TechnoGeekdom

By Julia Schmeelk | December 14, 2017

I know I am not the only technophobe in the world, but my understanding of how the computer works, runs and connects to the invisible network of information is more a practice in magical thinking than an understanding of the technology itself. Therefor, having a grand wizard of technogeekdom in my corner is important. Thanks…

Gordon’s Pride is now listed on Goodreads, so if that is a platform you enjoy, you can find it there. Please leave a review of the book either on Goodreads or Amazon or on here. As far as I am concerned, any review is a good one, so don’t be concerned about writing perfectly.

What kinds of talents?

By Julia Schmeelk | December 13, 2017

What kinds of talents can exist on NewEarth? This is a question I was asked by a reader, but I pretty much told him to keep reading. After some consideration I thought I could say a little more. The power of the planet can be used in lots of ways, including ways the planet probably…

Laundry

By Julia Schmeelk | December 13, 2017

It seems like an odd thing in a fiction book, but what did you think of Hanna’s washing trick? I really wish I could separate dirt from cloth and water from fabric. Not only would that be cool, but it would be so helpful. At one point we did not have a washing machine and…

One day I plan to write the prequel of what it was like for those first settlers, leaving earth to green colonize…

By Julia Schmeelk | December 11, 2017

We do not live in a perfect world and terrible stuff can happen anywhere, but as human being we need to remember that we all have one nose, two eyes and opposable thumbs for a reason. We are more the same than our petty differences. We share a planet and a world that needs us…
