ABOUT AUTHOR
Hi, I’m Sandy Soyke, and I’m happy to say that I’ve finally had the opportunity to fulfill one of my greatest passions: writing.
After being forced into early retirement due to COVID-19, I found myself with the time to pursue something I had always wanted to do. In August 2022, I published my first mini book, Unlocking the Magic of Crystals for Beginners. Believe it or not, I wrote it in just seven days! The book introduces readers to ten of the most important crystals that I believe are perfect for anyone beginning their crystal collection.
Six months later, my second and more in-depth book, Unlocking the Secret of Chakras Using Crystals, was published. This book explores the chakras and how crystals can be used to help bring them into alignment, not only for yourself, but even for your pets. It also touches on auras, Zodiac signs, different types of crystals, and many other topics connected to energy and spiritual well-being.
Who would have thought I would become a published author? But here I am, and I absolutely love it! Before becoming an author, I spent more than 32 years working in the healthcare industry, a career I enjoyed immensely. At the same time, I also worked as a Personal Trainer and Instructor.
Yes, it’s safe to say that no grass ever grew under my feet! For much of my life, I worked two jobs while raising my four beautiful daughters. They are all grown now and have blessed me with five wonderful grandchildren, whom I absolutely love to spoil every chance I get.
My Love of Crystals
If you read my books, you’ll quickly discover another great passion of mine: crystals.
I have been studying and collecting crystals since around 1987, thanks to two wonderful women who became my mentors, Cindi Miller and Marianne Crouse. They taught me so much, not only about crystals, but about many other aspects of life, and I will always be grateful to them.
Their guidance, combined with my endless desire to keep learning, eventually turned my fascination with crystals into a lifelong passion. You could probably even call it an obsession with the wonder of all things crystal!
From Crystals to Fiction
And now surprise, surprise, I’ve completed my third book!
Unlocking Hope: One Woman’s Adventure from Loss to Light is my first novel and my first venture into fiction. It follows a young woman’s journey through loss, discovery, healing, and the power of self-love.
I am incredibly proud of this book, and I hope that everyone who reads it can see a little bit of themselves in Hope and her journey.
And don’t worry, I still managed to work crystals and even a magical Shaman into the story.
What? You thought I would forget the crystals? No way!
A Note to My Readers
I truly hope you’ll take the time to explore my books and enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
If one of my books speaks to you, I would love for you to leave a review and share your thoughts. Hearing from readers means so much to me and helps me continue doing what I love.
And always remember:
“Crystals are like potato chips, you can’t just have one.”

Thank you for being here, and remember to smile, because you never know whose day you might brighten.
A smile can go a very long way.
See you inside the pages of my books!
