And the Winners for March are ........ !

'Dusk Before the Dawn' by Larry Ketchersid wins the Amazonclicks.com Readers' Choice Award for March with run away last minute voting!

The Authors' Choice Award goes to 'Time Couriers' by C Q Scafidi.

Congratulations to both authors and thank you to the hundreds of supporters who voted for our titles in March. 

Just a few hours to go!

In the closing hours 'Dusk before the Dawn' and 'Time Couriers' look set to win this months' Awards. Will there be an upset in the closing hours?

Check back here tomorrow to find out!

March voting nearly over!

Just two more days!

Countdown on March!

3, 2, 1 ... the days are counting down and an overnight re-shuffles threatens to upset the favorites in this month's awards.

First place in the Authors' Award is now a draw between two titles and the rest are biting at their heals.

The Readers' Choice Award is now separated by just 3 votes! So basically anything could happen with just a few days to go.

New day - same positions!

Overnight the votes fell almost equally on our leading titles leaving the positions unchanged for another day.

In this final week, every vote counts so if you have yet to vote for your favorite, you could make all the difference!

Just 4 days of voting left !

Final week of March

As the months draws to a close, 'Dusk Before the Dawn' by Larry Ketchersid holds on to the first place in our Readers' Choice Award and 'Time Couriers' by C Q Scafidi leads our Authors' Choice.

As ever the voting is close at the top especially in the Author's Choice Awards where only a few votes seperate most of the leading titles.

Both awards are very much up for grabs and by this time next week, two authors will be celebrating their success and preparing Press Releases to announce the winning of an AmazonClicks Award!

Final Week of March!

Now you can all see the rankings for March and with just one week to go, there are a number of titles vying and in close contention for the Awards this month.

The announcement of the winners will be made next weekend and I will give you a blow by blow account during the week on this news page. The nomination pages will also be updated tomorrow so you will know the latest positions at the beginning of the week.

What the ranks don't tell you of course is just how close it is at the top in both categories - there's still every chance your favorite title could win this month!

New Look to Site

The new look to AmazonClicks.com is almost completed and although not radically different it will be tidier, easier to navigate and, importantly, quicker for me to update!

I intend to update positions each weekend and the month end announcements will now be moved to the last weekend each month - to cut out the late nights when it falls mid-week! The 'News' Blog however will be updated daily so you can keep up with any news or position changes.

As you will see, we have severed the Associate relationship with Amazon and this means our annual Book Award prize will be changed. The new prize will be one whole year of prominent promotion on the AmazonClicks website - this receives thousands of visitors every month - in addition to International Press Releases announcing the winning title!

There is still a little finishing off to do over the coming days but thank you for your patience and please remember the votes continue as normal. This month is as close as ever!

The Lead Grows!

As we arive at the middle of March, the leading titles are widening the gap. It's good to see that our website work hasn't impacted adversely on the voting and the daily count is still going well. The authors in both categories will welcome this support a great deal so.

The disruption to the site will be over very soon. Keep those votes coming in!

Progress update!

We are still beavering away in the backroom of the AmazonClicks site and whilst it will take a few more days, there is no impact on the ability to accept votes for your favorite books.

Another new comer is soaring through the ranks of the Readers' Choice at the moment and our Authors' remain pretty quiet. 'Dusk before the Dawn' is clinging onto first place despite attempts to dislodge it. It's all very close indeed!

One of our voters has experienced a problem with repeating acknowledgement messages which we are looking into. If this also affects you, please let me know by emailing webmaster@amazonclicks.com , we think it is sorted out as our attempts to recreate the problem haven't yielded any issues, but if not please tell us.

Thanks

The Race for March gets Underway!

'Dusk Before the Dawn' is out in front for our March Readers' Choice Award at present although several books are catching rapidly. In particular a new entry, 'RadgePacket - Tales from the Inner Cities' is rising rapidly through the ranks so an interesting month is ahead of us.

Our Authors' Choice Award has seen more modest activity over the last few days and several titles are currently sharing the leading place! This looks like an opportunity for our Authors to help one of their chosen titles 'steal a March' on the others, if you'll forgive the pun!

Keep Those March Votes Coming!

Despite the workman all over our site with buckets and ladders everywhere, our Awards business carries on as usual! Please use this blog to check on the voting progress this month as it may be a couple of weeks before the site is ready. Basically, we are improving some of the 'back-end' processes to make it function more efficiently.

I will let our two February winners savour their victory a little longer before reporting on the votes this month but suffice it to say they are already coming in and new leaders are emerging!

February Voting Closes and the Winners are .....!

....'Out of the Wreckage: The Pop Stories' by Barbara Blanks for our Readers Choice Award, and 'Stage Struck' by Suzanne Stokes for our Authors' Choice Award!

Congratulations to Barbara and Suzanne!

Your Award certificates will be ready in a few days and your titles will be entered in our Hall of Fame.

The website is now undergoing a face lift so please bear with us whilst this happens. However, the voting for March can continue as normal so please keep those votes coming in, they won't be wasted even if the site doesn't appear to be reflecting the changing positions whilst we make our improvements.

Once again, well done to our February winners!
