You get to meet him in book 2, he has a reputation for being a bit of a trouble maker. He hangs with the other rebellious trouble makers and he’s been a friend of Grabon’s for a long time. Brom has a problem, one he has kept mostly to himself, but his friends know what…

Nice words…

By Julia Schmeelk | January 17, 2018

As a writer there is no greater compliment than having a reader leave a review. The first review for Heron’s Bonds was left on Amazon and of course we have six reviews for Gordon’s Pride on Amazon. If you enjoy the story and want to compliment the author, leave a review, I guarantee you they…

Before the Sun

By Julia Schmeelk | January 17, 2018

Some mornings the world is more visible before the sun rises. In that quiet moment, the light from the moon on the snow, reflecting back on a dark sky, slowly catching color from a distant dawn, all seems clear. Then a few moments later, shadows shift and reality returns and the world is as confusing…

The Flu

By Julia Schmeelk | January 16, 2018

It is amazing how something like the flu can affect your thinking, planning and routines. My husband and I tend to assess what we have, medicine wise, go over liquids and comfort foods and assess if we need to get supplies or if we can last halfway or if we can hold out. If a…

Crying over Characters

By Julia Schmeelk | January 16, 2018

One of the strangest parts of being a writer is that these characters that I build become very real to me and I laugh over their triumphs and cry over their failures and sometimes what happens to them breaks my heart. In Gordon’s Pride I shed my first tear when Hanna tries to hand Gordon…

Awkward Meeting

By Julia Schmeelk | January 16, 2018

The scene where Trissy and Hanna meet for the first time, when Heron and Gordon leave them alone in Hanna’s kitchen, is so intense with unspoken voices. It reminded me of my first time alone with my sister-in-law, so much to say and no graceful way to even begin. Both women had things to say…

Kimmi

By Julia Schmeelk | January 15, 2018

Can you imagine Kimmi’s reaction to Brom finding Jenny by using energy the way he does? I  don’t mean her outward reaction, but her internal one. One of the reasons that Hanna and Gordon, Trissy and Heron find her difficult in the beginning is because she believes herself to be superior. She and Thorn believe…

Snow!

By Julia Schmeelk | January 15, 2018

Since leaving Alaska and moving to Missouri I have missed the snow. Not so much the ice or winds, but the snow. We got a dose of it up by Chicago when we visited with my parents, but it has been strangely absent from our landscape. This morning I woke to a world of white,…

Sick

By Julia Schmeelk | January 15, 2018

Being sick with the flu, a cold or bronchitus generally requires taking that nasty red stuff. You know the stuff, it only tastes good when you are too sick to appreciate it. The thing is, it saves your life, it helps you cough out those nasty buggers, nesting in your lungs. It unclogges your nose…

Stereotypes

By Julia Schmeelk | January 13, 2018

It is interesting how people make assumptions that because I have one non dominant, traumatized female character that all the others will be similar. I do not believe that is true, but I invite you to read the stories and judge for yourself. No matter how you twist a person with Hanna’s background, they are…

Snorting

By Julia Schmeelk | January 13, 2018

In the books there are a few references to Grabon snorting, including mucus. Generally Gordon and Heron are amused while the women are grossed out. It seems that dragons have soft snorts and then the harsh one that isi an expression of disgust. Due to their nose structures, it seems that dragons have the ability…

Coexist or Die

By Julia Schmeelk | January 12, 2018

Humans have to learn to coexist with the dragons or they are at a terrible disadvantage. Not only are they seriously outnumbered, but generally the dragons have a stronger connection to the planet which means they have greater psychic abilities. Fortunately the dragons see their purpose as following the lead of the planet, which seems…
