If someone would have asked me to do a book series, even last year...I would have SCREEEEEEAMED, uh..."nope". I don't know how difficult it would be to scream the word 'nope'. It doesn't seem like it would carry across a field properly.
I was looking at these seven Shakespeare classics today. My love for books came with Dr. Seuss and Beatrix Potter as a child. However, my survival in highschool English class was dependent upon me reading and somewhat understanding Shakespeare. My teacher was dry...like no-butter-on-a-cracker with no-water-to-wash-it-down dry. Yaaaaaawn.
I remember coming home and asking Mom to translate what the Hell I was reading.
Thankfully, Mom was a hopeless romantic with a great love for words. YAY!
One of my questions outside of her translating them was, "Wouldn't one of these books taken him his whole life?" They seemed complicated. She explained that back then they didn't have technology occupying their time. He could just sit and write. They also didn't worry as much about what the audience thought. They may have potentially beat themselves up and been self-deprecating at times, but the "biz" was unique then.
WOW! What an occupation! You don't like the current world, you just imagine another one.
Authors like Shakespeare and Poe will forever live in our hearts because they wrote one specific way:
GUT-WRENCHINGLY.
I have been working on the first novel between having to make a "real living" for the better part of this year. However, this month, on a British radio station, I announced that I was bringing up seven of these children at the same time.
What is that? Septuplets? It's just a boatload of diapers to change at once. Whatever.
Here is the transcribed announcement portion from the BRFM Interview if you are unable to listen to it:

The only way I can do this properly is to do it totally from my gut. I am not looking to write something 'light' or soothing bed-time stories.
I am going to be launching its own website, 'cause it is going to get crowded here really quickly!
I hope you will follow along with my journey. I will update as often as I can.
Love you all,
Karen
