Happiness Between Tails speaks to and from the heart. It connects lovers — of pets, authors, books — and of my still-unreleased novels, “Flamenco + the Sitting Cat” and “Tango + the Sitting Cat.” The stories are my love letters to all who fear they're too odd, too damaged, too old, too whatever to find happiness.

Age-ism is so real, purely from the fact that is so deeply ingrained into daily life – from casual jokes to marketing campaigns, it’s everywhere.
