Yes, I suppose not, and I apologize, but as an unsuccessful author and successful muse, my mind goes buzzing in a thousand different directions when you mention Joshua Norton. Dark Emperor Norton? Tutelary deity Emperor Norton? Possessed by a fragment of the ghost of Constantine Emperor Norton? Timeslipped Emperor Norton from 2300 where Silicon Valley controls the world and Google Timeslip malfunctions? Canny politician? Displaced fairy? It has so much potential.
