Antoinette is the real deal. Her writing is incisive, witty and whipsmart. Her imagery is fresh and unexpected while her sense of story never falters. Do yourself a favour and pick up something she's written.
Susan Renouf, Editor and Publisher.

At once clever, heartfelt and humorous, Antoinette Bekker's distinctive writing style is easily gobbled up. Her unique mix of quirk and realism makes Dr. Annabel Lee and the Disappearance of Absalom the Bull a fresh, fast-paced and memorable read.

Antoinette is a writing star, as her numerous awards and short-listed works already attest, so early in her career as an author. She has a deft authority on the page; seeking that two-dimensional portal we look for as writers. Some of us never find it or have difficulty fitting the parameters of the Way. Antoinette arranges, defines, and reconfigures the portal, emerging on the other side with a gifted surprise in storytelling.
