Believe it or not, Delora Dennis was born in a funeral home in Belen, New Mexico. Just like the family in the HBO series, Six Feet Under, her family lived in the funeral home established by her grandfather in 1936.

Delora launched her writing career in 1965, at the tender age of nine, with the production of her play (with a long-since forgotten title) by her elementary school's Home and School Association. Of course, the trajectory of said launch didn't exactly follow a straight path. Detours along the way included stints as a human resources manager, assistant funeral director,legislative analyst,speech writer, state fair exhibit manager, and independent video producer.

Delora returned to the path in 1993 and since then has been writing in

How to Keep Your Head When All Others Around You Are Losing Theirs

Let’s face it. We live in difficult times. Unspeakable violence, financial insecurity, climate change, deep political division, relationship challenges…it’s enough to make the sanest adult want to run for the safety and comfort of “Mama” and their favorite security blanket. But since this isn’t a reasonable option for anyone over the age of 12, there has to be a viable way to deal with the intense

“Dave, would you please tell your wife she can relax. She’s got the job. It isn’t necessary for her to keep pointing out our short-comings just so you can feel better about leaving us.”
Delora Dennis, Same Old Truths

“Kay wasn’t looking for true love. It was embarrassing to admit, but she wasn’t completely over her divorce. She just wanted an opportunity to take her social skills out for a spin every now and then. She needed to be sure Kay The Person, hadn’t been completely overtaken by Kay The Mom.”
Delora Dennis

“Dahling, they’ve always hated me, but this has to be the final nail in the coffee. They’re jealous because their mother gave me her diamond pendulum on my wedding day. Now they’re demanding it back. They hound me day and night. My God, it’s like they have channel vision.”

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
Anais Nin

“livid, adj.

Fuck You for cheating on me. Fuck you for reducing it to the word cheating. As if this were a card game, and you sneaked a look at my hand. Who came up with the term cheating, anyway? A cheater, I imagine. Someone who thought liar was too harsh. Someone who thought devastator was too emotional. The same person who thought, oops, he’d gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Fuck you. This isn’t about slipping yourself an extra twenty dollars of Monopoly money. These are our lives. You went and broke our lives. You are so much worse than a cheater. You killed something. And you killed it when its back was turned.”
David Levithan, The Lover's Dictionary

“Some people you meet and they're your friend for a day. Some you meet and you never really know at all. And then there are those who get caught inside your soul and stay there forever.”
Melodie Ramone, After Forever Ends
