Hello. I'm Antoinette Beard/Sorelle Sucere, artist and writer of romantic mystery thrillers, kinky historical and fantasy fiction, gothic and other types of short stories and occult info. Welcome! This 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 flippers and to all eager readers, everywhere.

Meanwhile...
Oh, yes, --- I write in a lot of genres, including Noir mystery and romantic western. 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. ;)

The Man Who Wasn't There...
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there!
He wasn't there again today.
I wish, I wish he'd go away!
When I came home last night at three,
The man was waiting there for me.
But when I looked around the hall,
I couldn't see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don't you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door!... (slam!)
Last night I saw upon the stair,
a little man who wasn't there!
He wasn't there again today.
Oh, how I wish he'd go away.
--- William Hughes Mearns.
