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.

Decorating

By Julia Schmeelk | December 8, 2017

How many of you decorate all out for the holidays? Well, I tend to do it in stages, a little here, a little there but of course it all comes down at once, making for a very depressing day. However we are on the happy side of the equation and I have my bell earrings in and carrols playing and spiced apple and cinnamon tea to drink so it is…
