Brooklyn’s Black, Urban Authors Book Club

Keep 'em coming! Writers book strapping their works are EVERYTHING!

They dead wrong for this...

Here's Michael Jordan's 56,000-square-foot house in Chicago, and why it's still on the market after 6 years The house was originally listed for $29 million and has every bell and whistle you can think of. There's a pool with a grass island in the middle of it, a door from the Pl***oy Mansion, a table based on the streets of Baghdad, and MJ-branded golf flags.

With critical mass and much thanks to all of you who believed in us, at Brooklyn’s Black, Urban Authors Book Club we are working on a format to bring this and to bring us, indeed all of us, to the next level.

Much love for your patience!
