Lars

By Julia Schmeelk | November 20, 2018

When readers first meet Lars he is a visitor while the clan is doing a fast harvest ahead of a swarm of varasious bugs. He helps organize other visitors to gather berries and onion, mushrooms, and tubers as food sources that the humans use and the dragons of Grabon’s clan eat as well. All that…

Questing

By Julia Schmeelk | November 19, 2018

Not every journey in my books is a quest, and not every quest is depicted as a journey. A reader asked me if I was deliberately writing quests into my stories, or if it happened by accident. I managed to swallow my tea and not spew it over my iPad. Don’t get me wrong it…

Unpacking

By Julia Schmeelk | November 19, 2018

My office is finally coming together and there are only two or maybe five boxes and bins remaining. My computer is functional, but the printer is not yet established on our personal network. I am password challenged and seem to have a problem with it. Yesterday, staring at those boxes, I had the crazy impulse…

Books as Gifts

By Julia Schmeelk | November 19, 2018

Giving a book as a gift can be tricky, depending on how prolific and how picky your gift recipient may be. For instance, my brother reads continuously. If a new book came out in a series he was reading or from a favored author, I might be tempted to buy him a copy and give…

Thanksgiving

By Julia Schmeelk | November 18, 2018

Like many people around this time of year, I have started the self-reflection on the many things to be grateful and thankful for. The top of the list of course is family. My husband, parents, brother and their children. I am always thankful for the many kids we had the opportunity to see grow to…

Shared Dreams

By Julia Schmeelk | November 18, 2018

While Gordon and Hanna are fostering the mating bond between them, Gordon is anticipating each milestone. Shared emotions, shared sensations, and among the last in their case, shared dreams. When it doesn’t happen on schedule, Gordon is concerned and speaks to Heron. His fear is that something is wrong. Heron basically tells him to be…

Play

By Julia Schmeelk | November 18, 2018

My wonderful and talented niece was in a musical this evening. Naturally, as many of us who could- went and admired her growing and amazing talents in so many theater areas. She sings, dances, taps, speaks, acts, and adds so much to the production that it is astonishing. I would brag on her if she…

Snow

By Julia Schmeelk | November 16, 2018

We got a bit of the white fluffy stuff yesterday and I went looking for our bent, light weight shovel and it is nowhere to be found. Moving makes locating anything and everything a challenge. Having a heart condition and using a heavy shovel is probably not smart, but that was all I could find.…

Food

By Julia Schmeelk | November 16, 2018

Between human cultures, food is the great equalizer. It is the same with dragons who come into Grabon’s territory. Dragons may not be familiar with human customs of hospitality and the offering of food and drink, but they can certainly appreciate it. The idea that most dragons do not eat for texture or flavor, but…

Clogs

By Julia Schmeelk | November 15, 2018

Most people have sink clogs, tub clogs, toilet clogs, but yesterday we had a vacuum hose clog that baffled me. We have a dog so a clog in the hose is not unheard of, but it turned out to be a walnut shell. Not just a piece of a shell but a perfect half. Typically…

Banks

By Julia Schmeelk | November 15, 2018

We have a number of banks that we deal with, but we were thinking about opening a local account. My husband recently inherited some money so we had a check from the lawyer and it seemed like the perfect opportunity. We have been talking about consolidating and making it easier to keep track. Since the…

Grabon’s Friends

By Julia Schmeelk | November 15, 2018

Grabon has many friends, but when he realizes that Rok, Pit, Thane, Brom, and Griss are flying into his territory he is suddenly nervous. He has a few reasons and even as humans we can understand them. First off these are older, tough dragons who have watched him mature and always half threatened, half teased…
