Time doesn't heal all wounds...sometimes it takes something more. Quirky record store owner Jackson Hill doesn't know it, but his routine life in Saskatoon is about to take a bumpy ride. When his father dies unexpectedly, Jackson heads down the highway to his hometown in southern Saskatchewan. He knows the funeral will be rough, but he doesn't expect to meet a handsome stranger along the way or to face-off with his brother about dark issues of the past. A humorous tale of one man's fascination with rock 'n' roll, Dead Rock Starsis a stirring account of sibling rivalry, acts of forgiveness, and growing up gay on the Canadian Prairies.

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.
