Wes Funk's first novel Dead Rock Stars was short-listed in the Saskatchewan Book Awards. Currently in its third printing, the book has also now been incorporated into both high school and university curricula.
A love of the prairie lifestyle, a strong belief in diversity, and a passion for music are all strong themes in Wes's books. Wes is also the host of the Saskatchewan weekly tv program, Lit Happens. Wes lives with his partner and pets in their riverside Saskatoon home.
