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. -

STOP trying to prove YOU’RE right AND START proving GOD is right
Eugene Abe
About the Book
“This book was impressed on me by the Lord, to wright these messages in poetic form. Never did anything like this in my life. As God would give me little titles I would wright them on paper which I kept in my pocket. Then most times within a week or two it would end up as a sermon in poetic form. This book covers multiple subjects which each of us face in life.
This book is designed for whoever reads this book, to cause you to think things out, and then to form your own thinking as how God would have you process it.
The emphasis of this book is to read and study it with an open mind, as you study the scriptures on your own. The reason there are few scriptures in this book is to cause you to want to search the scriptures yourself, to prove whether it is right or wrong. That is why God’s word informs us in 2 Timothy 2: 15, “Study to show thyself approved unto God a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
This scripture informs us that we are to study God’s word in order to find what God requires of us, what he empresses on our heart as taught by Jesus to us in Matthew 25: 14-30.
When we read and study God’s Word, read it with an open mind, asking him what he has for you today. We will never know it all, for we will keep learning till Jesus comes, or we leave this earth. Never allow people to put a guilt trip on you that you must know it all.”About the Author
It has been an amazing journey for this 74 year old man which has been a Christian for 62 years. Yet it has taken him to heights in the Lord, which he never dreamed possible. This has been an amazing journey for him as God has put a zeal in his heart like never before.For a man which never liked to study, and English was one of his worst subjects, yet God has put a hunger in his heart to be sure he knows the word properly. He has taken to heart, that he can be wrong in his thinking, and that he is more than willing to change to God’s way rather than his own thinking. He is not interested in man’s thoughts, but only God’s. Knowing That Christ is coming soon.
Because of his hunger for the truth, God woke him up one night and gave him the thought, which has become the title of this book. He is totally convinced that any one which puts this truth in effect in their life, their life will be totally renewed in Christ. So much of the teaching which he once embraced was proven to be nothing but half-truth. It has given him a greater zeal than ever before, to find truth.

Pee Wee Serial Killer or Homicidal Maniac
O. Grady Query
About the Book
Pee Wee Gaskins killed without hesitation and apparently without remorse over and over again. He did so as he meandered in and out of maximum security prisons where he spent more than half of his life. Sentenced to reform school at age thirteen he honed his skills in the use of extreme violence. The horror of his crimes is played out against the backdrop of one of the most rural areas of South Carolina during the tumultuous change from absolute segregation to forced integration.
In a lifestyle of absolute lawlessness Gaskins exercised a bizarre charismatic control over the women who surrounded him and ruled his little gang of miscreants with violence and murder. Sometimes driving a hearse and bragging of a private graveyard he maintained a macabre and confusing presence to those he encountered. Diminutive at five feet three inches and one hundred thirty pounds he feared no man and struck fear in most. Undaunted by arrests and imprisonment he conducted a crusade of murder
and mayhem over nearly three decades and killed more than fifty people. His motives were as varied as his methods.About the Author
GRADY QUERY is a practicing attorney in Charleston, South Carolina. He has written the story of Pee Wee Gaskins, based on his years of representation of the diminutive mass murderer. Court appointed to represent Gaskins Query spent hundreds of hours in court, visiting crime scenes, interviewing witnesses and simply listening to his client.
is book while fictional is based largely upon those experiences and the direct information gleaned from his time with Gaskins. -
Telos, Dreams, and our Continuing Human Evolution
Marley Shen-Cecilio
About the Book
We humans are still continuing to evolve into higher beings, through the actions and nurturance of our dreams and instincts. I know this to be true because as partly described in this book, I underwent the stages of these processes in the past 34 years, and still continuing. This book differentiates the Telosmor spirit from our consciousness or mind. Describes how the incorrect teachings of intellectuals since the Age of Englightenment (past 400 years) caused our human condition to deteriorate. Gives a real life example of how our evolution actually begins and the general kinds of unusual phenomena a person will undergo. Differentiates the kundalini, chakra, and other psychic energies from the Telos or spirit. Gives examples of how it feels to be “touched” by the Telos. Gives brief biography and gist of Carl Jung’s Paradigm of Individuation.About the Author

Her thesis from an M.A. in Literature was published in Kinaadman (Wisdom), a journal published by a consortium of Jesuit universities in Southern Philippines. This non-fiction is her first book.
