Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on February 5, 2010 by Kelli Jae BaeliJuly 30, 2012

Review of Random Act of Blindness on weRead:   “I didn’t want to put this book down, the characters had me hooked from the start, the erotica so real, I wanted to be there. Its not often I find a book that has me enthralled from beginning to end, Random Act of Blindness is one of the few. I am so looking forward to my next novel by Kelli Jae Baeli.” ~ Joanne Cincotta, Australia EXCERPTS: Never, in all her days, had she imagined herself in a position like this. Vivid fantasies aside, Rachel had never considered acting on the … Continue reading →

Genre Horizons: RAOB

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on September 19, 2009 by Kelli Jae BaeliFebruary 5, 2013

  Random Act of Blindness is unlike any of my other books…I say that with a generous leeway in definition, because none of my books is like any of my other books. But I was trying to do something that was not only different for me, but different for authors in general. I wanted to take a genre that is relegated to the fringes, and elevate it into a mainstream sensibility. I wanted to write an erotic book with three- dimensional characters, a recognizable plot, and a handling of the material that made a reader care about what happened to … Continue reading →

The Benefits of Well-Feeding

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on October 14, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 5, 2013

Though I have had moments–and those moments often stretched into days and weeks and sometimes months–of a Dry Writing Well…I should never allow myself to worry about it too actively. I always reach a point where my well is filled again, to overflowing, and I feel that handling the burgeoning water of writing would require me to clone myself. Complete with an inflatable raft. Like now. After finishing my 13th book, I fell into one of those dry wells, and even worried about it. Yet, here I am with 8 or 9 new books yanking at my head, and I … Continue reading →

My Beginnings

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on June 21, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 5, 2013

In my readings about writing, I came across several good points about how the beginning of your book is often the most important part–at least, if you intend to grab the attention of an editor, publisher or agent. I wondered what all my beginnings really looked like…and so I gathered them here for kicks. Would these beginnings make you, as a reader, want to keep reading? I welcome all comments. My beginnings…. The openings (first sentences/paragraphs) of my books. “Sully’s, on South Prospect, was the quintessential biker-bar, complete with hefty, leather-clad Harley worshippers, and stringy-haired heroin-addicted women who made the … Continue reading →

Random Act of Fiction

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on June 21, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliFebruary 5, 2013

The book I am working on now is an expansion project. Random Act of Blindness began as a short story for an erotic publication, grew into a novella, and now, I am expanding it to a full-length novel. This project is dear to me because I am trying to do something that I don’t think happens very much in the genre: making a truly erotic story rich with all the elements of any other good novel. I have always wondered why erotica seems to be sequestered in a dark corner, like a misbehaving red-headed step-child. Why can’t we have stories … Continue reading →

No, the Other Baggage…

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on August 22, 2007 by Kelli Jae BaeliNovember 28, 2011

  I sat down with my coffee and noticed no mail yet from the source of my current vexation. Within 5 minutes, (last night after our phone call, I sent the txt: Thank u for being u. I get a text from her- Got ur txt. : Training 2day, No email. grr. I text back: Rats! Guess I’ll work on writing, music, sculpture & my self. Have a good day! . . . So I’m spending the day trying to be productive. I have to stop obsessing on this woman. Baggage still needs another 20,000 words or more, unless I’m … Continue reading →

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

"Those who say money won't buy happiness, are justifying their poverty."

Politics Quotes

"People feel removed from sexism. 'I'm not a sexist, but I'm not a feminist.' They think there's this fuzzy middle ground. There's no fuzzy middle ground. You either believe that women are people or you don't. It's that simple." (Joss Whedon)

#1 Bestseller! A woman-centered survival story at the start of an apocalypse, with none of the usual damsel-in-distress marmalade.

We live on the same road as the local sheriff, and he always had a trump flag beside his sheriff /back the blue flags. Now the trump flag is gone, and its place...a British flag. Not sure what that means, but glad trump flag is gone.
