Thoughts on my current post-apocalyptic novel. Available May 2019 My paranoia began with the trump administration. Many Americans felt immediately in peril when that dangerous orange buffoon stole the election. I had heard the buzzword infrastructure, and warnings about how it was failing, but until the last few years, I wasn’t even sure what infrastructure really was. I thought it just meant roads and bridges. When I learned that it also included, most crucially, our utility/electrical grids, and then when there were reports that Russian hackers had infiltrated our grid and were just perched there, able to attack at any …Continue reading →

Sometimes the best decisions are the ones we make when we have no choice. “Kudos to Ms. Baeli! This story is fantastic. Talk about covering some ground (or space) in a short book–this is a prime example of brilliant writing.” “I remembered the history lessons my grandmother gave me, passed down from her mother, and her mother’s mother. How it used to be perfectly acceptable for two of the same gender to mate. All it took was the apathy of the people, and one fascist regime—one started by a man named P. Murt D’lanod—taking over the governing bodies, and all …Continue reading →

Print version available soon! 5.0 out of 5 stars Pooly Fall: Masterfully weaving three tales into one epic adventure By cathie1245 on June 17, 2016 To say that I’m in geek heaven over this story is an understatement. It’s always fun to have guest appearances of characters show up in another story but Cross Pollination #1 takes this to level expert in the art of weaving multiple story lines into one cohesive and riveting adventure. And the difference is in the details. Every single character has already been well established in their original series but we are still learning …Continue reading →
EXCERPT: Chapter 1 Blood rushed to her face, her skin erupted in heat, her heart thumped around in her chest like a Pacific Halibut caught on the beach. She was far too young for menopause. So, the sensation was her body’s way of telling her something else. She didn’t know what. Maybe just for the Halibut, she joked wryly. The sensation passed, and her skin temperature returned to normal, heart rate calming. She pressed the cuff of her shirt to the sweat beads on her upper lip and took a long breath, fending off vertigo. Maybe she’d have to make …Continue reading →
EXCERPT: Sivon stood examining the spot in the trees. It was all covered over, now, with fresh growth, though that portion of the ground seemed out of place. Different, somehow. Alien. She smirked. Turning, she scanned the field leading to the farmhouse, her smile gone as she considered what she was charged to do. There had to be another way. Maybe she could reason with him. She started up the incline toward the house, the tightening in her gut intensifying as she neared the structure. She distracted herself with more idle thoughts. Concentrated on her steps, and the …Continue reading →
Interesting change of pace May 4, 2017 Although not my preferred subject matter, I decided to give Somewhere Else a try since I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of the other books that I’ve read by Kelli Jae Baeli. This book focused on alternative ideas about our existence coupled with Baeli’s trademark wit and humor. This novella was entertaining and opened my mind to that alternative thinking. 5.0 out of 5 starsGood fun By Deanne Kearns on October 25, 2014 Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase I hope Kelli Jae Baeli had as much fun writing this book as I did reading …Continue reading →
