Dragons are for kids

By Julia Schmeelk | May 28, 2019

I cannot tell you the number of times people say things like, “Oh, my granddaughter is going to love this!” I always feel obliged to remind people that my stories are not written for children. Of course an older teen might enjoy them, but my target audience is adults. Men and women looking for something…

Memorial Day!

By Julia Schmeelk | May 27, 2019

It is a day to celebrate our freedom, and a day to recognize the sacrifices that others made, so that we can be free. It is a day to remember that nothing happens without a price and history judges which side is good and which is evil. In the moment we usually tend to think…

Pia the Drummer

By Julia Schmeelk | May 23, 2019

If you have read Grabon’s Nest and Acceptance, you probably have some questions about Pia’s drumming ability and exactly what the planet intended. Yes, it is similar to a form of heartsinging, drawing out negative emotions and thoughts and setting them free. As Pia matures and grows more comfortable, readers will see her help others…

Cheater…Cheater

By Julia Schmeelk | May 23, 2019

So this evening after being on my feet all day, we needed to run out to the store. We were out of a few things and running low on others. On my last days off instead of shopping, I spent my time playing in the garden. Hence the run to the store in the middle…

The Past…

By Julia Schmeelk | May 20, 2019

When I was a kid and we were living in Chicago, my parents were part of the community organization. They participated in the big fundraiser by working in a carnival. It was always the highlight of the summer getting to help, assist in the games and draw people in . Not only was the runway…

Fat 🦶 feet 🦶

By Julia Schmeelk | May 19, 2019

Not only do I have feet shaped more like duck feet than human ones, but I am convinced that I have grown to exceed my feet’s weight limit. That must be why after seven hours of being on my feet walking through the store, my feet insist on hurting for the last hour. They cramp…

Insect Swarm

By Julia Schmeelk | May 18, 2019

New Earth has some nasty bugs, and there was at least one swarm that locked all the people, dragon and human inside their shields. The idea of an insect swarm was taken from a locust swarm that I witnessed in southern Illinois when I was in college. It was huge, and unlike anything I ever…

Ants

By Julia Schmeelk | May 16, 2019

Last night as Shawn was enjoying a cigarette at the end of the evening, long after dark, he noticed a movement on the sidewalk and asphalt of the driveway. He called me out, and we peered together at the small bodies moving as a unit. Fortunately, we had a good household bug killer. The ants…

Busy Week

By Julia Schmeelk | May 16, 2019

This is shaping up to be a super busy week, with lots of projects coming together, but not much writing happening. 😦 I got a few plants in the ground finally; planted some corn, and fixed up a bed of veggies at home. My lawn finally is beginning to look like a yard instead of…

The Hunter

By Julia Schmeelk | May 13, 2019

I started reading through the latest edits and I am still hopeful we will have it ready for release at the end of May beginning of June. It struck me as I was reading that Mox is a very different character than many of the other females in this series. She is strong, independent, brave,…

Since I started training for this job, I went into shadowing an expert, then yesterday I stumbled and fumbled on my own meeting many of my coworkers. It was really great and I think it’s going to be a great experience. Today is my first day off. Since yesterday was Mother’s Day and after being…
