Now available–Tristoon the Incorrigible

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on August 7, 2017 by Kelli Jae BaeliAugust 10, 2017

Only 99 measly cents on Amazon. (or free on KU). After Beowulf, and before Xena, there was Tristoon… (a spoof) “….Then she had made her way back to the Redwood, ushering out the dwarf-people who had taken time out from their incessant cookie-baking to try on her clothes.” From Note to the Reader: Hello, Reader, glad to see you reading. Especially something of mine. I hope you’ll do that again with—oh, ALL my work. For now, a few things about Tristoon: It was written in 1984 after I took a British Literature course. I loved the Beowulf story, but found … Continue reading →

Venetian Blinds

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

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

"Our definition of war needs updating to reflect our modern world. The Founding Fathers could not have anticipated the Internet. Cyberspace is now the new battlefield, & so that means treason applies to this situation with the Trump administration."

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)

Quotes for Writers

My own experience is that once a story has been written, one has to cross out the beginning and the end. It is there that we authors do most of our lying. ~ Anton Chekhov

Word of the Day

miasmamy-AZ-muh Noxious exhalations from putrescent organic matter, poisonous effluvia or germs polluting the atmosphere. A dangerous, foreboding, or deathlike influence or atmosphere.

Favorite Quotes

“Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.” ~Robert F. Kennedy

If you bash Biden for something he cannot control, you are electing a Republican.

If post offices are on federal land, shouldn't PO Boxes be exempt from state laws that attempt to block mailing contraceptives?

If Republicans in Texas want to replace slavery with “involuntary relocation” then I want to replace Independence Day with — Stolen Land Day. #LandBack
