All About Me

Evidently I was born, although I do not remember the party. Stories indicate I had a pink carnation in the nursery that I greatly admired. I was one of the lucky ones. I have a wonderful family, filled with curiosity, acceptance and more than our fair share of laughter. We have

our tragedies and trials, but somehow, we usually manage to band together and face them with as much strength as possible.

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.

Politics Aside

By Julia Schmeelk | January 27, 2022

It is very easy to get caught up in political ideology, especially when our world is made up of sides, shades of light and darkness for every issue. People in power always deceive, always mislead, and curry the favor of the rich, powerful, and connected. Often to the detriment of those with less. My truth is I want to live a life of meaning and contribution. When I get sick,…
