Kristina Smeriglio has always been fascinated by the complexities of the human experience. She strives to understand the roles of the mind and the heart, of the psyche and emotions, and so it has become the main theme of her work. Kristina focuses particularly on how the mind and our emotions are affected by our environment and experiences.

Kristina spends much of her time wondering about the human experience and exploring the age-old question, “why are we here?” She explored that same question and many others in her novel, Falling Into Fire, as she dove deep into The Garden of Earthly Delights, the painting by Hieronymus Bosch.

Kristina has a Master’s degree in Writing, a Bachelor’s in Psychology, and a license in Neuro-Linguistic Programm

The film is one I love and have watched several times during major shifts in my life. So I decided to finally pick up the novel. It explores topics I am interested in such as the power of the mind, spirituality, and the afterlife. (less)

The story came to me while working on my Master's in Writing at Nova Southeastern University. In short, the messages being conveyed to me through the painting, caused me to take a critical look at myself and my experiences. It was those experiences and lessons that were then put into words.(less)

Quotes by Kristina Smeriglio  (?)

“A confrontation, most importantly one with ourselves, is what needs to take place in order for true awareness, change, and healing to occur.”
Kristina Smeriglio, Falling Into Fire

“In my resistance, I knew that there was more to the assignment. To think of an assignment as nothing more than a grade would be a missed opportunity as it is. But when there's resistance, it's an even bigger indicator that something's going on, there's a deeper significance. And I knew there was something to the story that was to come. And I was motivated. There's a certain excitement that arises when one realizes they're at the onset of a personal transformation.”
Kristina Smeriglio, Falling Into Fire

“You hear other women sharing these horrific stories of abuse and I look at mine and I find it difficult even saying the word. Because I knew these men, I had feelings for these men. How can I compare myself and my experiences to what others have been through, events that have truly left them scarred? Am I just playing the victim?”
Kristina Smeriglio, Falling Into Fire

“Know thyself deathless and able to know all things, all arts, sciences, the way of every life. Become higher than the highest height and lower than the lowest depth. Amass in thyself all senses of animals, fire, water, dryness and moistness. Think of thyself in all places at the same time, earth, sea, sky, not yet born, in the womb, young, old, dead, and in the after death state.”
Muata Ashby, Ancient Egyptian Proverbs

“By living a life based on wisdom and truth, one can discover the divinity of the soul, its union to the universe, the supreme peace and contentment which comes from satisfying the inner drive for self discovery.”
Muata Ashby, Ancient Egyptian Proverbs

“I have long gone about with a conviction on my mind that I had a work to do—a Work, if you like, with a great W; a Purpose to fulfil; ... a Great Social Evil to Discover and to Remedy.”
William Makepeace Thackeray, The Book of Snobs

“The things that were told to me made sense to some degree. But I knew they weren't completely right either. There was something missing from their advice and assistance: Kristy...Kristy was missing. Where was Kristy in all of this? Because she certainly wasn't with me when I was making the choices that led to those moments of pain. Someone else was in control. In those moments, I didn't have my true voice. Kristy was hidden. And she was suffering.”
Kristina Smeriglio, Falling Into Fire

“I was called to the image, called to its message, though I wasn't quite sure what it was trying to tell me at the time. Still, I knew there was something there.”
Kristina Smeriglio, Falling Into Fire
