About: Privacy + Podcast + Engage

Tales of Writing + Books + Compassion + Culture + Wagging Tails = Happiness Between Tails blog & podcast!

Welcome!

Searching for intelligent heartfelt posts about writing, arts, and love by a novelist (tales) that’s fun (happiness) and animal-loving (tails)?

If you enjoy the ideas and sensibility here and on the Happiness Between Tails Podcast, you’ll love my novels once they’re published — “Flamenco and the Sitting Cat” and its sequel, “Tango and the Sitting Cat.” They’re my love letters to all who worry that they’re too odd or old, too damaged or young or whatever, to find happiness alone or with a partner.

About Me: da-AL

da-AL with Emmy
My Emmy statuette.

One of my short stories was printed in Verdad. Twice I’ve been granted the honor of attending Literary Women Festival of Authors as an “Emerging Author.”

Since I learned to hold a pencil, I’ve been a writer. My journalism awards include an Emmy (more about that and the video h-e-r-e) and various cable TV ones.

Some of my visual artist was featured in “New Directions in Altered Books,” by Gabe Cyr and California State Long Beach’s literary journal, Rip Rap. (See some of my art h-e-r-e.)

Some of my childhood was spent in parts of Spain, much of my school years between U.S. coasts. Throughout, I was thrilled to exchange letters with my grandmothers in Argentina and Spain, as well as penpals from the schools I left behind.

My Iranian-American husband and I share a passion for world dance, cuisine, music, travel, animals, and literature. The charming lab-mix dog in the photo keeps me from sitting too long and brooding over commas.

  1. I’ve “seen” you at Annie’s. I’m looking forward to some exploration. Did you ever wonder at the 3D picture a dog’s nose paints in it’s brain?

    1. hi there, ryinger77 🙂 definitely dogs have superpowers that we humans don’t fully appreciate. I lost much of my sense of taste & smell for about a year after I got covid, just before vax came out — to be able to smell is truly a gift

  3. Veo que amas mucho a los animales, y los animales son como niños que nos enseñan el amor incondicional y la alegría de vivir. Por eso me permito enviarles mi antiguo pero siempre válido poema, soy un aficionado que escribe sencillos poemas de rima, pero me dan mucha alegría y fluyen directamente de mi corazón. Los he estado escribiendo durante 20 años. y todavía me dan mucha alegría, espero que a ti también esta simple rima te dé un poco de alegría.

    „Ciesz się jak dziecko”

    Przestań się spieszyć

    Zacznij żyć i życiem się cieszyć

    Ciesz się jak dziecko

    Każdą drobnostką każdą chwileczką

    Bo dziecko najlepiej wie

    Jak każą chwilą życia cieszyć się

    Dzieci są prawdziwe autentyczne

    I właśnie dlatego są takie śliczne

    Niczego nie udają

    Jeszcze żadnych ról nie grają

    Nie oszukują i każde kłamstwo wyczują

    Dorastajmy i bądźmy jak dzieci

    A będziemy najszczęśliwsi na świecie

    I świat szczęśliwy będzie z nami

    Jeżeli dokonać tego zdołamy

    Molekułka

  7. BONJOUR

    Que l’année nouvelle soit comme une caresse
    Illuminée par les sourires de ceux que vous aimez
    Que leur gentillesse vous couvre de tendresse
    Année de joie et de plaisirs chaque jour partagés

    Bisous Bernard
