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…

Circle Of Relationships

By Julia Schmeelk | December 12, 2017

Gordon is the central figure, as the Farmer in Gordon’s Pride, when the story begins. His good friend Heron has a companion friend Grabon. Grabon quickly befriends Hanna. This creates a close circle.

Old Earth

By Julia Schmeelk | December 11, 2017

My version of old earth, the terra firma where our feet are planted, is that the environment became poisoned by humans. That led to space privatization to harvest resources for the human population. One day I plan to write the prequel of what it was like for those first settlers, leaving earth to green colonize…

Terrible Stuff

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…

If you are looking for an alcoholic drink that is warm and sweet, I have an interesting recipe. Get a box of sangria, the cheap kind or a big bottle of the stuff. Put it in a pan and sweeten with sugar to taste. Cook to boiling with mulling spices or cinnamon sticks, raisins, cloves…

Weak or Strong

By Julia Schmeelk | December 9, 2017

Hanna is a character that grows through the series. For many readers they see her as weak-willed, too quiet and easily pushed around by Gordon. By the end of book 1 Gordon’s Pride, I hope your opinion of her has begun to change. As you read book 2 even more change will happen, but instead…
