Finally, 22 years later, Winter is back in "Life After Death," out this week. "But the character was always alive in my imagination," Souljah said. She even planned to write a Ricky story (and still hopes to). So instead she wrote spinoffs: three books about Midnight, the handsome and capable lieutenant of Winter's father, Ricky Santiaga, and one about Winter's younger sister Porsche, who ends up in juvenile detention. There are real consequences to the things that happen in real life." "Like ' Ta-da! Here she is,' and it's all good. "I didn't want to feed the hood a fantasy that going to prison is a joke or a cakewalk," she said. But because Winter Santiaga's story had ended with a mandatory 15-year prison sentence, Souljah felt she had to wait until Winter's time was served.
