Sharing Great News Regarding a New Chicagoland
PUBLISHED Author ...
Way back in February of 2010, I wrote an article entitled, "Once Upon a Time in AR-land ... What Writing Style Are You?". (AR meaning the ActiveRain Real Estate website ... www.activerain.com)
Within that article, I described the two writing styles of my sons, Tom and John. I also gave a bit of background on each of our boys and their personal writing styles, their style of writing being as widely different as their personalities. And although both sons are very talented (shameless, but proud poppa admittedly) ... our elder son, Tom, has always been the one that harbored dreams of writing professionally.
I wanted to share with my AR friends that Tom's dream has come to fruition!
To say that Thomas Mundt had an unbelievably wonderful and successful month of November in 2011 would be an understatement. First, (and hard to top), Tom and his wife Jenny, produced their firstborn son, Henry, at Thanksgiving time.
Then came the news around the same time that Tom's first book, "You Have Until Noon to Unlock the Secrets of the Universe", a collection of his short stories, was being published and printed for the 2011 holiday season by Lady Lazarus Press.
Can it get any better?
Yes! We're getting requests from friends and family from Chicagoland and abroad for Tom to make himself available for an autograph session. Unbelievably amazing ... and we're lovin' every minute of watching his success. And oh yes ... we're unbelievably proud of him.
Who would have thought all those years ago that Tom's first-grade teacher at Mokena (IL) Elementary School's prediction regarding his writing talents would really come true??
I mean, besides his mother and father, of course ...

Gene -- Congratulations to your son for this milestone. Hopefully this will sell well, and he will continue writing and getting his books published. BTW -- if dad's can't brag about their kids, what else would we have to do?
True!! True!! And hopefully we can be forgiven for all the bragging. Thank you for the kind words. I greatly appreciate it.
Have a safe and Happy New Year!
Gene
Gene-You must be one proud papa. Congrats to you and most especially to your son. Happy New Year
Thank you very much, Sharon. And both his mom and I are very proud and very happy that he's getting to enjoy some success. I wish you and yours a very Happy New Year. One that is extremely prosperous too ...
Gene
Congratulations Gene! I would be beaming with excitement if that were my child!
Congratulations, Gene, that is indeed wonderful news. Happy New Year to you and ours.
You didn't see the glow from the Chicagoland area, Renee?? That's Tom's mom and I "beaming" and glowing up a storm! Thanks for the kind comment ...
Jane: Thank you. We agree. My best wishes for a wonderful New Year and fantastic 2012!
Gene
Gene, this is a HUGE accomplishment, you must be extremely proud. Keep us update on how it goes with the success of the book and his appearances, etc.
You don't have to ask twice, Dave!! Thank you ... we are quite proud, quite thrilled for Tom. We've been very lucky parents with both of our boys. This is just icing on the cake ...
Hope business is good for you at the New Year. I'm hoping that 2012 is more upbeat for us all. It's about time ...
Thanks for writing,
Gene
