Good Luck With That:
Hubris in Pricing Indie Author's Books

Posted on by

My wife belongs to several writing and reading groups on Facebook (as do I, of course) and she engages with many of them. She is constantly sharing with me the idiotic stuff some writers do and say. Recently, there was a conversation on one group where an author was selling a 90 page book for $18, and my wife, Melissa, pointed out that this was a ridiculous price. The author balked, and said that Melissa cared more about the price per page than the quality of the writing. My wife responded: Melissa Walker : here’s what it’s about to me…Let’s … Continue reading →

Unmoderated Moderate Attempts Moderation

Posted on by

From blog ideas archive…. I got into an unplanned debate on Facebook. Most debates on Facebook are, in fact, unplanned. you know how it is. Most of the time, it begins with some innocent status update of mine, but this time, I started it by responding to something I felt needed clarification. I always feel a need to do that when i think something is being misrepresented or over-simplified. The following exchange was very thought-provoking and I agreed with many of the sensibilities of this poster, but the rub is always in the specifics, the semantics. This sort of debate is … Continue reading →

Don’t Make me Unfriend You

Posted on by

When you blend your professional and personal life on Facebook, there will inevitably be instances where the two collide, and not in a good way. Some people might like your writing and be big fans who buy all your books, while they simultaneously make snarky comments to personal posts you make, regarding, say political issues–even when they are not, themselves, properly informed of the issues and the ramifications thereof. If they can’t see the forest for the trees, perhaps it’s time to stop venturing blindly into territory for which they have no map. The hateful rhetoric in our political milieu, … Continue reading →

Along Came a Spider

Posted on by

It’s not like I didn’t expect to hear from the usual suspects in regard to my 6-volume book, God on a Stick (An exhaustive investigation into Christianity and why I decided it made no damn sense) formerly titled, Supernatural Hypocrisy: The Cognitive Dissonance of a God Cosmology But even now, I can be surprised by the variations of hubris and ignorance, even among those who claim no religion. My Facebook friend, Jackie LeMerand, posted on her wall that she had just purchased my book, and then, shall we say, Along Came a Spider.   Jackie LaMerand Yesterday at 9:13am · Kelli‘s … Continue reading →

Belated & Premature Well-Wishing

Posted on by

  This morning, I woke–still groggy from my trip to Ellaville–and had to fend off a Kissy-Monster. It was terrible. I can’t really talk about it. But my beloved had put a card and a little velvet pouch on the pillow next to me. A little gold bracelet and a sweet card. Valentine’s day is not a big deal here…yet, she had not ignored it…she is sneaky that way.  I had decided to ignore the event, so it wouldn’t make her feel guilty for not acknowledging it. Now I’m the one who feels guilty that I didn’t go ahead and … Continue reading →

Clogging the Feed

Posted on by

Dear Facebookers: I will try not to clog the feed. I will try to post things with some time in between, but FIRST: I am posting to MY PAGE. If you don’t want what i post in your feed, it’s simple to just click the arrow and remove my posts from YOUR FEED. That’s called Choice. It’s a great concept. SECOND: please know, that i am not posting a bunch of flower pictures. Let’s just get our priorities clear, shall we? I am posting information that i feel voters should know in order to make an informed decision. And I … Continue reading →

Vamoosing

Posted on by

Suspended my Netflix account. Still packing, desperately needing boxes. Downstairs, I pulled up everything in that storage room, which was the contents brought so far from storage when I actually thought I was going to be living here permanently, and her mother had finally moved, so I could do that. But only after we had ripped up the carpet down there and cleaned the unbelievable nastiness her mother lived in. bleach fumes, up and down stairs, aching body. I realized I would have to leave some things behind because it wouldn’t fit in my car or in storage, and I … Continue reading →

Mind-Bending Esoterica

Posted on by

 Open Letter to Spiritual Person Regarding Belief in Supernatural based on several posts on Facebook to my Wall.  First, this subject matter does not lend itself to a sound-byte. That’s why science is often wrongly interpreted as unable to respond to wild claims from believers in the supernatural. Complicated things require complicated explanations. Second, this content is not directed at you, CMorte, exclusively. I will be speaking both toward your comments, and toward the spiritual community at large. Third, yes I was a little harsh.  I will try to keep my anger at bay long enough to explain why I … Continue reading →

Review of Random Act of Blindness on weRead:   “I didn’t want to put this book down, the characters had me hooked from the start, the erotica so real, I wanted to be there.

I am so looking forward to my next novel by Kelli Jae Baeli.” ~ Joanne Cincotta, Australia EXCERPTS: Never, in all her days, had she imagined herself in a position like this. Vivid fantasies aside, Rachel had never considered acting on the … Continue reading →

Shamelessly Stolen Meme Survey

Your ex calls wanting to hangout, what do you say? By ex, I will assume you mean, ones I had a relationship with for longer than a year. Depends on who it is. Although, I have to say there are few with whom i would like to hang out…maybe the first one, but don’t see her calling after all these years…I quite thoroughly broke her heart…but i would hang out with her if she did call….and the 4th one…the one who started as girlfriend, and wound up being my best friend. What do you think about sex before marriage? This … Continue reading →

Moving Back into the Closet, Cursing.

Posted on by

*This is transferred from Facebook for reasons that will be clear toward the bottom. This is another fine example of why i keep saying I am Pariah, many times over. _______________ Jae Baeli I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I’m going to have to go back in the closet with my atheism, at least on facebook and on my main blog. I’m trying to find dates and a partner, and everyone is so brainwashed, they prejudge you based on that, before they even get to know you. My odds are already dismally low by being gay, among … Continue reading →
