I love The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series so much, I think I'll capitalize on it's fame and success and write a similiar series. The first book would be titled "The Blonde with the Cannibus Earring". The second, "The Blonde who Played with Twist Ties" and the third, "The Blonde who Kicked the Family Jewels".  I'm having trouble deciding if the setting should be modern or futuristic. As far as character and plot goes, maybe kindergartners fighting an Orwellian school structure and corporate corruption!! What do you all think?
