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...

If you've read and liked Different, please take a minute to vote for it in the Fantasy Category at http://booksandpals.blogspot.com/2014... using the Rafflecopter application/form. Just for voting you are entered to win prizes and free books. Check it out. And thank you for your support.

Different by Frank Mundo is .99 Cents This Week

From October 6, 2014 to October 10, 2014, my book Different will be on sale for only .99 cents at Amazon.com

Different is about a 12-year-old boy named Gregory Gourde who wakes up in his bed one morning with an impossible new feature: his head has become a watermelon. We follow Gregory down a rabbit hole of sorts to an elite prep school whose recruits are the most brutally bullied students on the planet in an audacious exploration of what it really means to be different.

Different was a nominee for the 2014 Readers' Choice Award for Fantasy Books at Big Al's Books and Pals.

"5 Stars: Frank Mundo does not just throw words at the page in hopes that they stick...
This story will leave you thinking about it long after you have finished... The Story is told through Gregory's eyes with an omniscient narrator who pops in occasionally to move the story along or fill in past events of Gregory's life or other characters that played an important role...This is masterfully handled by the author... The characters are beautifully written and darkly wonderful... The plot moves at a nice pace throughout the book... A fantastic journey of self-discovery." -- Big Al's Books & Pals.

Regular price is $2.99, so take advantage of this sale if you want to get the best deal.

Different by Frank Mundo is FREE today at Amazon

Yesterday was my 7th wedding anniversary with my beautiful wife, Nancy.

Today, I'm feeling blessed, so my book "Different" is ‪FREE‬ for everyone to download at Amazon.

Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Different-Frank...

I hope you download it and give it shot. It's definitely an usual book, and a little dark and ‪‎different‬ (not for the younger kids <13 years old), but it has a lot of heart, too.

Check it out. Check out the reviews. Maybe it's something to read over the holidays. The best part is, if you don't like it, it won't cost you a thing.

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.
