2014 Readers' Choice Award nominee at BigAl's Books and Pals
I'm pleased to announce that my novella, Different, is up for the 2014 Readers' Choice Award for Fantasy books at BigAl's Books and Pals.
Published on December 9th, 2013, Different tells the story of 12-year-old Gregory Gourde, a bright yet awkward kid who experiences certain physical changes one morning that even puberty can't explain: his head has become a watermelon.
What follows is an audacious exploration of what it really means to be different in this dark yet humorous nod to Kafka's "Metamorphosis" and Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland". Different also includes a dozen original woodcut-inspired black-and-white illustrations by Keith Draws.
Different was reviewed by BigAl's Books and Pals on December 31, 2013, which you can read here --> http://booksandpals.blogspot.com/2013...

Frank Mundo's New Poetry Book Named Eric Hoffer Award Finalist for Poetry
I'm happy to report that my new poetry chapbook, Eleven Sundry Flowers, illustrated by Keith Draws, is the 2022 Reader Views Reviewer’s Choice Awards Silver Award Winner and a 2022 Eric Hoffer Book Award Finalist for Poetry.
I wrote these love poems (sonnets) 19 years ago for my wife when we were just dating. Back then, the poems were selected by UCLA for its WORDs poetry exhibit and helped me win the school's Poet Laureate Award Nomination.
The reviews have been very positive from Goodreads readers and from the critics. Here's a few excerpts from recent reviews:
"Eleven Sundry Flowers by Frank Mundo is a profound piece of work that expresses intensely personal thoughts of love and yet is universal. It's such a fresh and positive presentation of love that it leaves me blown away! I highly recommend this extraordinary book." --Bruce Arrington for Readers' Favorite
"Eleven Sundry Flowers by Frank Mundo is a collection of eleven beautiful love poems to his longtime best friend, and now wife, Nancy. The poems are packed with eloquent and expressive metaphors, descriptive imagery, and powerful verses. Poetry lovers, especially those who like nature and love poems, will enjoy this work." -- Theresa Kadair for San Francisco Book Review
"From poems about true love...to works that make you feel enlightened and encouraged by life in general, [Frank Mundo] hit upon a spectrum of words and phrases that you'll find sticking in your memory and making you feel strength, warmth, and yes, beauty. This striking combination, and the drawings adding to the experience ten-fold, I have to say that all readers out there who wish to follow this author's "courtship" of his wife and delve into all this beauty, should get this one for their shelves as soon as possible!" - Amy Lignor for Reader Views
With so much hate and sadness in the world today, try some love poems today. If you like art, Eleven Sundry Flowers (Antrim House Books 2021) is beautifully illustrated by Keith Draws on every single page.
