Hustle (primary meaning: to push or convey; secondary meaning: to swindle or cheat). You do understand it's the former sense, don't you? To push as in "present for sale".
Opening Bars is now available, greatly reduced, as a Kindle download. Pat (he's a fella and a friend) who runs The Racing House Press which published Gorgon Times and Out of Arizona, fixed it yesterday and let me know. He'd chosen the price; was it OK?

Cherubim and Seraphim,
Continually do cry,
Holy! Holy! Holy!
Lord God of Sabaoth.
Well that's me, either of them. Even though I'm not a believer.
