Afro-Bougie Blues: A Collection of Short Fiction.

Sadly, I don't think there will be another one. I write stories when I'm experiencing bipolar mania and I'm on some VERY good drugs, and it rarely happens. I tried cutting back and my suicidal tendencies ramped up and they are incredibly annoying when they happen. (I don't mean to downplay the experience, but when you know it's going to go away in a few hours, you just kinda ride it out.)

Thanks for the congratulations. I really appreciate it.
