All About Me

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 am selling solar…

Good Friends

By Julia Schmeelk | July 23, 2019

Like a lot of people, I have been blessed with a number of good close friends. One of the most amazing things is when a friend from one part of your life can cross those invisible lines and enter another part and integrate successfully. I had a friend I taught with for a few years come and visit. I was thrilled to see her, but I wondered how she would…
