Minocqua Duology #1
Throwing Caution
ASIN moved from less recent edition
The first book in the Minocqua Trilogy - a Number 1 bestseller in Lesbian Romance "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 defer most women, but not Jade or Petra. And, if you listen carefully, Ms Baeli speaks to every woman who has loved or has wanted love. A fast-paced thrill ride of words and emotions. An indulgent escape."
Phobic writer Jade Winslow flew across an ocean and most of the US just to be with the woman of her dreams, Psychologist and novelist, Petra Davis. But their first encounter is threatened by the bitterness of a vengeful heart.
As a snowfront moves in to strand them in a cabin in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, Jade and Petra will use all their literary plotting abilities to outsmart a stranger with a plan. (Be sure to read the sequel, book 2, Building Character.)

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.

What caught my attention was that it said Northwoods. I really loved how these women were meeting for the first time and all these things were happening to them. This was a fun little back and forth storyline. I definitely recommend this book.
