Deborah Dunlevy was born in Indiana and grew up everywhere else. Even moving every year or two couldn't satisfy her desire for adventure, so she learned how to read and started taking trips into other people's lives.

Laughing At The Dark

It’s almost here!

Laughing At The Dark: A Memoir of Motherhood And Mayhem will launch on April 15, and I can not wait for you to read it.

So many times over the course of this long and awful year, I didn’t think this book would ever see the light of day, but every time I thought about deep-sixing the whole thing, someone would remind me of why I wrote it in the first place. I wrote it because

Deborah’s Quotes

“I was there,” I exclaimed. “I could see myself, and the fire, the cool from the window, the table was piled with books, and I was writing something. And it was life, my life, and…and there were footsteps on the stairs.” “Whose?” “I don’t know. But he sounded like the other half of home.”
― Beth Brower, The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion: Vol. 5

“And I think that was the moment I began to suspect that the luck Hawkes spoke of might really only be an awareness, an awareness of grace.”
― Beth Brower, The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion: Vol. 5

“Does writing poetry make you brave? It is a good question to ask. I think making anything is a brave thing to do. Not like fighting brave, obviously. But a kind that looks at a horrible situation and doesn’t crumble. Making anything assumes there’s a world worth making it for.”
― Daniel Nayeri, Everything Sad Is Untrue

“I make a go of it, when I can. It’s not my disposition to…what I mean to say is, I learned a long time ago that my happiness has to be separate from the things beyond my control.”
