                      MIND


                                  By Crystal Clary
When I was a child, magazines or books about the wild west with equine as their form of travel inspired me to hop on the back of my Thoroughbred horse "Sissy" and ride like the wind through the miles upon miles of orange groves that surrounded my home in the country. Sissy would oblige my indulgence with zeal being an ex-racehorse who still loved to do a quarter run; full-board. My mind could dream that I was hot on the trail of a wanted "bad guy" who slipped out of the hands of the authorities and I would find him.
   Later in college, I often read books about adventure and romance with a historical twist which led me to take psychology classes wanting to understand how some of the cruel characters could be so nonchalant about committing such horrible crimes against humanity.
   Little Women a lovely novel made me realize the human struggle to survive and find your soul mate in spite of the real world.
  

   Old things in particular like a necklace my grandmother gave me, which she purchased in London when she lived there during the World War II held a spot in history I couldn't shake. How could such a sweet woman have survived such a painful time in history and make her way with my mom and grandfather to America.
   Somewhere in time between childhood and adulthood my soul knew I must make the world a better place and not let this point in history go unnoticed. Document the things in life which must be shared and never forgotten and I find myself doing that very thing with each book I write.
   When you read my novels you may realize the crumbs of truth sprinkled on every page.
