Video: Great TV, an Inspiring Author, and a Humble Tango by da-AL

Posted on by da-AL
My husband I do a little dance for our dear cousins.

Someone said that a good story makes you both laugh and cry. To me, a remarkable story does all that while capturing the nuances of how each of us can be wonderful yet flawed. Bramwell, a TV show I only recently discovered, does it all. It’s from the 1990s, which apparently is so old that the closest to a trailer for it that I could find for you is this opening…

I’m discussing Bramwell to tell you about the inspiring screenwriter. Wikipedia notes, “Lucy Gannon once worked as a military policewoman, a residential social worker, and a nurse, and lived in a concrete council house with no central heating. She later moved to a converted barn in Derbyshire and now lives near Cardigan, in Wales.” Here she describes how she came to writing…

And here, my friends, is a tango that my husband and I danced for our dear cousins in Gold Coast, Australia…

What makes great writing for you?

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.

  3. I never heard of the series you mention, but then I didn’t own a tv in the 1990s. But the trailer looks interesting.
    The screenwriter is an inspiring person, I must say!

    And your tango, nothing “little” about that … you are getting- or are already – quite the experts.

    I like different things about different authors. Sometimes it is the story, sometimes the protagonists and the way they are portrayed, sometimes the language in itself …

    1. I truly touched, Lucy — of course I love all my visitors & followers — but as far as I know, you are my first celebrity visitor ❤

  5. What a fascinating person Lucy Gannon is – such an interesting interview. Her writing process is unique as she has no formal education but is totally devoted to doing something she loves and obviously loves to write.
    As for your tango – you and your husband are wonderful dancers, a delight to watch.
