Bloody Fingers:

The Stories I Bleed to Tell is not a polite memoir-it's an unfiltered confession of truth, humor, and healing. Cecil Hicks invites readers into his world with the kind of honesty most people bury. Each chapter stands alone yet connects through raw emotion, storytelling rhythm, and lessons learned the hard way.

Told in the author's signature voice-real, conversational, and unafraid-Bloody Fingers walks the line between memoir and social commentary. It exposes pain, joy, sexuality, faith, betrayal, and redemption without a safety net. Hicks speaks directly to the reader, blending street-level grit with spiritual reflection and the humor that keeps survivors standing. This Rated RC Edition holds nothing back. It's for adults who value truth over comfort and conversation over censorship. From the childhood wounds that shaped him to the self-realizations that freed him, Hicks delivers life lessons through laughter, heartbreak, and courage. He writes like he talks-unfiltered, unapologetic, and deeply human.

At its core, Bloody Fingers is about what it means to tell your story before the world tells it for you. It's a memoir for anyone who's lived through trauma, questioned identity, or fought to reclaim self-worth. Powerful, poetic, and brutally real, this is not a story polished for perfection-it's one written to remind you that scars can still shine.
