Run the Risk:
A Shamrock Cove romance

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on September 17, 2016 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 18, 2022

“…it’s the art of storytelling here that elevates this book above the others and the ability to toss in such a clever plot twist and still have the pieces fall into a cohesive story. Strong characters, witty dialogue, and an intriguing romance will keep you entertained throughout.” ~Amazon Review   On her 50th birthday, in the throes of her first hot flash, Sierra Kipling gets a phone call. The father she has shunned for 23 years has died, leaving her his bar, The Risk, along with a slew of bad feelings. Unhappy in her law career and life in general, … Continue reading →

Pooly Fall:
(Cross-Pollination)

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on June 13, 2016 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 17, 2022

What happens when you mix a small town sheriff’s department with writers, private eyes, paleontologists, and witches? Maybe this. India and Tegan are settling into their lives together, but some strange and perilous events have them both baffled. The AKA Investigations team have a new tour bus, and on their maiden voyage, pleasure turns to business when two deputies fall victim to a heinous crime. Meanwhile, the main characters of New Harbor Witches appear to face the forces of darkness and light, vying for possession of a mysterious device invented by Nicola Tesla that holds unimaginable power. Deftly mixing genres … Continue reading →

  Excerpt: His eyes fell to the package on the floor of the culvert, his voice echoing in the concrete tunnel. “What have you done?” Roman hissed. “What you won’t.” Roman squinted at his sister. “Again, I thought we were supposed to be sharing the helm.” She shoved her hands in the pockets of her patchwork leather coat. “That ship has sailed.” Flippant as always. “So is this your version of a coup? Shall I graciously step down and leave you to your own devices?” “Probably wise.” “Rayna!” he scolded. “You’re not suited to leadership, dear brother. Your spine is … Continue reading →

Also Known as Blue, Dark & Bright (AKA 6)

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on July 16, 2015 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 17, 2022

    “It was hard to focus on what she said. The blood. It was just everywhere. All over her. All over the floor in the hallway….” EXCERPTS: It was hard to focus on what she said. The blood. It was just everywhere. All over her. All over the floor in the hallway. Chloe was talking. I heard other voices. Heard the Coke machine. The rifling of papers at the nurse’s station. A distant siren. My eyes on the blood. But Chloe. I couldn’t hear Chloe. “What? What?” I said, blinking my way back to her eyes. Chloe still clutched … Continue reading →

Pariahs & Prodigals (Rain Falls #3)

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on July 16, 2015 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 17, 2022

        EXCERPT: Meeting My Maker & Other Kitchen Disasters The Krups KM-7000. It ground its own beans. It made perfectly calibrated coffee. It was, without question the best Christmas present she’d ever received. Bless Tegan. Bless her cute little blonde head full of wonderful gift ideas. India stood in front of the divine contraption, having added distilled water to the reservoir, loaded the organic cone filter, poured in the Costa Rica Peaberry beans, and listened to the machine create the freshly pulverized, aromatic grounds, begin the brewing cycle. Her nostrils flared with hedonistic satisfaction at the scent, … Continue reading →

Keepers:
New Harbor Witches #1

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on January 13, 2015 by Kelli Jae BaeliSeptember 21, 2020

“An intelligent, well written story. In a refreshing departure from many ‘paranormal romances’, this book is truly well written. A combination of a page turning mystery combined with the melding of people that you want to cheer for. Treat yourself and read this book!” From an already accomplished writer, comes an engaging, sexy, and suspenseful new series about two sisters who thought they were ordinary, until they discovered they were not. Dane sparks runs a bistro and her best friend Trevor is the pseudo-chef who has tried every imaginable way to kill himself, but oddly, never succeeds. Gemma is a … Continue reading →

In Absentia (Rain Falls #2)

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on March 29, 2014 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 17, 2022

        EXCERPT: The entire morning consisted of class instruction, a great deal of hand-out materials, and questions and answers. By the mid-day hour, things shifted to hands-on training, and that’s when the instructor brought out George, the resuscitation dummy. All class members were expected to demonstrate their understanding of mouth to mouth and chest compression techniques. She had read the materials, and had paid attention while the instructor showed them the proper procedure. Then she watched them all present their skills in varying degrees of precision. Mostly, demonstrating the lack thereof, she thought. Her hubris was challenged … Continue reading →

Quintessence

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on March 28, 2014 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 17, 2022

    EXCERPT A buzzing in my head brought me awake. I blinked at the glass a few inches over my face. Ceiling tiles, a florescent light fixture beyond the transparent barrier. I placed both palms on the canopy, feeling a little like I was in a coffin. Pushing on it, I heard another sound like airbrakes again, and the canopy folded back, as if I was emerging from the cockpit of an F16. I sat up. At the foot of the tube, sat Ethan Pritchard. He looked just like the photo on the back of his book. Scruffy salt … Continue reading →

Also Known as DNA (AKA 2):
(AKA Investigations #2)

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on March 28, 2014 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 17, 2022

“A treat to read. It was touching; suspenseful; joyful; and most of all, hilarious. Thank you, Kelli Jae Baeli, for such endearing entertainment.”   “…in true AKA Investigations style, events conspire to spiral out of control, testing the fortitude, depth of feeling and sheer courage of each of the characters. Nail-biting action and heart-stopping tension take the reader on a roller-coaster ride through the pages, piling one catastrophe on top of another and testing the characters to the limit. I wasn’t sure they’d all make it out alive in this one, but it sure had me turning the pages to … Continue reading →

Rain Falls (Rain Falls #1)

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on March 27, 2014 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 20, 2022

#1 bestseller in 3 categories. “If I laugh any harder or more I am going to end up in the hospital. I feel like I can’t breath half the time.” “You can tell within a few pages when the writing is a cut above and it is here. The characters are well-developed, interesting, and very appealing. The dialogue is excellent and the building of the relationship feels realistic not contrived.” India Bell is looking for a regular writing gig to supplement her royalties. She ends up with two assignments – one, to interview up-and-coming lesbian romance writer Tegan Lowry, and … Continue reading →

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

....maybe your atheist friends feel frustrated and misunderstood by you, too. To me "religious" and "theist" are terms I consider pejorative, as do they, I surmise. There are plentiful and cogent reasons for that. There is religion, and then there is GOD--I am disgusted by both, even though GOD ceases to exist the second i reject RELIGION, as one cannot be divorced from the other, because GOD is a being invented by religious people who could not explain the world they lived in, and so manufactured an invisible being...nearly all religious thought stems from myth, (and the rest from human frailty) and myth stems from ignorance and delusion. Spirituality, in my view, is generally a coping mechanism for people who don't care for religion, per se. (And living staunchly in atheism can also cause depressive realism--when you see the world clearly as it really is, it can oppress the faint of heart.) Now, having said that, I have had and continue to have many experiences that might be called "spiritual", but I suspect it's for lack of better word. "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." I believe the Bard was right about that. But it doesn't mean it's about GOD, or religion. It's about those esoteric experiences for which we have no explanation---YET. I believe all things can eventually be explained in a rational way; that doesn't mean there aren't wonderfully mysterious things in this world. And the explanation for them does not detract from their value or wonder. Just because I can't explain them, doesn't mean I should default to "spirituality" or "religion" to give them meaning or veracity. For instance, the concepts of reincarnation and afterlife might be explained by membrane theory, and parallel universes...that's a scientific concept, but it would explain these sensations we have of knowing people before we know them, or having "memories" of other lives.... The bottom line, for me, is that religion has caused more harm, more suffering, and its tentacles reach into every aspect of what is broken in this world. And that is something I will never accept, and I will ALWAYS be angry about.

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)
