Juel A Fitzgerald has been writing since she was a youngster.  She has a bachelor’s degree in English from Kent State University in Kent, Ohio.

Because of God’s prompting she started blogging in 2010 and now has four active blogs.  The first blog is a weekly spiritual devotional.  The second is a travel blog.  The third is a walking blog about raising funds for HOPE worldwide. The fourth is a writer’s blog.

Her first book was published on July 15 2020, the second edition January 15, 2021. “Lives of a Gem! God’s Treasured Possession” is an inspirational and transparent memoir about how God walked her through spiritual and physical life challenges.  Two books were published on September 15 2021. “Bible Trek: Reading the Bible in Thirteen Weeks” takes you on her personal journey through the Bible. “The Twelve: Fishers of Men” gives you a glimpse of the lives of the first twelve disciples.

She is a thirty-seven-year government retiree. During that span, she worked with the Internal Revenue Service, the Veterans Administration Hospital, and the Navy Finance Department.  She is also a seventeen-year travel agent retiree.  In addition, she is a five-year retired Weight Watchers Leader. 

Her love of public speaking materialized due to Toastmasters.  She has had numerous teaching and speaking assignments with the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, with the government, in the travel industry, and as a Weight Watchers Leader. She serves in her church and community as a Church Board member, usher, mature women’s small group leader, and Bible Study Fellowship small group leader. She has been married forty-six years, has two adult children, and two grandchildren.

Her focus is to do all for His glory, live His schedule, and pray Big!
