If you were wondering what happened to Roy Alison after Country Hardball, you can find out in the November issue of Playboy magazine with my short story, "South of Bradley."



In this story, Roy attempts to track down what happened to his grandfather, thought to have died of a gunshot wound in the 1950s near Bradley, Arkansas.
