Living with her husband and young daughter in a soggy RV park in Western Oregon, the author was certain she had just made the biggest mistake of her life-a long-distance move in the middle of a recession. The family's beloved travel trailer, the Jay Flight, takes them on a migration of both place and spirit-from the parched land of the Southwest to the damp forests of the Pacific Northwest, and across lines of culture, socio-economic status, and community. Against the backdrop of the recession, this memoir profiles the quirky cast of characters the family meets while living in the Jay Flight. All on migrations of their own, these new friends ultimately help the author arrive at a new place-a place free of the conventional categories with which we so often identify ourselves. In Wallner's words, "A flock can change. You can get lost from it, and come back to it. And it might not even be the same flock you left. But you can latch on to it and fly south, and hardly notice the difference."
Nick and the boys return from the summer's last hunting trip to find the streets empty, the beachfront and park abandoned, and the windows of their own homes boarded shut. The hunters have become the hunted, in an apocalyptic plague that pits man against beast-very tiny beasts. And Nick is determined to keep his strength, courage and family alive during what could very well be the last winter of their lives.Note: This is book one in a 2-part standalone series, the follow-up is THE HATCH.

Horror is pessimism at its bleakest. Worst-case scenario. The darker side of reality. The glass half-empty. The situation unfathomable.In Black Bubbles, Kelli Owen presents classic genre tropes-ghosts, murderers, zombies, what you'd expect-but it is the characters, rather than the tropes, who experience the story, speak of the horrors, and sometimes survive the inevitable.Sometimes.A decades-old crime shocks a family as evidence points to one of their own. An ancient evil hitchhikes its way to freedom. A child has an unusual fascination with decay. A woman excuses premeditation. Death takes a holiday. Science and good intentions make horrific bedfellows. A man hides from nightmares that invade his waking world.Kelli Owen's first collection gathers over 60,000 words, including a handful of out-of-print, difficult-to-find previously published work, a plethora of new pieces, story notes, and drawings inspired by the title story.

"This is a must read-suspenseful, emotional & very satisfying." "Kelli Jae Baeli proves herself not just a fine storyteller, but one who's highly skilled at her craft, both artist and artisan. Syzygy is an entertaining and rewarding novel and a reading experience I strongly urge you not to miss.""It would be easy for a writer to become so incensed by the prevalence in the real world of the kind of acts depicted fictionally here that her fury detracts from the story, even becomes an obsession. I'm impressed by Baeli's even-handed treatment of these crimes in her narrative. Oh, the outrage is there, to be sure, but she never allows it to get in the way of a most compelling and enjoyable novel. There's no moralizing or demagoguery; the events speak eloquently for themselves. "On December 3, 2012, Saturn, Venus & Mercury aligned. On that same night, three women align to see that justice is done. Ponzi Bonnet thought she had found the perfect husband. A psychologist could certainly understand her damage. But her suspicion of infidelity turns out to be something far worse. Far more sinister. And he had to be stopped. Kenda Harper, an actress and Ponzi's best friend, will do anything to help. Even if it means endangering her own life and denying the yearning in her heart. Anna Dew, an artist and HSP, could not tell her friend Ponzi why she pulled away, but when she learns that her solution only enables bad men to do bad things, she is compelled to make it right. Three women, finding strength amid their weaknesses, embarking on a journey into darkness, and the labyrinths of selfhood, match wits with the men who would inflict harm on other women, and they won't give up until justice is done. "To me, failing to learn to use the tools of 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."
