Hi My Friends,

I have been a full time writer and book promoter for the last year.  My book was self-published and God enabeled me to sell them. Good fortune took by book from obsecurity to receiving the prestigious Cush City's "2007 Best New Author's Award."  On September 7, I was invited to receive the Martha Hinton-Tucker Day proclamation from Gary, IndianaCity Hall at the request of Mayor Rudy Clay , and the commendation from Inglwood City Hall under Mayor Roosevelt Dorn.

On October 12, 2007, God allowed me to find eight New Image Writers and become founder of the New Image Writer's Forum and Bus Tour. Good fortune opened a huge smile on that group and KTLA TV shadowed the tour for a day and aired on October 12, 2007, 10:25 p.m.  It brought awesome publicity.  I was invited to speak at the Black Expo for Speakers, Etc. Just a hand of favor opened a door to Historically Black Colleges. 

 I continue to search for New Image Writers who want to illuminate Black people's contributions to America and the world, and the New Image Inner Circle is growing. 

I am blessed coming in and blessed going out.  I met all of you this year and have struck up wonderful and warm relationships.  I have about 5000 friends combined in cyberspace.  My health is robust, my faith is full, and my abundance is overflowing.  Who do I have to thank but God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, my family, and my friends--in that order. I am expecting even more in 2008!

As you give thanks to God, I wish your heart's desires for this time of the year. I wish each and every one of you the most bountiful Thanksgiving ever. Stop now, and count up your blessings. No matter your circumstances, you have many things to be thankful for.

Your friend,Martha Tucker
