With green Aliens, interplanetary travel and rampant sex, God is a Mortician is a parable about society, politics, morality and more, as up to date as the latest headlines, and more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

In fact, aliens from all over the galaxy can use earth as a pit-stop to refuel their ships by drawing off this crazy energy from the minds of humans. Meet the characters: God (Bubba), Jesus, our hero Miguel and his alien-turned-nympho lover, Sho-shota. The subject matter and unabashed mockery aren't for the faint of…mehr

With green Aliens, interplanetary travel and rampant sex, God is a Mortician is a parable about society, politics, morality and more, as up to date as the latest headlines, and more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Aliens have found a way to suck up mental energy from earth's minions. In fact, aliens from all over the galaxy can use earth as a pit-stop to refuel their ships by drawing off this crazy energy from the minds of humans. Meet the characters: God (Bubba), Jesus, our hero Miguel and his alien-turned-nympho lover, Sho-shota. The subject matter and unabashed mockery aren't for the faint of heart. Some readers may be reminded of Kurt Vonnegut and others of Hunter Thompson, but one thing is certain:¿¿¿Finn Briscoe is a fearless writer, unafraid to go where his imagination takes him.¿¿¿
Autorenporträt
Finn here. I write short stories and novels. Here's what I usually say in a bio: A tech entrepreneur with a passion for Latin American fiction, who didn't make it big but did make it bust, I grew up on a farm but never sang "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" while skipping through fields of waving grain. A budding entrepreneur, I risked life and limb to become an insignificant drug smuggler at the age of eighteen to help finance an education in Latin American literature, but had to get serious when my wife gave me three wonderful gifts (our children). Scared of starving kids, I began studying engineering and eventually started my own telecom company. It died, but I didn't.That's pretty stuffy, so let me make it quick: Shit happens! My first novel is God Is A Mortician, which I call punk sci-fi, Then there's are two memoir series called Fun Loving Finn and Finn on the Farm. Both are creative nonfiction (fancy name for memoir with a twist). If you care, my academic background includes a B.A. and an M.A. in Latin American Studies from Amherst College and UT-Austin, respectively, and an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Kansas, leading me to become a multilingual techie in my professional life before embarking on my career as an author.My short stories have been published in J Journal, Calliope Literary Journal, Jokes Review, cc&d, and nagarimagazine.com, the latter in Spanish. My irreverent outlook and profane wit sometimes cause members of my own family to act like they don't know me, but that probably happens to you, too, when you tell a bad joke or cut a fart in a crowded restaurant.
