Synopsis: Amazing Conroy Sequel

I'm using NaNoWriMo to generate the first complete draft of the sequel to Buffalito Destiny, my first published novel from Hadley Rille Books. I met with the publisher this summer, and he's buying the sequel. I'm supposed to turn it in by the end of the year.

Synopsis: The Amazing Conroy is a stage hypnotist who has traveled beyond the edge of Human Space. He's performing at a variety of alien clubs and having adventures. Along with Reggie, his buffalo dog traveling companion, he'll encounter:

• Svetlana, the only other human around, an xenophile who won't give Conroy the time of day, but has to work with him because of instructions from her parton,

• A Celestial, which is to say, an entelechy larger than a dozen planets, who has compressed part of his awareness and packed it into a humanoid husk, to better interact with us tiny beings, including
• Billi, Conroy's new manager (though Conroy seems to have little say about this), and a Pelk. Picture a hideous martian Thark (out of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars books), now scale it down until he's about three feet tall. Yeah, that's right, green, six limbs, and tusks. He's a manipulative little guy, but not as manipulative as:
• Relliope, a sweet girl, really, an alien Bluie working as a bartender in the lounge where Conroy is performing. Oh, and she's also snipping away bits of people's memories, usually that they've tipped her, so they'll tip her again. Which, may piss off her boss:
• The Elder Glarp, leader of a faction of aliens known as the Veng. He's hired Conroy to perform at a premiere resort he owns. Unfortunately, while Conroy has his nephew (the Younger Glarp) up on stage in a trance, someone kills him (the nephew, not Conroy). But wait, it's not as simple as that. Wealthy Veng have this little trick that allows them to siphon off portions of their ectoplasm, creating a ghost that can avenge their deaths. Except... moments before he died, the nephew had been hypnotized to believe he was someone else, and now, so does his ghost!

Now the Elder Glarp has called a blood feud against Conroy, who's not only trying to avoid assassination, but also get rid of a very confused ghost who's 'haunting' him, help Relliope get offworld before the bartenders guild throws her in jail, prevent a well-meaning super being in a pickled husk fry accidentally his brain, not embarass himself in front of the only other human around, and manage a working relationship with his new agent who got him into all this trouble in the first place!

Oh, and did I mention the Sasnakian Sex Wrestling Team? Yeah, seriously.
