  Kaffe Fassett has led an extraordinary life and is a captivating storyteller with a vivid memory. Born in 1937, he spent much of his youth in Big Sur, California, where his parents bought a cabin from Orson Welles and transformed it into the world-famous Nepenthe restaurant, a gathering place for artists and bohemians. After attending a boarding school run by the disciples of Krishnamurti, an Indian guru, he studied painting at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, then traveled to England, where he made his home. After an inspiring trip to Inverness, Scotland, Fassett began designing knitwear for Bill Gibb, and then the Missonis, Vogue magazine, and private clients like Lauren Bacall and Barbra Streisand, and, in the process, revolutionized the handknitting world with his explosive use of color. Further explorations led him to needlepoint, mosaics, rugmaking, tapestries, yarn and fabric design, costume and set design, and quilting. Now in his seventies, Fassett continues to produce new work and to travel worldwide to teach and lecture. In this intimate autobiography, Fassett shares rich, detailed stories about his lifelong creative journey. 
    
  “Shapes and patterns are everywhere; they lie waiting for the person who wants to see them. It's the bricolage aspect behind his work and, arguably, Fassett himself: arranging disparate things to create something dynamic and new.”—Vogue Knitting

  A psychological crime thriller based on real events inside Australia’s toughest maximum-security prison. 
   
  A prison officer knows the rules. He also knows how to break them. 
   
  Jacob Daniels has spent two decades enforcing order inside one of Australia’s most dangerous maximum-security prisons. But when his best friend and fellow officer is murdered by a manipulative career criminal, Jacob’s duty collides with his need for justice. 
   
  Based on real events, Justifying the Means is a slow-burn psychological thriller that pulls readers deep into the shadows of prison life — where violence, manipulation, and loyalty blur into dangerous obsession. Told in a raw, first-person voice, the novel peels back the façade of control to reveal one man’s descent into calculated revenge. 
   
  Perfect for fans of Gregg Hurwitz, Don Winslow, and Michael Connelly, this debut grips from the first page and doesn’t let go. Realistic, dark, and unsettling, Justifying The Means asks a chilling question: 
   
  When the system fails you, how far would you go to make it right?

Growing up to be a restless young woman seeking nothing yet experimenting with everything, her curiosity took her to Crystal Healing to Reiki to Magnified Healing to Sweat Lodge and dancing around the fire in Shamanic rites. Little did she know that during a recorded guided meditation at a seminar she will see a vision of the satguru/master Yogiraj Siddhanath who will propel her on a fast-track evolutionary path of Mahavatar Babaji’s Kriya Yoga. In the book she takes you with ease and humour along this very personal journey unabashed and often brutally honest without guile, giving you glimpses of past lives across several civilisations, paranormal experiences in the present and manifold realms of existence, throughout which one link remains intact and steadfast - the link that binds the true disciple to their true guru. Today, as a senior disciple of Yogiraj Siddhanath she travels in India and worldwide sharing her learning with others, living and helping others to live joyously with grace, meeting all adversity with equanimity. The book is a reminder of the integrity disciples must have towards their master and how that helps their inner awakening. Includes Gurunath’s easy to practice 9 ancient yogic techniques.
