Book Description:
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 girl friend with serious
denial issues. With her help and the help of a wise cracking 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.
Is it really worth it?
About
the Author:
A.B. Funkhauser is a funeral
director, fiction writer 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.
“Were it not for the calling, I
would have just as likely remained an office assistant shuffling files around,
and would have been happy doing so.”
Life had another plan. After a
long day at the funeral home in the waning months of winter 2010, she looked
down the long hall joining the director’s office to the back door leading three
steps up and out into the parking lot. At that moment a thought occurred: What
if a slightly life-challenged mortician tripped over her man shoes and landed
squarely on her posterior, only to learn that someone she once knew and cared
about had died, and that she was next on the staff roster to care for his
remains?
Like funeral directing, the
writing called, and four years and several drafts later, Heuer Lost and Found
was born.
What’s a Heuer? Beyond a word
rhyming with “lawyer,” Heuer the lawyer is a man conflicted. Complex, layered,
and very dead, he counts on the ministrations of the funeral director to set
him free. A labor of love and a quintessential muse, Heuer has gone on to
inspire four other full length works and over a dozen short stories.
“To my husband John and my
children Adam and Melina, I owe thanks for the encouragement, the support, and
the belief that what I was doing was as important as anything I’ve tackled
before at work or in art.”
Funkhauser is currently working
on a new manuscript begun in November during NaNoWriMo 2014.
