This isn't the first time reviewing a C. Billie Brunson's book, in fact, the very first book review on Scribble's Worth was of "Heart of Malice". Since Heart of Malice was launched in 2015, we can definitely say that Mrs. Brunson has done her homework with diligence, because "Six Strings" is a total PUNCHER. I... Continue Reading →

Although all of the above are great... Continue Reading →
Shadow Folk and Soul Songs is nothing more, nothing less than a rhymed revolution. A call of pride. A shout to remember the value and the strength of all Negroes, the African-American culture and a screeching appeal to the understanding of a nation as a whole. This short, very well woven work is powerful and... Continue Reading →
Have you ever read a book that you wished it never ended? Yes? Then this is another one. Yes, this is a self-help book, but contrary to many out there this one is as original, as straightforward as it gets, and, funny enough, you are connected to Leil's words from sentence one, which proves the...

Imagine a very young and talented writer that waves fabulous stories with the down-right potential of becoming classic best-selling titles, but struggles with his career (and life) so much that he becomes depressed because the only thing he encounters is failure, eventually quits and the world never hears about his name, or his stories, only...
