M. Funk has always had a fondness for creative expansion, whether it be in the form of multiple college degrees and small businesses or a heap of artistic pursuits. What's a girl to do with an infinite supply of curiosity and an insatiable passion for learning, she wondered? Ah-ha! She could be a writer. She could use her observations and experience to craft stories . . . truth-inspired fictions . . . intertwined tales of interwoven lives rife with morals and musings. And with these stories, she could (she hopes!) reach out into the ether and make contact with like-minded souls.

When she's not busy pondering the meaning of her daily observations, M. Funk lives in Minneapolis, MN and pays regular visits to the captivating raptors that live at

I ask myself: why has the creative flow shut off? Is there a "kink in the hose" somewhere? This leads to an examination of the bigger picture and, oftentimes, the discovery that some anti-creative element or emotion has taken hold. Fear, frustration, doubt, burnout. Maybe the direction of my story is not what's it's supposed to be. Maybe some other part of life has taken necessary, if temporary, priority. And that's okay! Because honesty is key. Once I acknowledge the true root of writer's block, it's possible to alleviate it; then the creative flow resumes naturally.(less)

From tree trimmer to software developer, artist to athlete, there are too many options to explore and too little time to try all of them. So, writing fiction is my compromise. The writing life is many lives in one. It gives me license to investigate the experiences of others and *become* other people for a bit while still maintaining my own identity. (less)

“As a noun, the emotion of love ebbs and flows naturally. The sea changes of our feeling states are as sovereign as the tides. As a verb, love must be mindfully (vigilantly) cultivated. It takes effort to develop the will to love—to act with kindness, be respectful, forgive, and commit, even when it feels impossible.”
M. Funk, The Book of True Believer

“Intimacy, now there’s a word with a wealth of underutilized dimensions . . . its greater worth may be found in this riddle: name the means by which one embraces tightest without touching and plunges deepest without spilling a drop of blood.”
M. Funk, The Book of True Believer

“Sometimes I’m tempted to deny things I haven’t seen with my own eyes. But I’m starting to realize that some people are endowed with the gift of exceptional sight—whether it be foresight, insight, vision, or experience. Some (like me) are privileged to behold the world’s wonder and beauty, while others are obliged to witness more than their fair share of ugliness.”
