My husband and I have been together for… let’s say we met in 1983. He is not only my companion and friend, but also the guardian of my imagination. I imagine I am not easy to live with on a regular basis, especially because I am not always present where my feet are, but I also tend to babble and talk to my characters as I am plotting. Yes, he deserves a medal.

For thirty years, I was the teacher in a classroom. It was an experience I would never give up and I hope I made a difference for those students, but underneath the apple crusted desk, I was always a writer, an observer and a student of human behavior and responses. My imagination tends to fly in a million directions and it takes a cage to keep it focused.

Editing is amazing watching this rough model of what you wanted get…

Off to the Readers

By Julia Schmeelk | July 11, 2023

I have finished with the 3 rounds of editing and have handed book 7, The Hunter off to the readers. These are people looking for anything that disrupts the reading, from typos to awkwardness. Currently Io have 2 wonderful people doing the reading for me. While they are busy with that, I am doing the first round of Jommy’s Flights. I love all my books and all my characters, but…
