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.

Welcome to my world of NewEarth. I hope you enjoy the people, the setting and the story. Sign up for my newsletter to find out more about me and the world I created.

Cooking, celebrating and working

By Julia Schmeelk | January 2, 2018

Early January is always a crazy, busy time. Not only is it clean up from the holidays, but my birthday is the 4th and we like to celebrate that too. Today I am cooking different finger foods and we have the neighbors coming to celebrate the NewYear. Wouldn’t you know the bathtub drain is frozen? I think I’ll boil some water and see if I can unplug it. Even when…
