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. ;)

I swear empaths can feel things way before they actually find out things...
...They can feel when they're being played. They can feel when their "friends" are being shitty. They can feel when something isn't right.
There is a type of rare empath called a heyokah. Heyoka is a Lakota word. A heyokah is known as The Sacred Fool or The Sacred Mirror. If you spend time with a heyokah when their energy is strong you will never forget that visit. A heyoka may make you angry as the questions a heyoka asks and the things the heyoka brings out may be truths you don't want to know. A heyoka can instantly discover a phony, a compulsive liar, a swindler or any sort of user, especially, a narcissist. The foolish and shallow underestimate heyokahs, thinking they are eccentric airheads.
Heyokas are quite aware that they're very different. They may have been born a breech baby or with a caul. They are often dyslexic. They can be very quick with some things and abysmally slow with other things. They are very self-aware and comfortable with who they are.
They are often very attuned with all animals and nature and many have so little affinity with machines that they can be said to have negative machine energy. They may not be able to wear a digital watch successfully because the watch will stop after a while or even run backwards. They may have trouble using an ATM machine because the machine won't take a card from their hand. When they plug a device into an electric outlet sparks may shoot out around the plug. They may have trouble using any machine, including computers, sewing machines, microwaves, cellphones, lawnmowers, snowblowers and even cars.
Heyokas are often very creative, clever and intelligent, of course, they are inventive and deep thinkers. Heyokahs are natural healers, and many are clairvoyant or possess other occult gifts. They often look much younger than they are, looking sometimes fifteen to twenty years younger.
Yes... Heyokas are very gifted, but they are usually uncomfortable with others knowing what they are. But, some people guess anyway.

Enjoy the little things in life...
...Because one day you'll look back and realize they were big things.
Small, but fierce...
...I remember reading that a female fox once scared off a bear who was too close to her den. 💖

A 1942 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 60 Special hearse...
Somehow, I have a feeling that the Addams Family might like to restore this one.

My Thriller-Suspense Series "The Sexiest Jewels"...
It still may be hard, --- even if you're only twenty-two years old, even if you're six feet, four inches tall, even if you've been trained as an acrobat since you were eighteen months old... It still may be hard to spring, reaching upward eight feet to grab a window ledge, to boost yourself up, with only the strength of your arms and the power of your legs. It still may be hard to use balconies and jump up to grab the ladders of fire escapes and to leap the spaces between buildings. It definitely is hard going up the sides of those tall city buildings. But, it can be done. The media doesn't know who he is; they've dubbed him "The Panther". Obviously, someone saw a glimpse of him going over a roof at night, completely dressed in black. He's quickly becoming known in the worldwide criminal organization, the Shadow Brotherhood, as "The King Of Thieves". He's Duke Alexander Valentin Iharovich Volkov, a Russian aristocrat, the bad boy, anti-hero of my "The Sexiest Jewels" thriller-suspense series. --- Copyright 2022, by Antoinette Beard.

Please keep your black-furred animals safe this Halloween!!!...
There may be cruel, superstitious people out there who want to hurt them!!!... 😿😿😿
At this time, it is not safe for black-furred animals to be adopted out. Many shelters begin holding off on allowing anyone to adopt black-furred animals (especially cats, but also dogs, rabbits, etc...even orange cats have been off the adoption lists during this time in many shelters) from about mid-way through September until after Halloween passes.
Humans have been known to hunt black-furred animals in earnest during the month of October. Many people in a number of countries harbour malicious, inane superstitions about black cats.
In the United States, black-furred cats and wolves (and increasingly black dogs) seem to be the most targeted animals. They are hated, despised, and shunned at no time more so than during October, the month of Halloween.
This is not a religion-specific, or anti-religious issue. There are no peoples of any single religion or of non-religion who are only to blame for these acts. An illogical hate for black-furred animals spans over many cultures in several parts of the world and usually stems from old-world governmental structure.
There are many people in the United States, as well as all over the world, trying to end this nightmare for black-furred animals (again, at its worst during the month of October), and the backwater superstitions connected with black-furred animals that infect a great number of countries world wide.
That being stated, if you see a black-furred animal out and about during this month (or ANY animal for that matter, as instances of animal abuse rise significantly during the month of October, as the organisation Cat Guardian has pointed out on numerous occasions), please take a little extra time to watch over the helpless animal, ensuring the animal's safety.
It would also be beneficial to mention to whomever the guardian (some call them "owners") appears to be, that it is not safe to let their animals outside (not even in their own backyards, sadly), especially during this terrible time where society shows its underbelly by targeting them based specifically on the colour of their black fur.
Please note: We are not going to engage in debate regarding the validity of the information posted here. We have no intention on arguing with anyone who will waste everyone else's time by claiming that what we have stated here is untrue. We've done our homework. Members of Stopcrush.org have worked in shelters and sanctuaries. Before you post here and claim that we've just "made stuff up", do your own research and call shelters. Ask them about what we've stated. Please do not waste our time or the time of those who are attempting to inform others by sharing posts like this one.
Thank you...
