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

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.

Eagle and the Seagull

By Julia Schmeelk | June 10, 2019

At one point we were living in Ouzinkie, Alaska; a truly fabulous town. From our porch we could see an eagle’s favorite perch. She was newly mature, having just gotten her stark white head feathers and she would sit in the top of her tree calling out to the sky. A seagul, full of confidence and mistaken identity would perch on the branch below her. It took a few days…
