We did it.
42 Stories Anthology Presents: Book of 42² just won its first award, taking the top spot in the January cover contest with AllAuthor (link).
Having the anthology enter such a contest and eventually winning 1st place was an epic way to celebrate my 42nd b-day on January 19, right?
Credit is definitely due three-fold:
First: to Katya Brown, who designed the cover using her years of extensive photography—many shots taken during her travels in China.
Second: To the authors who voted for the cover. Your initial support made this win even bigger because it shows that the authors of the anthology chose a winning cover from the start.
Third: To everyone who supported the anthology during the contest. My fiancée deserves a special mention—staying up late, asking friends and family to vote so we could secure this win.
This victory is a reminder that the anthology is gaining the recognition it deserves—your work included.
To everyone who voted, shared, and collaborated to get the word out—thank you. You made this first win possible.
And this?
It’s just the start.
