Secrets Are Out Now' from Crystal Rivers, is participating in the 2023 BEIJING INTERNATIONAL BOOK FAIR

Jun 15, 2023

The book tells a story of a girl who struggled hard to find meaning and peace in life.

Beijing, China Jun 14, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - The book 'Secrets Are Out Now' by Crystal Rivers is a true story of her own life and how she struggled through different phases but never lost faith in finding peace. Crystal has been married nine times and eight times; she was sexually abused and beaten by her alcoholic husband; her three children were abused. She worked as a go-go dancer for the longest time, and she was a dancer in the movie PORKY'S, sang in Palm Beach Opera, and while working in the bar, she got involved with the mafia.

This book is a story of a strong-willed woman who refused to get bitter with life's negative experiences and marched on to find peace and happiness. The book will be seen at the upcoming edition of the 2023 BEIJING INTERNATIONAL BOOK FAIR, regarded as one of the most significant publishing events in the world.

"I'm happy to share my journey with the world and happier that it will be presented at such a remarkable event. The book has my stories that people closest to me don't know about, but when I decided to write this book, I decided to share it all." Crystal said.

The writings of Wayne Dyers inspire the book, and while it shares the dark moments of her life, it also focuses on how she turned her life around and found God. Crystal was born to a teen mother in Detroit who gave her up for adoption. A German couple adopted her, and she grew up thinking she was German. Little did she know that she was a Native American belonging to the Apache tribe.

"I was heartbroken when I found out about my roots. I had no idea about my biological background, and I feel that played a major role in my life." Crystal added.

Presently, she is a Baptized Jehovah Witness and goes out from door to door preaching God's word just like Jesus did. Besides that, she is a beekeeper; she is to her native art, making clothes.

Published in December 2021, Crystal's book is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and the author's website.

Mondilla delivers in the clutch, hacks out 2-shot win at South Pacific

DAVAO CITY – Clyde Mondilla weathered a blistering charge from a slew of pursuers and delivered a master class in clutch shot-making under pressure, producing a classy finish to capture the ICTSI South Pacific Classic crown Friday at the South Pacific Golf Club. With his lead under siege and the leaderboard in constant flux, the Del Monte ace regained control with a near-ace on No. 15 and a clutch birdie putt from long range on the 17th to move two shots clear of Sean Ramos with one hole to play. He could even afford to miss a four-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole, drawing gasps from the gallery, and still emerge with a two-stroke victory. Mondilla closed with a two-under 70 for an 18-under 270 total, holding off Ramos, who mounted a determined comeback before wavering late with a 69 for 272. Angelo Que and Keanu Jahns, meanwhile, made stirring bids that kept the pressure on the leader until the closing holes. The final margin, however, hardly reflected the tension and turbulence of the closing stretch, when five players were separated by just two strokes and every shot threatened to change the outcome. The pressure was mounting after 10 holes as Ramos pulled ahead on a clutch two-shot swing on the 10th. But Mondilla refused to lose his composure. A timely reset helped him regain his rhythm, with his putter finally coming alive as he pulled away in the closing stretch. “Sean was gaining strokes on me, so the pressure was really intense. But after No. 10, I settled down, regained my momentum and started sinking my putts,” said Mondilla in Filipino, who pocketed the top purse of P448,750. Despite the mounting pressure, Mondilla remained confident in his chances, trusting his game and his ability to deliver when it mattered most. “I always believed I had a good chance of winning this week, and thankfully, things worked out in my favor,” he said. Still, it was not until he drained a lengthy putt on the 17th that Mondilla felt the victory was finally within reach. He celebrated the clutch shot with a triumphant roar and a fist pump, a fitting release after a tense battle down the stretch. His confidence had already received a boost on No. 15, where he narrowly missed an ace. The near-hole-in-one fueled his momentum heading into the decisive penultimate hole. “I was already pumped up after my birdie on No. 15, which nearly went in for a hole-in-one. Then came the 17th, when I sank that long putt. That was when I told myself, ‘This is it. I have to make sure I birdie before Sean does.’ Fortunately, I made it, giving me a two-shot lead heading into the final hole and a real chance to close out the win,” said Mondilla. The two-shot margin may suggest a relatively comfortable finish, but the final-round battle was anything but. Against a field of determined challengers and a leaderboard that remained volatile deep into the round, Mondilla produced the shots that mattered most, turning a chaotic finish into a statement victory. It was a finish that demanded not just precision but composure, and Mondilla delivered when it mattered most. After surrendering his three-stroke overnight lead on a costly two-shot swing against Ramos on the 10th, Mondilla found himself one down as his pursuer seized control. But the multi-titled campaigner refused to buckle, capitalizing on Ramos’ miscue on No. 13 to draw level before nearly holing his tee-shot on the par-3 15th to reclaim the lead. His defining moment came on No. 17, where he sank a long birdie putt to go two up with one hole remaining. The four-footer he missed on the last may have denied him a fitting flourish, but it could not undo the clutch work that had put the title within his grasp. Ramos, seeking his second Philippine Golf Tour victory, mounted a formidable challenge, rallying from three shots down with a four-under-par round after a birdie on No. 10, which Mondilla’s bogeyed, briefly shifting the momentum in his favor. But the recent Asian Development Tour winner in Egypt failed to sustain his charge, dropping a costly shot on the 13th that allowed Mondilla to regain the upper hand. And regain control he did, never relinquishing it the rest of the way. Jahns produced the day’s most explosive charge, firing a nine-under 63 to threaten the leaders despite starting the final round 10 shots off the pace. Playing under preferred lies, he came within inches of another birdie on the 18th, settling for a 32-31 finish and a 273 total that tied Lee Song, who closed with an even-par 72, for third. Que also mounted a serious challenge, moving within one shot of the lead after an eagle-fueled six-under effort through 17 holes. But a three-putt bogey on the last left him with a 67 and a 274 total for fifth. The closing holes turned the championship into a nerve-wracking test of shot-making and temperament. With Ramos pressing, Que surging and Jahns charging from deep in the field, the final groups played under mounting pressure, each shot carrying the potential to reshape the leaderboard. Every walk off the course brought another twist, and every putt drew heightened anticipation as the gallery witnessed a finish worthy of a championship.

Wesley So wins 4th US Chess Championship

MANILA, Philippines – Filipino-American chess Grandmaster Wesley So topped the 2026 United States Chess Championship for the fourth time, beating top American players, including world No. 3 Fabiano Caruana, who ruled the four previous tournaments. In the second game of the two-game rapid playoff that was livestreamed at the Saint Louis Chess Club in Missouri, Caruana made a risky, if not dubious, move by advancing his bishop too early and leaving a central pawn exposed. So immediately took the free pawn and with it, a lot of territory on the chess board. So castled his king on the queen-side and advanced his king-side pawns toward Caruana’s castled king. Caruana attempted to counter-attack on the queen-side, but So continued to push his pawns forward and threatened to expose Caruana’s king. Caruana resigned after So’s 33rd move. So and Caruana finished the 11-round tournament tied for first place with 7.0 points apiece. So’s journey to glory was not without glitches, however, as he unexpectedly lost to tail-ender Sam Sevian in the 11th round. A draw would have been enough to clinch the championship but the loss enabled Fabiano Caruana, who played well in the second half of the tournament, to catch up with So. So and Caruana then clashed in a tie-breaker where they played two games with quicker thinking time – forcing more errors and increasing psychological pressure for both players. The first rapid playoff game ended in a draw. In the first two rounds of the tournament, So was on fire as he won against 2018 US champion Sam Shankland and Jeffrey Xiong. So also beat up-and-coming young grandmasters Andy Woodward and Ray Robson in dramatic come-from-behind victories. So pocketed the $56,000 purse for topping the tournament. Caruana won the US Chess Championship in 2016, and 2022 to 2025. So won the US Championship in 2017, 2020, and 2021. The US Chess Championship is considered the “toughest tournament” in the world today, with the strongest players from all over the world gravitating toward the United States. In August, So had also won the prestigious Sinquefield Cup participated by top grandmasters from all over the world. Then in September, he played in the World Chess Olympiad as part of the United States team.
