Hello. I'm writer Antoinette Beard/Sorelle Sucere. Welcome to my blog, which is dedicated to all the loving, intelligent, brave, wise, strong, gentle, kind, sweet-and-geeky, humble-and-patient, --- whether they have hands, paws, hooves, wings, fins, or even, --- yes, flippers, --- and to all eager readers and hard-working authors, everywhere.
Meanwhile...
I love all creatures. I consider them, all of them, to be sentient beings... I write thrillers, fantasy, mysteries, gothic horror, romantic adventure, occult, Noir, westerns and various types of short stories. I also re-tell traditional folk tales and make old fairy tales carefully cracked. I'm often awake very early in the morning. A cuppa, and fifteen minutes later I'm usually writing something. ;)

What Is Haint Blue?...
"Haint" or haunt blue is a beautiful light blue color that the Gullah people of coastal South Carolina and Georgia used to paint on their ceilings, window frames and doors to keep negativity and evil spirits away.
It was originally made with indigo, which is poisonous, and lime, among other things, such as dragon's blood, a red resin from a special type of palm tree. Haint blue was also thought to repel bugs and spiders.
If you want to get haint blue today probably any good light blue house paint will do. And, you could mix some lime juice and dragon's blood in it, if you want!
