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.

I do not want to reduce the readability factor, but if it uses less pages it will be cheaper for those who like print…

Dragons on My Mind

By Julia Schmeelk | June 20, 2023

Sometimes as I read the news, look over my life, and let my mind unfocus, I dream about the dragons and what they would make of our world. Would they be wowed by technology? Curious about horses? Would the elephant or blue whale be a provoking challenge? What would they think of modern governments and our struggles with monetary and environmental concerns? Do you think they would take sides or…
