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.

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.

About the Book
Dee-Anna is an upper-class woman and a resident of a well-preserved suburb in Michigan, where only the elite build their treasured nests. This classy lady found herself in the throes of a terrifying adventure that pushed her to the brink of her sanity. “With every day that passed, it became a burden hard to endure,” Dee-Anna confesses, “and I complained of pains all over my body. ‘Anxiety,’ my doctor explained. ‘Overstressed,’ was a specialist’s opinion. I was the only one who knew the truth. I needed to unburden my mind and heart; I needed to shift this torment onto a listener…” And then she added: “You might be the only one to believe me without ruining my name. I don’t care of you spread the word. On the contrary, I really want you to share my experience with others.”Witness to my Last Judgement meets the criteria to be considered a mind-changer. When the reader finishes the final pages of this book and finds out Dee-Anna’s hidden secret, to follow will be some immediate soul-searching. The reader will then be able to unveil each of the hidden secrets tucked deeply in the back of his or her brain.
I would like my readers to fully enjoy reading this story as much as the admirers of my artwork enjoy the dreamlike stories illustrated on my canvas. As a professional artist, I have dedicated a good part of my life to personal artwork as well as to educational art projects, which can be viewed at http://www.marie-emilysendrea.com
About the Author
“As a Christian storyteller, I use my God-given talents in the areas of writing and painting, while narrating the drama of earthly life on canvas and on paper. Thus, my first book, entitled The Price: Stop My Time I Want To Get Off was published in 1997 by Benchmark Publishing & Design. In 2010, the Bible League, Bucharest, Romania published the first, and in 2012 the second edition of my book, entitled Understanding the Bible. The third book, Confused Souls is still waiting to be published soon.As a subjective-surrealist artist, I fill my canvases with unique observations collected from my own daily life. Hence, I had the honor of having my artwork displayed in solo and group exhibitions. In his letter addressed to me, George Bush, former President of the United States, acknowledged his reception of one of my paintings, entitled The One Is Yet To Come.
As an art teacher, I try to help my students depict scenes that represent the realities of life. The art competitions that I have won – mostly linked to the government – sponsored art project, called artist-in-residence programs – helped me to teach gifted students truths that are considered very complicated by many, but that can become simple rules of life if represented through art.

Vision Power!
Bringing Your Vision to Reality
Judy Barr
About the Book
“This book is designed with a vision in reaching young people trying to navigate and find their path in a world with so many options. It is an excellent tool as a roadmap or guide to finding your path. Ever wonder “Why Am I Here?” In times where you may feel alone, discouraged, uncertain, hopelessness or you may have been wounded by what you feel is a failed effort; or maybe you’re just simply not sure of what would be the right decision, you may be at a crossroad or something did not turn out the way you planned.When it comes to personal endeavors or “Your call” or “your purpose” we generally look at the world through an outward telescopic view and internally feel that whatever our gift is may not be good enough or feel intimidated by others, or in most cases our own fears.
We began to focus on societal issues. There may be a time of famine, social or political unrest; or we focus on personal challenges, could be personal hardship, family, medical, or any other matter we generally build to try and justify why this might not be “the right time.”
There are many various scenarios the book could have stated, but the author intentionally does not mention as to the point of this delightful read; the author suggests none of them matters. Whatever the scenario the author helps the reader to realize that it does not matter and is not a factor since the very first step in following your vision starts in the mind and in your heart! The book brilliantly and powerfully delivers in encouraging the reader where they are “right now.”It is a powerful easy read, yet thought provoking. If you are trying to navigate and may be at a crossroad, this book is for you. In taking self-reflective approach especially in a time when it feels that no one is there or you may feel isolated or just simply feel no one understands this insightful, enlightening self-guide book is a great read and tool!
In a world where there so many navigational technology and social media platforms this book delivers in extracting from the sphere of confusion and world illusions, conspiracy theories including the highly visible illuminati. It engages the reader to focus on the illumination and illuminates the light within the reader – the light of their vision and achieves the mission of helping the reader understand what a vision is!This book is for the new age:
Put your plan into action using the Self- help guide included in the book!
Learn how to write down your vision and make it plain using the self-help guide.
This is the first book that guides the reader and helps them begin their own journey from start to finish!
Thank you for being with me on this journey!”

The Papal Plot
Robert J. Bauman
About the Book
The Nazi plan was to train Jewish concentration camp prisoners for a special unit to kill Pope Pius XII, as many Cardinals and church hierarchy as possible, and to destroy major parts of the Vatican.
With the Allied victories in Africa and the weakening power of Mussolini, having Jews kill the Pope with documents proving that the mission was financed by American and English Zionist bankers and businessmen, would re-unite the Italian army and the people in their support of Mussolini. This would intensify anti-Semitism globally and re-enforce Hitler’s anti-Jewish Policies.
About the Author
This is Mr. Bauman’s second novel. The first, Extension of Life, was published in 2012. Mr. Bauman also authored (non-fiction): The Paper Money of Argentina, A Window to History, 1819-1899 (only available from the author). Mr. Bauman, a native New Yorker, is married and has three sons and four grandchildren.
