About the Author
Yvan Kaprielian was born and raised in Paris, France with an Armenian Heritage and moved to the United States in 1988. After graduating High School in 1991, with a privilege of having a father in the business, Yvan decided to venture into the Diamond and Jewelry Industry. He grasped the opportunity to learn and capture the secrets of the trade. At the age of 17 he started selling diamonds, engagement and anniversary jewelry, colored gemstones, and fine watches. He seized every moment to examine and study every diamond that was in his sight. Reading gem books, trade publications and taking courses on diamonds became routine. In 1993, he completed his first Diamond Course from GIA, Gemological Institute of America. This was the inception of the destined relationship between Yvan and diamonds.
His desire to acquire more knowledge on diamonds increasing dramatically. In 1994, Yvan decided to leave the retail world and open a factory in the heart of the Diamond District in New York City. This lead to excelling in designing, diamond setting, all aspects of bench work, polishing and diamond/gemstone wholesaling. Whilst developing the art of jewelry manufacturing he discovered his innate talent and true passion – Diamonds. Yvan’s theory was that there is a story behind every piece of jewelry, especially with diamonds. He realized that wearing jewelry is a form of art that expresses each individual’s personality. He thrives when he matches a magnificent piece of jewelry with someone, as a new story is born.
After earring his Graduate Gemology degree from GIA, he asked himself: “Could there be more to diamonds than just a financial and social status symbol? What if there was a story before the story?”. That’s when obsession started knocking on the door of his mind. He started digging deeper and deeper in the mine of his Soul searching for answers and seeking to understand. The day he was ready and truly decided to open this door there stood a teacher. A teacher named Master Choa Kok Sui. He became his guiding light in the obscure and lonely path of self-discovery. Devotion, purification, meditation, self-study and helping others became the new routine.
As his questions were answered, new questions arose. Today, after twenty-six years in the diamond industry and sixteen years of self-discovery, self-analysis, inner reflection and meditation Yvan came to the conclusion that there definitely is an undeniable parallel between diamonds and humans. Since this discovery, fueled by his new passion, Yvan’s mission is to share this realization, this message with the world. -

The Great Kickin’ Dog
Kenneth Crutchfield
About the Book
Ex musician, assembly line worker and alcoholic, John Coleman Sr. is a man with deferred and shattered dreams. Living in a Chicago housing project during the 60’s he is a father raising his eight-member family; four girls, two musical prodigy boys and a mentally unstable wife, in a drug, gang and gun infested environment among households with absent dads. During a competitive time of young musical prodigies, he fights for a pathway out of the projects through his talented sons. On a quest to find a way out, he drags his gifted boys on a whirlwind journey of hope, from talent shows to south side Blues clubs and observes their reputation growing with each performance. But along with the journey to see his boys “get great”, is his ongoing struggle with alcohol, his wife’s neurotic behavior and the fortified barrier of resentment from his jealous daughters all brought on by a family history of mental illness. Not only does John Coleman Sr. have to contend with the inner turmoil of his family, but a family tragedy shakes him to the core and threatens the sanctity of his high-spirited loved ones. The ‘GREAT’ Kickin’ Dog is a Black experience during a turbulent time of civil rights in the 6o’s and free spirits of the 70’s embedded in the cradle of Chicago’s segregation. It is a coming-of-age saga of passion, perseverance and the courage to rise above; a compelling story of hope and the question of fate. -

YOU
Vane Lashua
About the Book
For the past 50-some years I have been threatening to write a book. I’ve written poetry, political essays, lettersto-the-editor and stories about my life. Some of these are included here. Originally I wanted the title to be “Accidental Tourist” until I found that there is a play and movie by that title. Because I’ve often found life events and direction somewhat random, it came to me as a good description. Then, because of a need for a new title, “You” emerged. As a young teen, I read the prologue poem by Auden from a Look magazine page. At first reading, it assigns life’s negative influences to another. As I “matured”, I came to realize that my “Overfamiliar Dense companion” is me — each of ours. I preserved and reflect often on that original page.About the Author
Working in a family print shop as I grew up led to my career, first in education and then to publishing and dramatic technology development — with R.R. Donnelley, Readers Digest, and Sothebys over 50 years. While working at Columbia University for 5 years “at the turn of the century”, I became fascinated with geothermal energy technology and have since attended conferences and visited geothermal energy sites. (http://thnktnk.net/drill.html) is a paper I wrote on the subject. Presently I am involved in several community organizations (Library, Park, Arts, Downtown, Bird Sanctuary) in my hometown where I moved five years ago from New York. I live there with my fiancée whom I re-met at our 50th high school reunion. We have enjoyed Europe, China and US0 travels together. -
Christ In You
The Hope of Glory
Dr. Billy J. Owensby
About the Book
The Book of Colossians is known as one of the Prison Epistles. The authorship is attributed to the Apostle Paul and strong evidence of that in seen within the letter to the church at Colossae. Colossians is one of the shortest of Paul’s letters, yet it is one of the most exciting. Paul most
likely wrote this letter while he was a prisoner in Rome in A.D. 62. Colossians is referred to as the sister Epistle of Ephesians, also a prison Epistle. The evidence of this is seen in the fact that seventy-five verses found in the letter of Colossians are found in the Ephesian letter also.The verse-by-verse exposition of Colossians and also the book of Philemon will give the serious Bible student a greater understanding of the text and theme of these books. The central theme of Colossians is none other than the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. Philemon could be seen as having many themes such as Christian courtesy, Christian brotherhood, forgiveness, the law of love, and the saving power of Jesus Christ. These two short writings of the Apostle Paul will be a great inspiration to all who seek to learn more about Christ In You, the hope of glory.

Is God an Obstacle to Science
Ghassan K. Sayegh
About the Book
The backbone of this book is what God asserted in his Holy Bible:
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge» (Hos 4:6), and to offset this fact, the believer should read the Bible so that he/she may sincerely say: «Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my way» (Psa 119:105), since, «The heart of the prudent gets knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge» (Pro 18:15). This book proves beyond any shadow of doubt that what scientists harangue with is 100% compatible with the words of the Almighty God.
About the Author
On the outside as much as on the inside, I am a whole person, a one person, a human phenomenon, an individualistic blend and mixture of East and West cultures, in which God’s creative handy-work has manifested in the most artistic and nifty fashion. I am also blessed by being called one of the Living God’s Children in Jesus Christ.
However, «Me, Myself and I» had a lifelong meeting and we unanimously agreed to disagree. Thus, together or separately, we may laugh or cry; we may engage or disengage; we may compete or idle; we may create or destroy. We may seem acting classically and dependently, yet we portray an epicurean, schizoid and schizophrenic triune that continually sways and oscillates, often adopting dimensions of abulia, amentia and amnesia. Together, they confirm my oneness and wholesomeness, yet, separately and alternatively, they subject my world to natural extremes of heaven and hell.
Being a Spirit, Soul and Body, my triune «Me, Myself and I» takes turns in pushing the limits of my creativity by exciting my mind, soul and taste. The arid terrain of my unliterary line of breadwinning work and business is devoid of literary scope and span but properly represents the «Me» of the triune, while the literary world of poetry, prose and sketching are forever exclusively the tenets of «Myself». «Me» and «Myself» are the mirrors through which the «I» shines, and collectively known as: Ghassan K. Sayegh.
All my books, researches, poetry and sketches are published on my huge website: www.gsayeg.com and they are in three languages: Arabic, English & French.

Random Thoughts of a Creative Mind
A Life's Journey of the Creative Process
Sue Hassel
About the Book
RANDOM THOUGHTS OF A CREATIVE MIND is a collection of all of Hassel’s writings that have been submitted literally since grade school to present time, including one short story delivered in a big writing class that scandalized some, left others howling with laughter, and the remainder thinking quietly as they left for home. Her take on life is unique having grown up on a farm doing heavy labor with her father on and around heavy equipment. She is quite a horsewoman, and above all, she would say, “What you see is what you get.” Hassel is also a fine painter (see cover art), and a gifted amateur dancer enpointe and modern.
Sue Hassel grew up on a farm in Wisconsin, attended the UW, Madison, and then went to Europe. Her mother Elenora was a homemaker (who designed and sewed clothes for friends and family). Her father, Carl was an oil trucker for 41 years, a natural horseman and very gifted and humane in handling horses and all animals. Both parents had 8th grade educations. Both of their lives exceeded their educational levels. Sue has an older sister, Beverly, former Professor of piano at UW, Oshkosh, who is the real pianist in the family. Sue considers herself the hotdog pianist. She has to have fun playing piano, i.e. the virtuoso repertoire. www.suehassel.comAbout the Author
Sue Hassel grew up on a farm in the Midwest, sang in Europe professionally, later moved to New York City where she continued her operatic career. Her first reviews after making her debut in Ballo in Maschera in the role of Amelia (singing that role four times in five nights) was raved in all local media, and later raved again in Opera News. After her stint in Europe, in New York City she continued that operatic career singing the leading roles in Tosca, Bellini’s Norma, the Trovatore Leonora, Aida, Queen of the Night, Papagena and Philine. She is also an oratorio soloist. You can see by the repertoire, her voice began to shift upward over a three year period, and she is now a soubrette coloratura soprano having great fun singing in recital as Sue Hassel, Soprano & Piano as well as solo piano recitals featuring the music of Busoni, Liszt, Rachmaninoff and Brahms (her hands are big!). It appears that her career is backward, but she is the most pleased with her voice now. She always just knew she was a coloratura soprano and it just took time.
She enjoys a level of local NYC notoriety having been featured both in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal weekend editions as the ‘Soprano on the 59th Street Bridge’, and last October she was followed around by a videographer who heard about her. In time that segment will air online. There appears to be a bootleg video of her playing and singing, as well as dancing enpointe in a tutu online somewhere. Hassel has not seen it. She has a vague memory of having filmed that in the past. Hassel has been known to say, “New York City is the best place to find your dreams and become. -

About the Book
This is a book of poems about my life and life in the south; about the deadly corona virus that has plagued and taken over the entire world; about respect for our country and the people in it; and about the rapture.

I am 57 years young and a male bachelor. I am the youngest child of four siblings. My mother is still living at 92 years young, and my father is deceased. I was an ocean lifeguard for two summers at Myrtle Beach and worked in a German ball bearing manufacturing plant in my home town of Cheraw, SC while growing up. I was a walk-on football player at Newberry College, but did not know then what I wanted to do as far as my degree or my eligibility years of playing college football. I much later in life obtained a college degree in Associates of Arts from Trident Technical College in Charleston, SC. -
Will I Find Faith?
Christianity at a Crossroads
Fred Snowden
About the Book
Will Jesus find faith on the earth when He returns? Will He find faith in America? No doubt, the America of 2020 is much different from that of 1960. Church attendance has declined from 80% to 15%, morality is redefined, secularism is attempting to neutralize Christianity and the new generation interprets the 1st Amendment as freedom from religion rather than freedom of religion. Socialism is on the rise and the church is in retreat. In II Chronicles 7:14, the scriptures declare, “If my people, who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways; I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land.” Will believers awake or is the judgement of God the only thing that can bring us to our senses and to our knees? Our nation is being weighed in the balances and time is running out!About the Author
