Juan Funes
Juan Funes, third son of four kids, was born in the city of San Pedro Sula, Honduras on December 30th 1987. He study at Happy Days & Freedom. He has been writing stories in his mind since he was seven years old. When he was in sixth grade, he began to put all his thoughts on paper. Whenever he had a test, he would usually finish it fast and then write a short story on the back of it. On December 2008, he won “El Zorzal” (Prize given at the Short Film Festival of San Pedro Sula, “El Miedo Mas Corto”), with the movie “Alone” which he wrote, produced, and directed. He haven’t win any important award for his stories yet, except for the ones he got at school; Best story on the Reading Fair 2000, 1st place on poetry on the 2005. “Close your eyes… they speak to me” is his first book. He wrote it when he was nineteen years old, after he decided to forget about the girl he loved so much. He is now writing some other books with different genres: Love, tragedy, horror, adventure, and poetry. He is also working on many photography and kids books that he want to publish by the end of 2009. Some of the kids books that he is about to release are: Hairless granny, Meet my earthworm, The frog Launcher, My classmate is an alien, and many other crazy stories. He gets his idea for books from all sort of things; Dreams, watching kids being kids, watching objects just laying down, animals, clouds, pictures, drawings. Sometimes he gets bored and just start imagining some sort of adventure. He is always thinking about ideas for his story; while walking, while bathing, even while driving. He likes to watch his pets playing on the backyard; Decker and Señor Coco, his two dogs, and his cat Pepe, who is a great friend of his two dogs. In his spare time, he plays the guitar and piano, while writing songs. He seriously loves to sing. He goes out on the weekends to do photography with his Photo Club buddies. He also wants to have his own clothing line, but he is going easy on that because there is much to learn about fashion. For now, he is just focusing on creating the designs for his clothing line.
