ... oh no, not me, please. Stay out of the limelight, keep it simple, stay humble. The meek shall inherit the handout! (You lying moron!). Hey! (Play nice, children!).
