Teresa Funke writes fiction for adults and children based on true stories from World War II. Teresa Funke & Company provides products and resources for readers, writers, teachers and students.

Come see the popular one-woman show, Dancing in Combat Boots, on October 3 at the Senior Center in Fort Collins. Show time is 2:30 - 4:30 and will include a question and answer session and a meet-the-author reception where doughnuts and coffee will be served in honor of the Doughnut Dolly character in the show.

The No-No Boys is my most requested book by teachers. Besides telling an engaging story, it also offers multiple teachable lessons for modern students and opens up great discussion on topics such as civil liberties and actions in times of war.

Join Us Saturday August 7th. That Book Inside You is Teresa's most popular workshop. This all-day course takes writers from idea through publication and beyond. The workshop includes an in-depth workbook designed to walk attendees through each step of their writing journey, and has been said to be "worth the price of admission in itself."

"Teresa's workshops filled ALL of the gaps in my knowledge," said one past attendee. Workshops appeal to writers of both fiction and nonfiction and to those writing for children and for adults. For descriptions of all workshops, visit the workshops page.
