Book excerpt: Its rainy. The oncoming headlights are blinding me. I have to stay awake. Its 2:00 A.M. and less than two feet behind me is the body of a woman scheduled for burial in about six hours... A 24 year-old Hispanic male has taken a bullet to the head. A drug deal gone bad. The Mortician in charge has done a remarkable job hiding the head wound. The wound is invisible... This was no White House on Pennsylvania Avenue. No Beverly Hills. No Beverly Thrills. It was a step above a flop house and maybe only a half-step... Every day in the City of Angels and Actors, hundreds of people are buried. These are their stories... L.A. Funeral Director and comedy writer Denny Dormody, a working actor and an active member of the Screen Actors Guild, moonlights to pay the rent... "Denny Dormody, I hope you become a better writer." -- Kirk Douglas "Good to meet you. Good luck and good writing..." -- Michael Connelly, Author, The Black Box Comedy scribes Denny Dormody & Michael Conley have inked with Loeb & Loeb for Literary representation -- The Hollywood Reporter
