Pastiche:Stories and Such (Book) - 1/9/2008 9:47:37 AM
Pastiche is a collection of stories, essays and poetry, not "action/thriller" as described. I will fix that when I find how to do it. What is true about Pastiche is that several of the stories and essays are award winners in literary reviews.

The Year of the Rat (Book) - 6/29/2001 7:20:52 PM
Intriguing premise coupled with an evocative, page turning plot ... Written in a masterful style. Bellucci's book is historical drama at its best! RD

The Country Squire (Short Story) - 9/29/2008 11:32:51 AM
"-came with a dog." Shouldn't all of our "places" come with a dog, eh? Keep up the good work, Lucille. Jim

The Crab Season (Short Story) - 5/25/2007 4:14:16 PM
Well, I'm off to the, Crab Shack Restaurant down the street….you made me hungry, Great descriptive! I could see the mounds of shells, and practically taste to the crab.

Winters of the Heart (Short Story) - 5/25/2007 4:07:41 PM

Thanks for sharing this. Love your web page too!

Winters of the Heart (Short Story) - 3/23/2006 6:09:11 AM
A wonderfully written story. I can certainly understand how living with a man completely devoid of good thoughts could cause a woman to eventually give up and fade away. I loved the thought process behind the making of the doll and then leaving it to God as to whether she lived or died. A sad thing to simply give up on life and wait to die. I found this a very thought provoking story and an encouragement to never give up on life.

The Carioca Dobie Derby (Short Story) - 2/19/2006 11:24:36 PM
Beautiful Doberman story, we always wanted one but never got the chance. Critics say the head is too small for the brain which causes the dog to mis-read as they age, don't really know though. Good Luck in your future dog shows... Roger and Birgit

Winters of the Heart (Short Story) - 9/27/2004 3:13:37 PM

I believe you and your family survived because God has a purpose for your life. You are a special child of God and you will be blessed. Have a wonderful New Year! John Michael Domino

Oh what a powerful story... I am angry too... everyone trying to survive even if it mean stealing... how you and your family survived is a miracle.. I am so proud to know you. Plz tell us more. hugs, lindalaw

Shanghai, Feb. 1952 (Article) - 12/19/2008 6:26:43 PM
Lucille.... I wish you would write more often... I read this story and could envision what you and your sister went thru...altho obviously not the fear or uncertainties... Your description of your mother and father and Murph are so visual... Thank you for writing this story...I want so much to better understand these cultural situations that I would never know about... hugs and peace sweet Lucille... lindalaw

Favors and Other Crimes (Article) - 11/24/2008 11:29:23 PM
Dear Lucille, I loved your article. Your point is well taken. I have "given" money away to friends in need. I have one who said that he will pay me back. I will not hold my breath for I know there is always a GREATER need than to pay someone back, especially in today's economy. You have had a tough life and now you can turn that mess into a message. Blessings, John Michael Domino

well done

The Circle of Rage (Article) - 10/18/2004 12:21:09 PM
For six weeks in January 1952 I reported to the interrogation officer in Shanghai. The accusations of espionage for the U.S. Government seldom varied. I stole secrets and passed them on; who were my collaborators? did I seek the downfall of the People's liberation movement? The man said I would be executed if I did not confess. I was 18 years old.

Favors and Other Crimes (Article) - 1/8/2004 5:52:22 PM
Man, this is why I have not or ever will loan to friends. If their friendship means a lot to me, I'll like them well enough to tell them no. Thanks for making a good point. Debbie

The Deed (Poetry) - 1/12/2009 8:20:01 PM
Lucille...you picked the right time to leave me Lucille...just like Kenny Rogers sings...whew...that was certainly out in left field...but...interesting to say the least...dreams...wow.. reality?? hope not.. hugs, lindalaw

The Deed (Poetry) - 1/12/2009 2:39:09 PM
Interesting concept, but in reality far from the truth. Leaving one to wonder.... Be always safe, Karen

Obi (Poetry) - 11/5/2008 11:20:29 AM
A beautiful message here and tells me lots about where yu live and how you survive too on tea and love and friendships.

California Summer (Poetry) - 11/5/2008 11:19:02 AM
Hopefully Winter will go better and fires will be less and the countryside will get back in order again. Must be trying to live where you live. I have never visited Calif either, but you tell a lot about it.

California Summer (Poetry) - 9/28/2008 9:02:50 PM
Sad commentary for a once very beautiful place.... Be always safe, Karen

Ballad of Yeen Wang (Poetry) - 2/27/2008 3:47:39 AM
I've heard of the practice of foot binding - what price, beauty? Sad - painful to read, but necessary - well done, Lucille. (((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Obi (Poetry) - 2/26/2008 2:48:53 PM
A story of crispness, newness a mere observation, yet a chance to learn and reach out.... Be always safe, Karen

Obi (Poetry) - 2/26/2008 12:05:02 PM
Very nice poem, Lucille; brava! (((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

Obi (Poetry) - 2/26/2008 11:50:32 AM
Beautifully written... Cryssa

Obi (Poetry) - 2/26/2008 10:45:11 AM
Lucille, Absolutely stunning, the unveiling of beauty cloaked under silken kimono and obi - but not too much, leaving a hint of mystery - of wanting to see more - well done. Domo arigato, Lucille-san. (((HUGS))) and love, Karla. My daddy was stationed in Japan for three years, one of my favorite gifts from him is a book about Japanese culture. :)

Ballad of Yeen Wang (Poetry) - 1/26/2008 3:11:22 PM
Powerful pen excellently written~`*

Ballad of Yeen Wang (Poetry) - 1/18/2008 3:35:07 PM
I viewed a video recently wherein an elderly Chinese woman was showing the result of foot binding..I cried for days..when will the plight of women cease in this woeful world.. Thank you for bringing attention to this evil tradition.. Vesna

This still goes on? Hope not...

LULLABY (Poetry) - 9/5/2007 11:42:12 AM
Good Day to you Lucille, I have read "Lullaby". I found it entertaining and that its point is well taken, that we should treat important things in our lives with respect, we will sleep better at night. That's my take on it. Please feel free to check out my site at www.freewebs.com/kendoo or here in the "Den"

LULLABY (Poetry) - 9/2/2007 6:53:49 AM

A delightful poem. Homeschool

LULLABY (Poetry) - 3/19/2006 2:02:47 PM
Loved it all including these lines ~ This hour of the bells, hells? perhaps belles, but no Glass slippers upon these feet, oh no, rather shards of glass of said slippers exploring the concavities Of that region below the breast that I would cut away and Throw to the dogs, or hogs, into the bogs Excellent work.. love joanne

LULLABY (Poetry) - 12/25/2005 6:28:11 PM

LULLABY (Poetry) - 9/27/2004 9:10:50 AM
Wow. You have inspired me to eat less and take care of my tum. Your work is a treat - I must avoid meat. VBest wishes Miller PS VBest was a spelling mistake but I quite like it. Perhaps it was meant to be.
