Venetian Blinds

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on August 4, 2017 by Kelli Jae BaeliAugust 6, 2017

A collection of short fiction by bestselling, genre-hopping indie author, Kelli Jae Baeli, which are, as the author says in her Before Words, “some funny, some strange, some serious, and some even flirt with the Dark Side (where, social media tells me, they have cookies).” She adds, “Populating these stories are an unusual alien; a ghost, Captain Kirk; Beowulf’s spoofy illegitimate warrior-daughter, a violence victim; a stiff, oblivious couple; an estranged daughter; a vengeful girl, a confused young woman; murderous offspring; a frustrated female rookie cop…” None have a common thread or common genre, but all are snippets of the … Continue reading →

Nerve (Selected & Neglected Poetry)

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on March 24, 2016 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 17, 2022

Michele reviewed Nerve: Selected & Neglected Poetry  Insightful poetry April 23, 2017 A nice change from my usual reading material, I found the poetry to be quite insightful. This author is a multi-talented writer with the different genres that she is able to successfully compose. <EXCERPTS> Immaculate Ejaculate You spew male dogma, certain that we need the life in our dead‑womb‑minds as surely as you need nodding approval from those you subjugate your swollen, phallic ego has offered you a tyranny of dreams, and you kneel and let yourself be knighted because it is your duty but stop greedy guardian, for I have … Continue reading →

Face Down in the Low Road

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on December 14, 2015 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 17, 2022

Relationships, family estrangement, killing fire alarms with a hammer, dubious spirituality, rebuttals to critics–Baeli again tackles the human condition, using her own experiences as fodder. Anecdotal, sometimes; honest and thought provoking, always. Social psychology from the trenches.   “Though at times incendiary, Baeli’s straightforward, no-holds-barred style is rather like a political debate should be: fair but firm; and always backed up by facts. When she tackles more personal fare, there’s an overt sense of profound sensitivity, not often found in one with so strong a voice.” ~KIWI Club Reviews CONTENTS Ship That Passed Too Swiftly Surviving Family Member Two Alarm … Continue reading →

Literary Loitering

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on December 14, 2015 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 17, 2022

With her usual flair for passion and wit, Baeli shines as she examines reading habits–her own, and that of others–in this 3rd volume of the Reading, Writing & No Arithmetic series. On display are also more of her thoughts about her writing process and the sometimes difficult obstacles that go along with being an Indie author and publisher. With essay titles like Thoughts from a Literary Contrarian, Alien Methodology, Scribe’s Melancholia, Literary Mind-Expansion & 50 Shades of Grape, Careless Editors & Languishing in Romantical Writer Myths, Holding Saddlehorn, Fiction Writes Me, Good Writers Aren’t Good Accidentally, and Writer as Reader, … Continue reading →

The Truth of Fiction

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on December 14, 2015 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 17, 2022

Kelli Jae Baeli, Indie Publisher with Indie Literati Press and Lesbian Literati Press, and author of over 45 books, numerous articles, stories and essays, shares some thoughts about the writing craft and the writer’s life, which necessarily also includes lots of reading, followed by thoughtful examinations, splenetic ruminations and often humorous outbursts of weirdness. From Stranger Fiction, Reviews & Truthiness “First, an opinion isn’t always a fact. Second, you can’t please everyone. And third, and most importantly, (and with the most paradoxical irony), this concept: I may have failed to do the best job on a book, if I didn’t … Continue reading →

Wear a Helmet

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on February 20, 2014 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 17, 2022

     In Wear a Helmet, Baeli again displays her ability to swing from unapologetic humor to revealing even the most painful fragments of her psyche. From Early Voting for Idiots & The Insane, wherein she laments the often confusing and convoluted items found on a ballot, to the ignorant among us in Them Thangs that Hold up Books, and on to a painful journey through her own healing in Herniated Disco: Lies & The Lying Doctors who Tell Them, and an examination of hoarders in I Don’t Keep Hoardly Anything, Baeli marches fearlessly toward the politically incorrect, waving her … Continue reading →

Immortality or Something Like it

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on February 20, 2014 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 17, 2022

Another collection of essays from a fresh new voice in nonfiction, Baeli is nothing if not honest. From admitting profound insecurity as an over-forty single lesbian in the dating pool (Id, Ego, Super-Ego & the Social Security Number), to a revealing trip journal during a recent relocation, wherein she falls prey to a panic attack (Going to Denver Because You’re Dead), and the pensive examination of the self in Things I Don’t Need, Too Much World, and Held by Jell-O, the author of Immortality or Something Like It strides unabashed through the battlefield of life familiar to us all, sometimes … Continue reading →

The Speed of Dark

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on February 20, 2014 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 17, 2022

        EXCERPT from Snatched I, Nola Randolph, do solemnly swear that the testimony I am about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me…Sappho. Could be, she’d be uttering words to that effect soon, if things didn’t go according to plan. She couldn’t even enjoy the newspaper anymore. Even when she skipped the society pages, she still found some little tidbit about how Mr. Wallace Blank had done this or that, donated to some charity, or built some new building that brought untold benefits to humankind. He was often … Continue reading →

Too Much World

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on February 20, 2014 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 17, 2022

In the newest collection of essays by voluminous author, Kelli Jae Baeli, we find the candid confessions her readers have come to expect. In this volume, she explores the more colloquial experiences of popular television programs and books (The Year of Good Shows, The X-Factor: Not Just Another Idol, The X-Factor: Try to Rap Your Head Around This, Book Review: Valencia)  but then goes deeper into such subjects as the precarious nature of living (Deerly Beloved, Birthday Bash, Inhospitable Chair) abandonment, unrequited love and loyalty, (Letter to a Battered Heart, FWB, Happy Effing Anniversary, Extended Stress Hotel, 8 Things I … Continue reading →

Sullied Pajamas

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on February 20, 2014 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 17, 2022

A discerning lesbian shares her dating, relationship and sexual experiences. from Love on the Racks …Fun with Metaphors Dating and relationships can be compared to buying clothes… You go to a place where all the clothes are, and grab a shirt off the rack, hold it up and say, “This is the perfect shirt for me.” You pay for it, (sometimes too high a price), take it home, and then when you actually try it on, you realize it doesn’t fit at all, binds you in all the wrong places, is the wrong color, or makes you look ridiculous. Then … Continue reading →

Strictly Academic

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on February 20, 2014 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 17, 2022

PENDING UPDATE EXCERPTS In a world where literacy has become a major problem, it is somehow tragic that a promising student should have such a precarious chance at academic success. Tests are a source of dread for most students. Various reasons are given, yet there is an underlying similarity between all the students who have test anxiety: The One-Right-Answer Fable. From an early age, all of us are taught that there is only one answer to each question. This myth extends beyond curriculum, and infiltrates the very fabric of psychological development and sociological interaction. One researcher has said that “…there … Continue reading →

Flash Fiction, Vol. 1

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on February 20, 2014 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 17, 2022

Kelli Jae Baeli     A collection of short fiction about right and wrong, greed, estrangement, a Chihuahua, what makes us real, bad customer service and rude patrons, a loveable mutt, a lesson learned, a talking newspaper, dealing with the unschooled, apparitions, the future as past, and accepting loss.   excerpt Jag <span style=’mso-fareast-language:EN-US’>Carl Hammond steered the Jaguar out of Beasley’s Fine Imports, his hands loose upon the wheel. No more white-knuckled driving for him. No more fears of a blowout on the interstate at sixty-five. No sir, by God, he’s crossed over into that Promised Land of financial security. … Continue reading →

Crossing Paths

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on February 20, 2014 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 17, 2022

  “From the maudlin to the absurd, and all roads in between, Baeli asserts her unique brand of scathing humor, raw sincerity, and insightful angst in this collection of essays.” ~KIWI Club Reviews From Being Fully Human: “It’s a real challenge to be okay when your past rears its head via the opinions from those who were alongside you during the journey; those who saw the dark side of your soul, the ones who might have felt the sting of your lessons, the pain of your anger or angst or confusion. It then becomes about forgiving yourself; and yet, why … Continue reading →

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

"I dreamed I was somewhere doing something and there was this other person who was there and I knew them but they were someone else really and I was trying to do something but I don't remember what. And then I woke up."

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)

Favorite Quotes

I cannot accept any concept of God based on the fear of life or the fear of death or blind faith. I cannot prove to you that there is no personal God, but if I were to speak of him I would be a liar.
