Somewhere Else
"Jae has again managed to blend different themes into an entertaining whole. Metaphysics, murder, reincarnation, spirituality, jealousy all bundled into a rollicking, challenging piece of work that will delight you, keep you guessing, and make you think. Thanks, Kelli Jae, for another fine story."
A non-physical walk-in soul makes an agreement with another incarnated soul to take over her body. The Walk-in, perhaps too fearless, and too hungry for the pleasures of the flesh, discovers she has inherited the life of Daelah Murdock, a Mormon goody-two-shoes with a pathological attachment to the color pink. The surrogate soul's life as a lesbian cop did not prepare her for this. Or did it? As a live-in caregiver for two men--one blind, the other wheelchair bound--Daelah's life seems bland and puerile.
Except that someone is trying to kill her.
Who knew the afterlife could be this much fun?
"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."

About the author
Kelli Jae Baeli
123 books146 followers"To me, failing to learn to use the tools one’s craft shows laziness and disrespect for the reader. There are, however, no issues of that sort where Baeli’s writing is concerned. It’s rare to these days to find a writer whose style is technically so nearly perfect, but who’s also a damned good storyteller. I doubt if she is even capable of writing poorly." ~W. Spice
Even after 36 novels, I always try to write the sort of book I would want to read. My favorite thing to do is take a common trope and turn it on its ear. Where you expect a zig, I give you a zag. In my pages, you will find strong female characters, ethical dilemmas, and realistic storylines often filled with adventure and intense pacing, tempered by witty dialog, and happy endings. All are hallmarks of my work.
As a Bestselling Genre-Hopping Indie Author, I’ve enjoyed a sales position in the top 5% of lesbian writers, but I write crossover and mainstream fiction and have authored 26 nonfiction books, as well. All 36 of my FemFic novels have been bestsellers in the genres of domestic suspense, domestic thriller, women's adventure, romantic suspense, apocalyptic, speculative, lesfic, lesbian romance, and science fiction. I’m also a mixed-media artist (mostly clay and abstract painting) and former performing singer-songwriter with over 200 songs.
My wife, Melissa Walker-Baeli, is a budding author in her own right, and we have several co-writing projects coming soon. We live with two dogs, (Noodle and Whatnot) and two cats, (Poppet and Chicklet) on ten acres in the gorgeous Northwoods of Michigan.

I hope Kelli Jae Baeli had as much fun writing this book as I did reading it.
Jae has again managed to blend different themes into an entertaining whole. Metaphysics, murder, reincarnation, spirituality, jealousy all bundled into a rollicking, challenging piece of work that will delight you, keep you guessing, and make you think. Thanks, Kelli Jae, for another fine story.
