The Crying Princess (Book) - 12/1/2008 4:42:34 PM
I've read THE CRYING PRINCESS, from first to last, from "Once upon a time," to "...lived hapily ever after." Simply holding the book in my hands transports me back to childhood innocense. It took me back to childhood dreams of waking one morning to find out I was really born a princess. I look down from my bedroom loft to see below me-- my royal mother and father. And life changes for me forever, for I am now a princess. Thank you Ms Joyce for sending the royal carriage in the form of your book THE CRYING PRINCESS.
You will be drawn into the story and discover why the Princess Elysia crys crystal droplets and why Twilight the flying fish tells her "... We must be calm."
You will see for yourself the fantasy beings that live in the Princess's world by many illustrations. You will see a tiny purple dragon that lands in the middle of the princess's palm, a white-winged horse, Reddy the dragon and a fussy-girly creature that looks like a cat.
I read the book for my own pleasure. But, oh--to have a child sit on my lap, boy or girl, and read the story out loud. Transport yourself back to childhood, for in THE CRYING PRINCESS you will encounter challenges aplenty, interesting life forms and most of all a royal future to be planned! Thank you Ms Joyce for carring me back to childhood on the back of a red dragon!

Sandy May,
This is a sweeping tale for the ages. Your writing is strong like a dragon with fire and passion to singe the senses, and cunning and slippery like a snake to escape from the reader's clutches when he thinks he has the story figured out. I hope you will continue to pen these wise old stories to share with the this world who in its age age and pain has forgotten how to dream again.

Ghostly Encounters (Short Story) - 9/3/2008 7:39:44 PM
No, Sandie, You're not crazy. I lived in a 100 yr old haunted house for six years, with six kids, five in their teens. They were all a bit psychic and constantly saw ghosts, heard them and very strange things happened there. I figure it was poltergeist activity from hormonal teens, until the night I heard the house breathe. Many of our encounters are in my memoir, . . .And The Whippoorwill Sang, a funny, poignant, sad story of the loss of one of my teens to a dwi vehicular accendent, a block away from the haunted house. So I'm a believer!!

Sandie, as you suggested I read and enjoyed this story. I do believe and understand what you are saying, my sister, her husband and litte one lived in a house supposedly built on an Indian burial ground. This may sound like an old wife's tale but I spent many nights there babysitting and I could tell you more than a few things that happened while I was there. However I do not fear ghosts for someone very wise said it is not the dead we should fear but the living.

I really enjoyed this story. We believe in ghosts.My mother is still at our home sometimes, especially if some one is ill. She died in 2002.. We used to hear noises in the kitchen and some times seea shadow , or here some one speaking our name. ...M

This is very entertaining. I myself am a bit into paranormal stuff. I think that ghosts do exist and I can almost feel your heartbeat racing while sitting alone with nothing but a few overhead lights to keep you company on that cold chilly winter evening while your memory goes back to the stories told by Peter...makes me want to say Boo!...very very nicely written.
Hugs to you

Admirable writes and insights into Chinese mythology.
Definately in my opinion Americans could learn an abundance from the Oriental society and traditions, to be appreciated and respected.
Blessings and take care,

Ghostly Encounters (Short Story) - 6/6/2008 6:44:06 PM
Sandie your narrative was entertaining and well written, an easy flowing read in fact. Yes, I remember when you wrote us about the strange goings on at the workplace and some of the stories the guy told you.
Must admit I like those ghost hunter quests on television the type of enactments as to whether they are true or not, makes us even more inquisitive.
Smile and blessings take care as always,

I usually don't read long stories, but your title captivated me and once I started reading I couldn't stop. I think most of us grew up on ghost stories and there is so much intrigue and suspense in reading them. I really enjoyed your story.
Legend of The Moon Goddess and The Moon Festival (Short Story) - 3/27/2008 3:23:40 PM
Thank you Sandie May. I agree with Regis and Sage. Just yesterday I was talking with my spouse's mother about the dedication the Chinese people have to family, work, and worship. It would be wonderful if the whole world could actually follow these values, that have been handed down through the centuries.
I also agree with Sandra Mushi, that Hou Lin should have been punished too, but then where would the legend be of the Moon Goddess.
Thank you for sharing this part of your heritage. I really enjoyed reading this.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace one earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

Poor Chang O! Hou Yin should have been punished too for his greediness. Like Marygrace wrote - a timeless message you have here, Sandie.
Merry Christmas and God bless,
Sandie.

This is a very relevant story that keeps on giving throughout centuries. Chinese mythology is very educational for everyone to learn about morals. I value Chinese mythology and Chinese people. Sandie, you have a heritage to be so proud of...Blessed Be...
