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.

The Islands Tell Of It
Patty Fischer
About the Book
At dusk in a Midwestern provincial city, college professor Melanie Rossen ventures off for an evening run. Under a pinkish-orange sky slowly taken over by an indigo darkness in Shadyside Park, this simple run turns into a nightmarish attack to defy the most wildly spoken of experiences.
Detectives Glenda McMahan and Luther Charles are ordered to interview the severely injured victim at a hospital on the south side. Seasoned detective McMahan finds it difficult to swallow the woman’s account—of a man turned into some hideous creature who performs a bloody ritual shouting out the word, “Balut”.
In the next few weeks more attacks occur following Detective Charles’s theory of the assailant cursed by some ancient myth from the annals of Lower Mythology from the islands of the Philippines. One attack in the back nine of a local golf course, Glenda’s doubts wash away when the victim is revealed to be Luther’s pregnant fiancé. This incident happens at the same time four FBI agents from the Chicago office are recruited by the detectives’ sergeant.
While Luther takes a leave of absence to watch over the recovery of his fiancé, Glenda befriends Agent Wyla Stark. Agent Stark possesses a strong connection to this legend where both law enforcement officers learn this creature has a name. Glenda and Wyla get closer to a suspect tied closely to the Big Pharma family, the Rathbones in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The depth of the legend’s origin brings Luther and his fiancé to meet a shaman in Algiers, across the river from New Orleans. The shaman gives them instructions on how to capture the culprit, then break the curse. Soon as a group forms, all realize to capture and take this suspect to justice they need to go off the grid of normal police procedure.
The suspect is revealed to be Amora Rathbone as the curse of “Aswang” is broken in the evening hours at Shadyside Park in front of everyone—an injured Glenda, Wyla, Luther, the three agents called Paul, George, and John. Another aspect of Aswang comes forth as Amora is able to escape her cell—dark workings of witchcraft. With her escape, the importance of the Rathbone butler comes into play.
The Rathbone butler becomes sole heir to the Rathbone fortune. Before he leaves Indiana, he plans a beguiling dinner to destroy Amora. Glenda knowing the butler’s disappearance is significant sets on a search to find him alone.
Glenda ventures out West, leaving Detective Charles and APD Detective Division behind. In the midst of the beauty of Big Sur in Central California, her discoveries bring her to such a state—madness invades her analytical makeup. This legend has taken over her mind, her psyche to such a place she doubts her usefulness as a competent officer of the law.About the Author
I started becoming a writer later in life. When my sons were in the process of going out on their own, I took up writing in journals. I wrote topics on news issues I was interested in. I also began forming short stories. One such short story I began researching for found me discovering the strange and mysterious Legend Of Aswang. Using tidbits of what I read, I wrote the short story. I showed it to my youngest son then in college. He said there was definitely something unique about the story, but I needed to think bigger.In the next few years going back to this legend, I wrote two novellas. I had them published but found my writing wasn’t refined enough. The readership was not good. I continued writing short essays, short stories, and larger works of fiction. Two years ago, my short essays and short stories were being published. Terror House Magazine, 34 Parallel Magazine published my short essays and short stories. One year ago I rewrote the book on Aswang, “”The Wind Whistles Wicked””. Now with seventeen years of writing in full concentration, this revision possessed a strength I felt would get the attention of an agent or publisher. With the third draft of this ancient myth, I developed, “”The Islands Tell Of It””.

Poems from a Philosopher’s Point of View
Miracle Camacho
About the Author
The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with a sense of new purpose. To see the world perhaps in a different light, to walk away and take away from the information given in this book so that they read something that they where able to relate to. The purpose of this book is to inform and awaken the readers imagination to make them laugh, cry, analyze, prioritize, and to get them to feel exited about what life sometimes has to offer them. In spite of the obvious struggles in life, sometimes there are those things that are truly worth sticking around for. So I hope that all the people that read this book are forever changed in a positive way.About the Author
Although an unknown this writer tends to get her words across to what seems to be effortlessly. A complex humble simplistic women, who loves to tweak a person’s interest through her poetry. She writes because her mind is continuously busy, so she keeps herself grounded by writing songs, and poetry. Although an unknown and not sought out after as of yet, her work seems to be very promising. She describes her points of inspirations for her poetry as gigantic pieces of different puzzles all mixed up in her head therefore she has to unscramble them and put all the pieces that belong to each puzzle together. She has been known to have eight different pieces of poems and two or more songs at the same time in her head. So she has to put them all together until each piece to each puzzle fits. She draws out not only through her experience in life, but through other people’s experiences as well. She considers herself to be somewhat of a philosopher and she sees life a certain way and expects if not everyone then a considerate amount of people to at least buy into some of her philosophies. -

Why I Am a Creationist
A Layman’s Perspective
Chuck Nelson
About the Book
The subject of origins is one of humanity’s universal questions. The who, what, how, when, where and why issues surrounding origins are both intriguing and controversial. While cultural authorities in academia and the media push an entirely naturalistic evolutionary model of origins, the observations and experience of many people prevent them fully accepting such a model. Many people, scientist and laymen alike, see evidence of creation or design in the cosmos and in life itself. They see life as something more than chance and chemistry.
The author is neither a theologian nor a scientist but, as a layman, has studied the issue of origins for a number of years. In this layman to layman work, the author leads the reader through the maze of philosophical and scientific issues at play in the origins debate with the objective of affirming the belief in creation or design that so many hold.About the Author
The author grew up on a cattle ranch in Northern California ans is retired from a 34-year career in law enforcement. He has authored a book tittled, Life at The End of a Dirt Road”” giving an often-humorous account of growing up on a cattle ranch.
The author has a long-standing interest in photography which you are invited to enjoy at: www.chucknelsonphotography.com.

OUR JOURNEY
G. Eric Miles
About the Book
Our Journey – The Life and Times of You and Me as seen through the eyes of me to you” is a collection of insights and observations about the progress or lack thereof that America has experienced over the past six decades. The poetry and commentary in this dossier chronicle the specific experiences of the author’s life that are universal for us all. The book presents both poem and socio-political circumstances surrounding the times in which it was written. In this piece the author reveals how the current situation we are experiencing in the world did not just suddenly appear. Our modern problems are the result of the path on which we have been led.
The book examines the mentality and belief system that has produced and sustained an inequity throughout the six decades it covers. The author traces the concept that we have been following a false narrative designed for control and compliance. A narrative based in fear and ignorance. The poetry highlights the reality that in the past sixty years the only thing to progress and evolve is technology. Humankind has remained stagnant in the fog of distraction and complacency. Revealing this complicent mindset is the primary objective of the work, while emphasizing the solution can be as simple as changing your mind. The poetry in this collection examines the “matrix” we are all born into and how it co-ops us into a life and world that is not entirely ours…and in fact is not ‘ours’ at all. The book challenges everything we’ve ever been taught about ourselves and the potential within our grasp. It is an introspective look into the possibilities in our external world. In objectively reviewing our past, the origin of the horrors of our present are illuminated. This illumination in turn will reveal the path away from these atrocities toward a healing resolution. A journey that we all take as one.About the Author
“Born and raised in our Nation’s Capitol; G. ERIC MILES learned about politics, democracy and diplomacy from an early age. G. Eric also realized there
was a BIG world out there to explore and discover. His education, travel and experiences during Anerica’s turbulant decades of radical social change has also
provided a unique perspective. His experiences with the civil rights era and the changing social views that followed formed the basis for G. Eric’s poetry and
outlook on life, happiness and the pursuit of equality in America and beyond.
Being raised in a household dedicated to education, G. Eric became enamored with language and vocabulary. Which ultimately led to a love of poetry. He began writing poetry in high school ‘just for the fun of it’ but did not fully embrace the art form until a decade later. Once referred to as a renaissance man by one of his early employers G. has always believed in, and actively sought to express himself through artistic expression. Whether it was singing as an adult in a gospel choir for 11 years or being a professional actior in Hollywood for a decade G has sought artistic outlets. A life in the arts as an actor and poet and an introduction to music therapy in 2008 led
G to discover the hidden treasure of intentional drumming. The power inherent in drumming has intensified his creative resolve.” -
