Now that All Bets Are Off (Apocalyptic Women, Snug Haven #1) is done and released, I was thinking about how much my novels have been a precursor to the types of books I’m focused on writing at the moment (in my solo endeavors.) I’ve been calling them FemFic, hoping this moniker will take off as a hashtag and as a legit category in popular fiction. (I wrote another blog about this here.) Don’t get me started on my views about our current political landscape, and the need for women-empowerment. Fiction is a staunch ally in social change, and I intend …Continue reading →

“You want to read this book not just for the plot of 2 girls backing down to no one, or the fantastic secondary characters, but because the storytelling is that good. You will be artfully immersed in the sights, the sounds, and all the characters and how they react to one another and to danger.” ~Amazon Review Indie authors Jade Winslow and Petra Davis threw caution to the wind to be together. But now caution is called for when a dark figure from Jade’s past comes calling with murder on her mind. Set against the backdrop of spring in the …Continue reading →
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 →

The first book in the Minocqua Duology – a Number 1 bestseller in Lesbian Romanc.e. “twists and turns in delightfully clever ways as the pair try to avoid trouble that keeps re-gifting itself over and over.” “This is a delightful romp through love and mishap. As is her usual style, this author grabbed my attention at the very first paragraph and would not let go until the very last paragraph. In the evolution of a great love story, the characters encounter twists and curves that would deter most women but not Jade or Petra. And, if you listen carefully, Ms …Continue reading →
“An intelligent, well written story. In a refreshing departure from many ‘paranormal romances’, this book is truly well written.

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 →
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 →
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 →
“This book is well rounded and packed with drama. I wasn’t sure i’d like it at first, as i was foolish enough to think the author was going to take the common route of having the suspicious blond turn out to be evil and wreak havoc on our protagonist. So, i spent the first part of the book on the edge of my seat waiting for the shoe to drop. But that made it all the more enjoyable when i went back and read it a second time, once i knew what was really going on. It’s witty, hot, intelligent, …Continue reading →
“Thank heavens for books like this…please write more….with the nookie…..thanks.” “AKA Sleepy Cat Peak Book 5 is my absolute favorite.

I’ll never think of sasquatch in the same way again thanks to the author!” Jobeth and Phoebe go back to basics in more ways than one. With the Ascension House up and running, and Jobeth busier than ever with her Investigations, Phoebe thinks it’s time that she and Jobeth have a vacation.
