Inspired by the international reception to his very first publication, Taulbert has since written thirteen additional books, which includes Eight Habits of the Heart, the book read by Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, garnering Taulbert an invitation to address members of the US Supreme Court.  Taulbert's fourteenth book, The Invitation, the "Old South" meets the 21st Century as this black writer finds himself as a house guest of a white South Carolina plantation owner.  Their paths crossed for five years and the intereaction between the great-great-grandson of slaves and the family who historically were slave-owners is indeed an invitation for all.

“To the Generation of Promise”
