BOOK COVER Magazine - February 2014 | Page 4

Publisher’s Note Greetings! I am so excited about this first issue. This magazine will become the “bible” for readers and everything who has an interest in books and the authors who write them. That is the goal of Book cover. To bring books AND the author to people who read. I am still old fashion in how I think about books. If you come to my home, you will see hundreds of books all over the place, especially the master bathroom…also known as the library in my home. (smile). I love seeing books on shelves, on the bed and just all over the place. I remember when the former first lady Jackie O. (aka Ms. John F. Kennedy) died I read that she told her family that she wanted to have books all around her on her death bed, and that is what she had books all over her bed. Books are so powerful. I have always been a reader. Every since I can remember, I loved going to the library. I grew up before the internet, so the way we got books was at the public library or at the school library. My mom would buy my brother and I books at the thrift stores and bring them home for us and I would read and dream of what I wanted to be when I grew up, or dream about the worlds that I read about. This is the reason I went on to write books and become a bestselling author. It is part of my DNA. So, we want you to get to know the authors we feature in this magazine every month. Learn about how they become authors and what drove their passion to pursue this craft. Just like me, you might find that being an author started with them at birth. We promise to introduce you to new first time authors and their books. We also promise that you will be kept on top of what is going on in the “book world”. We want you to tell everybody you know about Book cover and join us by submitting your favorite author or book to bookcovermagazine.com so we can feature them and also share their talent around the world. Thank you for being a part of our team…let’s get this party started. In the name of good reading, James L. King Publisher BOOK COVER www.bookcovermagazine.com FOUNDER AND PUBLISHER James L.
