Well you're a brilliant writer (and I'm not saying that to be nice, because I'm not - nice, that is) so one possible next step is to do something fictionalised that is high concept enough to make it as a movie/tv drama - then you may well find you can afford to have someone peeling you grapes, if you play your cards right. Either way your life experiences in this job (alone) and your excellent first book stand you in good stead, and anything that you can do to use them as a launching pad will place you as the authority to talk about this subject, fictional or otherwise. I'd certainly buy anything else you wrote, fiction or factual, and would also take you seriously if you were consultant or otherwise associated with any other book/project. At risk of being controversial, I'm thinking about the career paths of Andy McNab and Alice Seebold, both of whom started out on what they knew (and write equally brilliantly in their own ways IMO) and then went on to produce fiction that has that stamp of factual knowledge. The Hotel Babylon/Air Babylon/Fashion Babylon thing - which looks a bit like a franchise, but I don't care so long as they're high quality enough, because I loved the Hotel book - are another model: probably not Ambulance Babylon, Maternataxi Babylon - but you know what I mean! Even that ghastly Devil Wears Prada (aka "I bitch about the people who employed me, and who I despise and feel better than") had that insider knowledge credential, and while I can't condone her stuff, that author's certainly not going to be short for a pint or two these next few years... (and the book sucked in all ways IMO) So, even Belle Du Jour's success in print and tv, and all the aforementioned do clearly demonstrate that people (I'm one of them!) can't get enough of well-written books by and about people in an unusual line of work. Because, they rock! Okay I'm waffling.... sorry, but in my defence, I have WAY too many offline mates who fail to exploit (in the best sense of that word) their own genius and their own niche and unique experiences, and I don't even know you, but am so getting that vibe sometimes, and doubly so off this post.... and, I'm so shutting up now before I get banned or something!
