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.

However ai would…

Run Away, Far Away

By Julia Schmeelk | October 29, 2018

I have often wondered what awful thing must have happened that made my relatives pack what they could carry in a bag, board a ship, and take off to a country they had only seen in their imagination. Among my relatives there are stories of oppression, of the need to breathe free, to find a new home. America was the land of opportunity, hope and dreams. My relatives came through…
