All About Me

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 sincerely hope that it is a long…

Summer Visitors

By Julia Schmeelk | August 11, 2019

Summer has always been the traditional time for visitors, and at my house, these visitors are always welcome. A wonderful friend and her daughter have come to spend a few days. To commemorate the visit we found the first ripe tomatoes in the yard. As summer comes to an end, schools are gearing up, and I am very happy to be walking and talking to people inside a store, selling…
