LAURIE KILMARTIN: A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A MOM, WRITER, AND ORPHAN AUTHOR

Written by DENNIS MALER Posted May 30, 2018 Filed Under: A+E, Comedy

"The book came out in February and it’s called Dead People Suck. It’s about my dad. It’s a comedic memoir about my dad dying of cancer. It covers hospice care, things you want an old person to do before they die, how you want to prepare yourself for your parental death, and ultimately your status as a middle age orphan."

SCOTT THOMPSON: KID IN THE HALL, OUT TO THE WORLD

Written by DENNIS MALER Posted March 29, 2018 Filed Under: A+E, Comedy

"[The school shooting] was 40 years ago for me, and I can tell you that when things like that happen to you they never really leave you. You can patch it over, but it’s like patching up an old sofa: Occasionally the stuffing will continue to come out. That’s how I feel now, like the stuffing is coming out."
