Blurb:
Aging managing director Charlie Forsythe
begins his work day with a phone call to Jocasta Binns, the unacknowledged
illegitimate daughter of Weibigand Funeral Home founder Karl Heinz Sr. Alma
Wurtz, a scooter bound sextenarian, community activist, and neighborhood pain
in the ass is emptying her urine into the flower beds, killing the petunias.
Jocasta cuts him off, reminding him that a staff meeting has been called.
Charlie, silenced, is taken aback: he has had no prior input into the meeting
and that, on its own, makes it sinister.
The second novel in the UNAPOLOGETIC LIVES
series, SCOOTER NATION takes place two years after HEUER LOST AND FOUND. This
time, funeral directors Scooter Creighton and Carla Moretto Salinger Blue take
centre stage as they battle conflicting values, draconian city by-laws, a
mendacious neighborhood gang bent on havoc, and a self absorbed fitness guru
whose presence shines an unwanted light on their quiet Michigan neighborhood.
Author Information:
Toronto born author A.B. Funkhauser is a funeral director,
classic car nut and wildlife enthusiast living in Ontario, Canada. Like most
funeral directors, she is governed by a strong sense of altruism fueled by the
belief that life chooses us and we not it. Her debut novel HEUER LOST AND
FOUND, released in April 2015, examines the day to day workings of a funeral
home and the people who staff it. Winner of the PREDITORS & EDITORS
Reader’s Poll for Best Horror 2015, HEUER LOST AND FOUND is the first installment
in Funkhauser’s UNAPOLOGETIC LIVES series. Her sophomore effort, SCOOTER
NATION, is set for release March 13, 2016 through Solstice Publishing. A
devotee of the gonzo style pioneered by the late Hunter S. Thompson, Funkhauser
attempts to shine a light on difficult subjects by aid of humorous
storytelling. “In gonzo, characters operate without filters which means they
say and do the kinds of things we cannot in an ordered society. Results are
often comic but, hopefully, instructive.”
Funkhauser is currently working on SHELL GAME, a contemporary
“whodunnit” begun during NaNoWriMo 2015.
