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
Mon Ami AMIE
Il était une fois des gentils bisous
Qui voulaient parcourir le monde
et voir ses merveilles …
Soudain, au détour de la vie
ils ont rencontré ton Amitié
Alors sur ta joue
ils se sont posés, et sont restés
Je te souhaite une bonne
et merveilleuse journée
Suivie d’une douce soirée
Bisous.
Bernard
