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

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.

The Great Job Hunt

By Julia Schmeelk | January 17, 2019

So I have officially begun the search and my inbox is flooded with suggestions, most of them not at all helpful as I am not inclined to get my CDL license nor am I interested in driving for Uber. I did see a post for an exotic dancer, an experience librarian and even a dog catcher. Although to be honest there were plenty of positions for special education teachers in…

The Backyard

By Julia Schmeelk | January 15, 2019

The mighty Jethro had a freak accident on the stairs awhile back. Some of you may remember when I blogged about it. My aging and increasingly fragile special dog with cognitive issues, fell down the stairs to the basement. He was fine and possibly Shawn and I were more traumatized than he was. Ever since, we carefully block off the entrance to the basement when we go down. The easiest…
