That First Encounter

By Julia Schmeelk | February 24, 2022

They say first impressions are important, and I am sure the dragons share that particular belief.

Stick Figures

Athena is my fabulous artist, and if you haven’t had a chance to go on the website and view the art gallery, I really recommend it. She has done an amazing job bringing my character and setting to life using her own unique style. On the other hand, my artistry is done in words, not…

New Beginnings

By Julia Schmeelk | February 14, 2022

As I started a new job today, it made me think of how newcomers must feel as they arrive in a territory in my NewEarth series. Imagine how the new arrivals felt as those brave volunteers boarded a ship to be dropped off on a new planet. Their hearts must have been drumming in their…

The Adventure Continues

By Julia Schmeelk | February 11, 2022

I choose to find the good. It sounds simple and clean, but of course it isn’t. I write fairytales, not because I can’t see the bad, or because I think I am magically protected from it, but because bad is there. People need hope, they need to see the good. Once you start looking for…
