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.

Independence Day!

By Julia Schmeelk | July 6, 2019

I am a proud American. I have an immigration story on each side of my family with a cornucopia of twists and turns, one relative thought she was learning English, but it turned out to be Yiddish. Other relatives came over with a few coins and a name and address of a sponsor. There is no limit to the amount of struggle and pain a new arrival faces when landing…
