In this debut issue, we are honored to feature Steve Berry, a master of the historical thriller and a New York Times bestselling author, as our cover star.

His works, translated into 41 languages and sold in 52 countries, consistently dominate bestseller lists, a testament to his global appeal and storytelling prowess.

Through lectures, workshops, and fundraising events, they have raised over $1.5 million to save endangered historic treasures. This commitment to history is not just a backdrop for Berry's novels but a driving force that shapes his narratives and characters.

Berry's accolades are numerous, including the American Library Association's spokesperson for National Preservation Week, the Royden B.
