Job Hunt

By Julia Schmeelk | January 3, 2019

As some of you may know, I am currently looking for a day job to pay for my expensive writing habit. I laugh, but I need to sell a lot more books before it pays for art and advertising. That being said, I am not giving up but willing to work to buy more time.…

Cold Recovery

By Julia Schmeelk | January 2, 2019

I know people who refuse to medicate a cold or the flu. I am not sure how they manage, but I firmly believe in treating symptoms. I despise being forced to surrender to some foul bacteria or virus and relinquish my daily plan. That being said, I am guilty of spreading disease. When it is…

New Shirt

By Julia Schmeelk | January 2, 2019

Like a ton of other people, I got a new shirt for Christmas. I wore it for the first time yesterday and discovered an odd little problem. I am guessing that most of you have encountered a problem like this with a piece of clothing, it rides up. It is an underlayer shirt, meant to…

Fighting a Cold

By Julia Schmeelk | December 30, 2018

Some of you may know that I quit smoking, almost a year ago. I had made a couple of efforts after my heart episode, but the flu last year did the trick. By the time I was well enough to step outside, I hadn’t had a cigarette in 14 days. So while Shawn has cut…

Happy New Year!

By Julia Schmeelk | December 30, 2018

As we get ready to tackle the band new 2019 and pin it down, I recall last year at this time when I had only just released Gordon’s Pride and was getting ready to put out Heron’s Bonds. I have learned a lot since then. About selling books, marketing, formatting, publishing, giving away books and…

Themes

By Julia Schmeelk | December 30, 2018

There are a great many themes running through my books. Most of them are obvious: People are people, Love is commitment, You have to find and build the place where you belong, and many more.

Cards

By Julia Schmeelk | December 29, 2018

I always thought it was polite to send out holiday cards to those you want to stay in touch with. But with modern technology, I have many ways to stay in touch and send out all manner of information on both our public and private pages using Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and email. I have a…

Brom and Glinarca

By Julia Schmeelk | December 28, 2018

Brom, as you may know, is a fighter, a tool maker, and the hunter for the clan, the market and anyone who needs 🍖 meat or 🐠 fish. It relieves many others from also having to provide meat for themselves, so it is a valuable skill and he keeps the skins and sells them after…

Tea and Cake

By Julia Schmeelk | December 28, 2018

My nephew and his wonderful wife are traveling back to their home tomorrow, so I was lucky enough to have them out to the new house for tea and cake. My parents came along with them and I made a gingerbread cake in the shape of a Christmas Tree to serve with hot spiced tea,…

Creepy Drop In

By Julia Schmeelk | December 28, 2018

I was sitting at the table this morning, drinking coffee, after doing a few chores, when Shawn looked at me sharply. He told me not to move before he stood to hunt up a weapon. Naturally I looked around and less than a foot away, a spider dangled, spinning gently on the air currents from…

As more and more people are reading my stories, bringing the characters to life and putting their own spin on the stories, it is wonderful to watch. I want to thank everyone who has read the stories I crafted, hopefully enjoyed them, and found something of interest in my world of NewEarth. One thing that…

Dragon Day!

By Julia Schmeelk | December 27, 2018

This morning, in the rain, I deflated our sopping wet 🎅, the blow-up kind, and put out my dragon to herald in the New Year! It was an adventure since he is not as simple as the blow up figures we have dealt with before. This guy comes with directions, a built in stand and…
