2021 ConCarolinas Certificate
The cover used for all Servants of the Moon and Sun short stories. It has a border of silver stars between dual strands of green vines. There is a silver triangle as the focal point of the cover with a silver moon, blue waves, and an orange sun inside the 3 points of the triangle, with the moon and sun at the base and the waves at the tip. The title, A Servants of the Moon and Sun Story, is written in our green vine font to match the series novels, and the author's name is written in white in a plain font at the bottom. The sparkling star (which is found on every novel cover in the series) is off the V in "Servants" in the title. The background is the same purple land- and starscape with climbing vines that was used for Book One, Talia: Heir to the Fairy Realm.

TIP: To receive either an ePub or a PDF of Joel's first winning story, "After Four Days of Rain"(which tells the story of the end of Talia's relationship with the purple-haired flyer her mother disapproved of), please join our email list.  You will need to reply to the automated message you receive in response to confirm that you wish to join the list (from which you can expect to receive no more than 8 messages a month, and usually just 2, on the 2nd and 16th of each month).

For his win in 2022, Joel got a free ticket to the next year's Con, along with a Twitter shoutout (see below)! The winning story is not yet available to those who missed the contest voting period, but keep checking back here to see if that changes!
