The Other Karamazov Brother

It's been said that all you need to do to be an author is to write a book... and while this may be true, selling a book every once in a while would be nice too. This is the tale of one such author... someone with dreams of selling a book to someone outside his family and immediate circle of friends. Certain things are beyond your control however... right up until the moment you decide to approach your author hero in the street and pitch an idea... for a sequel to one of his books, which also happens to be one of the greatest novels of all time. What's the worst that can happen? A little stress? A bit of heartache? Maybe soul-crushing failure?
