The Cone Issue #1 Spring 2014 | Page 4

From the Editor’s Desk Welcome to the first issue of ‘The Cone’, ProSeed Book’s online lifestyle magazine. The idea for The Cone came from a desire for ProSeed Books and our creative energy to stay active and vibrant during the often lengthy development stages of our major book projects. In The Cone we saw an opportunity to explore, to discover, to learn, to test, to create and following the ProSeed Books’ philosophy of collaborating with artists, writers, photographers, entrepreneurs and others in the creation of something new and engaging and to share this with you. I look at The Cone as a journey on the road of developing and designing a more conscious lifestyle. One that encompasses the tastes, the feel and the ethos of what ProSeed Books is all about. The Cone will have a variety of articles on food, fashion, books (of course), art, etc. A cornucopia of ideas and images to engage you on the day-to-day journey of your life’s adventure. And it will be our challenge to be mindful of the stories, subjects and images we present so that they may be helpful, enlightening and or at least entertaining. As this is our first issue there will undoubtedly be a few kinks we’ll have to workout, but I hope you will stay with us as The Cone develops and I hope you’ll give us feed back so we can continue to create a publication that will thrive along with its readers. In this issue we’ll hear the story of a globe trekker and his South American adventures on the back of a motorcycle, our DIY Lab will give you a simple recipe for homemade marshmallows which will elevate any S’more to the next level, we’ll find out if Salt’s Cure has the cure for your appetite and we have a visual feast of the Santa Monica Farmer’s Market just to name a few of the things in our Spring issue. Thank you and enjoy the journey! 4 THE CONE - ISSUE #1 - SPRING 2014
