Great Slices of Life
A new review for Gary, the Four-Eyed Fairy and Other Stories has been posted from a reader in Venezuela:
A new 4-star review for my book Gary, the Four-Eyed Fairy and Other Stories from a reader in Venezuela:
Great Slices of Life: "This is a set of great short stories. They are about the life and times of J.T., a security guard. If you think this is a boring sort of protagonist, then you must rethink it all over and wait to read these tales! Be warned: some are heart-warming, others sad... some poignant. One of them even managed to offend my personal set of beliefs (I simply refuse to share a particular viewpoint with the author), but even in spite of that these tales are outstanding pieces of work..."

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...

Different by Frank Mundo is Free This Weekend on Kindle
You read it right. My book Different is free this Saturday through Monday, March 25-27 on Kindle. Check it out.
If you choose to read it, please share your review on GR and Amazon. Love it or hate it, I appreciate your time and your opinion.
Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Different-Frank...
Different is an illustrated novella for adults. It's in the Urban Fantasy or Contemporary Fantasy genres. There are six reviews on GR, and four on Amazon: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Summary: If you like those "peculiar" children Tim Burton is about to make famous, you might like Different.
One morning 12-year-old Gregory Gourde wakes up in his bed with an impossible new feature: his head has become a watermelon. We follow Gregory down a rabbit hole of sorts to a new world and 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".
The illustrations in Different are woodcut-style black-and-white drawings (after the famous Alice in Wonderland art) by Keith Draws, who also illustrated my other book, The Brubury Tales (Illustrated Edition) and the cover of my short-story collection, Gary, the Four-Eyed Fairy (who, incidentally, makes an appearance in Different).
*Adult language and content. Not for children under 13 or 14.
I hope you enjoy Different.
