Q&A with A.B. Funkhauser
One of the most exciting things in the Publishing industry is meeting interesting people who are talented authors and write intriguing stories.
After reading Unapologetic Lives Series by A.B. Funkhauser, I had a few questions about her story and the characters.
About Unapologetic Lives Series
Heuer Lost and Found (Book 1)
Unrepentant cooze hound lawyer Jürgen Heuer dies suddenly and unexpectedly in his litter-strewn home. Undiscovered, he rages against God, Nazis, deep fryers and analogous women who disappoint him.
At last found, he is delivered to Weibigand Brothers Funeral Home, a ramshackle establishment peopled with above average eccentrics, including boozy Enid, a former girlfriend with serious denial issues. With her help and the help of a wisecracking spirit guide, Heuer will try to move on to the next plane. But before he can do this, he must endure an inept embalming, feral whispers, and Enid’s flawed recollections of their murky past.
Scooter Nation (Book 2)
Aging managing director Charlie Forsythe begins his work day with a phone call to Jocasta Binns, the unacknowledged illegitimate daughter of Weibigand Brothers 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 shuts him down. A staff meeting has been called and things are about to change.
Shell Game (Book 3)
Carlos the Wonder Cat lives free, traveling from house to house in a quiet suburban neighborhood. Known by everyone, his idyllic existence is threatened when a snarky letter from animal control threatens to punish kitty owners who fail to keep their pets indoors. The $5,000 fine / loss of kitty to THE MAN is draconian and mean, but before Team Carlos can take steps, he is kidnapped by a feline fetishist sex cult obsessed with the films of eccentric Pilsen Güdderammerüng. Stakes are high. Even if Carlos escapes their clutches, can he ever go home?
Q&A
1) Morality VS Darkness, which one is more powerful?
1) That is a trick question. Both are evenly balanced in terms of the harm and the help each can do. Morality, backed by the rule of law grown and curated by the people it governs, enshrines and protects, whereas, Darkness begets wisdom if knowledge is gained and the receiver of said knowledge in their wisdom moves forward into the light.
I can turn all this on its head if you like.
Morality, settled in the hands of a few, will corrupt and pollute, whereas, Darkness begets ignorance when knowledge is lost, and then those, in their loss, move backward into unspeakable places.
2) Life chooses us, what’s your opinion?
2) “Freedom” is a trap. We make choices based on what we know. The value of what we know is determined by the quality of the sources that feed us —the www, 24-hour news, the guy across the street. These sources, severally, can be called “society”. In totality, it is “life”. Are we really in there?
3) Should we fear death?
3) Never. It’s a waste of precious life time. Death will come, and if we do things right, we won’t mind.
4) What is the lesson we should all learn in this life?
4) My lesson is different from yours and the person next to you and so on. The closer I get to the answer, the less I know. I try to be kind. I try not to be a jerk. I keep trying.
5) What does family mean to you?
5) I love them and I owe it to them to do better. The ones that came before me set the course. My job is to adjust that course for the ones that come after me.
6) Tell me a few things about you.
6) -I am drawn to curious people and things.
-I love and fear science fiction because it usually comes true.
-I get my fiction from non-fiction. I couldn’t make this stuff up.
-I am a dedicated optimist, although I often hide it because sunniness annoys serious people.
-I do not support cancel culture, buffoonery or navel-gazing
-I love amusement parks and the people amused by them.
