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.

You are sweet to hunt long enough to find it as well as to ask about my book. It isn’t published yet – I’m gathering a following of folks I hope will be interested in it while I finish editing it — will keep everyone posted. 🙂

BONJOUR AMIE VOUTES ETES SYMPA ET JOLIE
Chaque jour quelque soit l’heure

J’allume mon ordinateur
Ce n’est qu’une petite boîte rectangulaire
Parfois elle me fais râlé
Parce qu’elle me fait attendre
Pourtant elle a le cœur tendre
Elle t’envoie mes courriers
Sans jamais se fatiguer
Elle affiche mes mots
Sans jamais me dire si c’est trop
Elle transporte mes images
Qu’elle affiche sur tes pages
Maintenant encore
Elle t’envoie un bisou de ma part
Te souhaite une très très belle journée
Profite bien
Bernard
