Kobalt Books was founded in 2003, by Cedric Mixon, as an outlet for inspirational real life stories put in print. Kobalt Books is a fully integrated publishing company and broad-based entertainment company in the creation, production, distribution, licensing and marketing of all forms of creative content.

Kobalt Books is celebrating five years of success. The company continues to scout and polish talent who have a story to tell; as well as help build the careers of nearly 20 authors who have already published with Kobalt Books. If an author's book is accepted with Kobalt Books, their book will have the opportunity to take advantage of Kobalt Books' distribution network. The Author's books will be available at thousands of bookstores worldwide and online, including Barnes & Noble, Borders, amazon.com, bn.com, borders.com, etc.

It’s been over 20 years, on Halloween since the founder of Kobalt Books’ father was shot 14 times and brutally murdered. Kobalt Books publishes non-fiction books that are actually true stories. Even the fiction books are based on true stories, presenting real life between the pages for real people.

“I experienced and survived the traumatic murder of my father, as he was shot 14 times at close range. The absence of a father affected the way that I view the world, and the focus for Kobalt Books. Life is not a fantasy or a dream for me. I have to be able to look myself in the mirror, and face my own reality”, says Mixon.

Mixon graduated from Tennessee State University with a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering, then later an MBA in Marketing. All of Kobalt Books titles are distributed nationally. Over 20 books later, Kobalt Books has stayed true to the vision that Mixon had when it all began: Stories that cry out to our souls, at the same time makes us laugh and cry.
