On further study of this you'll need some text on the page don't know 
why, this works:
============================================
\documentclass[11pt]{book}
\usepackage{wallpaper}
\usepackage{color}
\begin{document}
\ThisLLCornerWallPaper{0.5}{TrialImage.jpg}
\section*{sometext}
\newpage
\end{document}
============================================
as does this:
============================================
\documentclass[11pt]{book}
\usepackage{wallpaper}
\usepackage{color}
\title{``Testing''}
\author{Francis Grizzly Smit}
\date{September 2, 2014}
\begin{document}
\ThisLLCornerWallPaper{0.5}{TrialImage.jpg}
\maketitle
\newpage
\end{document}
============================================
