Issue 51

From the Editor

Welcome to the 51st issue of Reader’s House, a celebration of literature, art, and the stories that connect us all. We are thrilled to feature the immensely talented Karen White on our cover as our Star Interview. With nearly two million books in print and a place on the New York Times bestseller list, Karen is not just a prolific author; she is a master storyteller who weaves her Southern roots into rich narratives that resonate with readers worldwide.

In our exclusive interview with Karen, we explore her journey from the business world to bestselling author, her creative process, and the profound experiences that inspire her writing. We delve into the heart of her novels, where complex characters and evocative settings come alive — from the vibrant streets of New Orleans to the historic charm of Charleston. Her upcoming release, That Last Carolina Summer, set to debut in July 2025, promises to add another gem to her remarkable oeuvre.

This issue is particularly special as we expand our horizons beyond literature. We are proud to showcase an array of exceptional authors, including Alan Lessik, Barbara Avon,  Colleen Coyne, Debbie Cassidy, E. D. Alspaugh, Hope Brooks, Jonathan Cox,  Kate  Church, Len Joy,  Leonce  Gaiter, M.J. Hollows, Marcy  Bialeschki, Mark Anthony, Matt Barrows,  Jessica Beebe, Ritu  Hemnani, Susan  Weis-Bohlen, Walter B. Curry Jr, whose unique voices contribute to the rich tapestry of contemporary literature. Each author brings a distinct perspective, and we are honored to provide a platform for their insights and inspirations.

Moreover, in collaboration with WowwArt magazine, we highlight interviews with today’s most talented artists, celebrating the intrinsic connection between art, media, culture, and literature. At Reader’s House, we believe that these realms are intertwined, and we are excited to explore how they shape our world. This partnership with WowwArt magazine allows us to bridge the narrative of literary artistry with the vibrant expressions found in visual and performing arts.

As we turn the pages of this issue, we invite you to immerse yourself in the stories and experiences of remarkable individuals — from bestselling authors to inspiring artists. Their words remind us of the power of storytelling and its ability to unite us across different mediums and backgrounds.

Thank you for your continued support of Reader’s House. We hope this issue sparks joy, inspiration, and a deeper appreciation for the arts in all their forms.
