Book Overview

Behold, 42 Stories Anthology Presents: Book of 42², or Project 42², filled with time, devotion, and passion. 1,764 micro stories of exactly 42 words, circulated through 42 genres.

Some readers might wonder, “Why 1,764 stories?” 42 stories times 42 genres equals 1,764. Hence, the book’s logo and title having 42². In or... der to have such an omnium-gatherum of works in one book, the team searched for authors around the world, from East to West. Finding stories for the book proved a challenge. Therefore, anthology staff accepted up to four works, using pseudonyms, from the same author, which were chosen by one critique partner, one story editor, and one reviewer from a staff of 42. The book had to have 1,764 author names in conjunction to the stories. There are still over 1,200 unique writers responsible for writing this anthology. A full list of authors is available within the anthology website, listed in the introduction.

In keeping with the theme, titles of stories are approximately 42 characters and biographies are roughly 42 words. The judges of the 42 Story of Excellence Awards (SOE) were the authors of the Craft of Writing Chapter, and the award for that chapter was selected by judges.

Along with the stories, we found 42 unique works of chapter art from talented artists and photographers. Notably, the Sports chapter has an original high-resolution photo of JACKIE ROBINSON, by PATRICK A. BURNS/The New York Times/Redux, which we purchased the rights to in order to be included in the anthology.

Moreover, the book cover, front and back, has 42 photos on each side, by the talented photographer, KATYA BROWN.

Enjoy the fun, 42 words at a time.

BIOGRAPHY
Chief editor, compiler, and producer of 42 Stories Anthology Presents: Book of 42²—a groundbreaking collection of 1,764 42-word stories spanning 42 genres by 1000s of authors from around the globe. While my primary goal is to spotlight the incredible writers featured in the anthology, my own work has garnered recogni... tion. One highlighted award was for my story Tsunami, which earned the Story of Excellence for the Season. Kindness & Decency was nominated for the Pushcart Prize. Additionally, my story Far from the Crowd received the Editor’s Choice Award.

You can find Tsunami at BellaOnline, while Kindness & Decency is featured in Crack the Spine XIV, and Far from the Crowd is included in I Am Here: The Untold Stories of Everyday People: Inspirational Short Stories to Warm the Soul.

When I’m not immersed in fiction, nonfiction, or promoting the anthology, I lecture in Japan, work on my dissertation in Applied Linguistics, or spend cherished moments with my wonderful fiancée and amazing friends.
