About the Author

Within the ugliness of evil in the story is true beauty, the grace of angles, the glory of prayer, and the power of God.

John on his series, the Call of Vengeance

John Stafford, Sr. is the CEO of Stafford Jewelers and is a widely-recognized, highly successful, and innovative businessman in the diamond industry. John is regularly featured in an array of international business and travel magazines.

His debut novels, the Call of Vengeance series, are a poignant examination of good versus evil, reflecting his candid psychological, political, and spiritual observations of the world.

John’s love of reading spurred him to create Carbon 10 Publishing, a name inspired by his experience with precious stones. Much like his own books, Carbon 10 publishes a variety of novels that provoke hard questions and push readers to consider the world around them and their place in it.

Growing up in Beavercreek, Ohio, John is the father of three daughters and one son, and savors his time with seven grandchildren. When not working, he can be found racing through the back roads of Ohio or on the race track on one of his prized Ducati motorcycles from his classic collection.
