Dragon Markings
As you may have noticed in either the pics or descriptions in the books, my dragons have interesting markings on their bodies as well as on their faces. Those are not tattoos but are natural. The story from the history of dragons is that in the beginning when the planet first adopted the dragons as…
Read MoreRomping among Dragons
The dragons have a very pragmatic view of sex outside of a mating bond. They don’t place a lot of importance on it aside from it being a biological need that should be fulfilled. Males and females issue an invitation if they are interested and it is either accepted or rejected. It only becomes important…
Read MoreGarden
While the first stage of plowing is done, the dirt still needs to be disked and raked. After that I can plant, but meanwhile I have all manner of plants growing inside. Outside, we have bushes and trees blooming and popping out leaves. My lilacs are blooming which always puts a smile on my face.…
Read MoreSocial Media
Readers, I am easy to find on Twitter, @JuliaSchmeelk10, Facebook, Julia Schmeelk Author, and I tag in and out of LinkedIn and Instagram.

Read MoreRok
Rok is an interesting character. Aside from him being a dragon, one of Grabon’s rough and tumble friends, he was also the dragon sent to negotiate on Grabon’s behalf. He seems to know more about formal protocol than the rest and he invents things. In Healing, book 4, you see another side of him, you…
Read MoreMaggie
If you have read book 3, The Heartsinger, you met Dotty’s sister Maggie. If not, read no farther because there are too many points that are giveaways. Half the fun of this story is finding the clues for yourself to put together the larger picture. As a reader, did you like Maggie when you first…
Read MoreHeartsinging
The idea that each person hears only what they need, as one aspect of the song the Heartsinger offers, is based on my understanding of sensory perception. Our eyes may all see the same image, but our perceptions will all be different. If we had the ability to share memories, I think we would be…
