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.

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.

I like to help out…

Environmentalist? Sure!

By Julia Schmeelk | July 8, 2019

Someone who has never read a word I have written accused me of being an environmentalist as if it was a bad thing. I smiled and shrugged entirely prepared to let it go and walk away. They were evidently not happy with my half-grin and shrug and demanded to know what was so funny! So I looked at them, focusing all my attention on them for a short moment. “You…
