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.

My mother, first of all- and I,her first-born son, am a lot like her. Mrs. Katherine Vande and Ms. Miriam Kochakian, my prime High School English teachers, taught me how to write.

I’m always in awe of Madame Curie. To be a woman scientist in such an age of men was exceptional.
