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
Hi there! I’m da-AL, and since I learned to hold a pencil, I’ve been a writer. My journalism awards include an Emmy (click here for more about that and to watch the documentary) and various cable TV ones. An earlier video was nominated for an Emmy.
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.” 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. (Click here to see some of my art.) As a visual artist, some of my art is featured in “New Directions in Altered Books,” by Gabe Cyr and California State Long Beach’s literary journal, Rip Rap.)
Childhood was nomadic, ranging from cities in Spain, to ones across the United States. Throughout, I cherished corresponding with my grandmothers in Buenos Aires and Barcelona, as well as with friends I made along the way.
My Iranian-American husband and I share a passion for world dance, cuisine, music, travel, animals, and literature. My dear lab-mix doggie, with either a toy in her mouth or her chin on my knee, rescues me from brooding over commas for too long.

Bonjour
Je vous écris ce petit texte pour vous dire au revoir
Par un message poétique
A toutes les personnes qui m’ont suivi jusqu’à maintenant
Que ce soit par les liens du net, par messages, sms, un face à face, une rencontre
A tous ceux qui ont suivi mon blog
En me laissant une marque de leur passage
Je tiens à vous dire
Qu’avec vous j’ai vécu une belle histoire d’amitié
Je vous en suis plus que reconnaissant
Mais j’ai décidé de m’arrêter là
Comme une poésie qui s’éteint
Merci pour ces moments magiques, particuliers
Une page se ferme
Comme une histoire d’amour
Ainsi vas la vie
Gardez l’espoir, bonne continuation à vous tous
Par ces derniers mots
Joyeuses fêtes de fin d’année

Bonjour DAL
J’ai une grosse pensée pour ceux qui subissent les inondations et qui ont tout perdu
COURAGE à vous dans cette période difficile à surmonter, des jours meilleurs viendront embellir votre maison
Je vous envoie mes pensées amicales
Que cette journée soit belle et douce
Que le soleil brille dans votre demeure
Que les oiseaux chantent pour vous
Je vous souhaite une merveilleuse journée
Rempli de joie et d’amour
Que le vent vous apporte de bonnes nouvelles
Votre Ami Bernard
