If you enjoy this blog, you’ll love my still-unreleased novels. “Flamenco and the Sitting Cat” and “Tango and the Sitting Cat” are my love letters to you and to all who worry they’re too odd or old, overly damaged or young, or under deserving of happiness alone or with someone.
About Me
Reading, writing, and travel hooked me early. It was inevitable, given my multi-cultural family’s love of books and our frequent relocations to cities across the U.S. and Spain. Through it all, writing to friends and my dear grandmothers in Buenos Aires and Barcelona was a constant. Today I’m settled in Los Angeles with my Iranian-American husband who loves world dance, cooking, healthy living, music, and animals as much as I do. K-D, our one-of-a-kind-mix dog, rescues me from brooding over commas for too long.
As a journalist, I won an Emmy (click here for the documentary), was nominated for one the year before, and earned assorted cable TV awards. One of my short stories is in Verdad Magazine. Twice, I was honored as an “Emerging Author” at the Literary Women Festival of Authors, and my visual art features in “New Directions in Altered Books,” by Gabe Cyr and California State Long Beach’s literary journal, Rip Rap.

Bonjour ou Bonsoir mon Ami, Amie et belle jeune fille
Une légende dit
Qu’il existe un paradis
On y trouve un trésor
Celui de la vraie amitié
Ce bien précieux d’amitié est une fleur
Elle est remplit de bonheur
Sent-tu ce parfum
C’est celui de l’amitié qui jamais ne s’éteint
Donc je me suis dit que cette légende t’était destinée
Car en toi j’ai trouvé un ami ou une amie vraiment spéciale
Bonne journée on bonsoir
gros bisous
Bernard

Coucou du matin ou du soir
Regardant L’heure
J’ai traversé toute la ville
pour aller à la boulangerie chercher des croissants
Et les partager avec toi avec un petit café
Et sur tes joues te dire bonjour ou bonsoir
mon Amie (i) si précieux
A la fraîcheur du matin
J’ai entendu le chant des oiseaux
J’ai vu le soleil qui se lever
je t’envoie un grand bonjour plus chaud que le soleil ,
plus clair que la lune, plus beau que le jour
A la fraicheur de la nuit je me suis dis que tu étais encore la ALORS
Qu’il fais bon te dire et te souhaiter une bonne journée ou soirée
gros bisous.
Bernard
