Vote for your Favorite Title

Support your favorite author by voting on AmazonClicks.com!

Each month the votes are counted and two Awards are made, the Readers' Choice and the Authors' Choice Awards.

The publicity authors get from these awards helps them to sell copies of their books and is therefore very much appreciated, especially by new or relatively unknown authors. Approaching 3,ooo votes have been cast since these awards began in the summer of 2008 and several titles have since benefited from the publicity gained.

However, the awards are about more than that, they are your way of showing appreciation to the author of a work you enjoyed or appreciated for its merit. They will have spent months or years planning and writing and possibly as long again seeking a publisher, so why not spend a few seconds to vote for them? Just email 'vote@amazonclicks.com' with the name of the book in the subject bar of your email. If you are a published author yourself and wish to vote for our Authors' Choice Award, please add the ISBN number of any of your published works next to the title you are voting - it's as easy as that to say 'Thank you'!

Our current leaders in February are 'Out of the Wreckage' and 'Stage Struck'.

New Entrant Flies to the Top!

It's been an exciting couple of days voting wise especially with our Readers' Choice Award for February. From nowhere a new entry 'Out of the Wreckage' has flown into first place and now leads by a single vote! It is very close between all the top books in both categories but this new title has done very well to steal the lead a short time after being nominated.

Early days but February looks like a very interesting competition!

January very close as we approach final week!

With some shuffling of positions, the January voting is getting very close indeed.

Ony a few votes seperate the top titles in both categories and only one can win in each!

Please note, there will be no updates during the week ahead as I'm away at a conference. I can't wait to see who has won the first awards of the year when I get back on Friday! The results will be announced next weekend.

Mid month update!

What are you doing on these cold January evenings ?

Hopefully reading your favorite titles ordered from AmazonClicks.com followed by voting to support them in the monthly awards.

Even being nominated for an award helps authors to promote their works and to actually win is a great PR opportunity! So go on, when you have enjoyed your read, vote to support the author.

In addition, all award winners are automatically entered for the annual Book Awards.

As for this month, no change overnight in the leading positions but it is all still up for grabs in January.

Changes at the Top!

'In Search of an Angel' moves back into the top spot after several weeks in the Reader's Choice Award and 'The Devil's Trinity' pushes into lead the Author's Choice for January!

As you might imagine, January is a good month to stay indoors with your feet up and a good book close at hand. Our readers and authors are clearly doing this but also getting online to support their favourite stories.

This might be a good time to browse the other nominated titles and order something to occupy you in the cold weeks ahead!

Knight's Fork inching ahead!

Knight's Fork is moving up the ranks rapidly in both categories!

Soft Target still holds onto the lead in the Reader's Choice Award after the votes cast overnight and today (despite a few duplicates). Mid-week, mid-month and it's still all up for grabs in December!

48 Hours News Embargo!

Nothing sinister but I will be away for a couple of days so the next update on the voting will be Thursday evening.

I'm pleased to report new nominations coming in for the Reader's Choice Award so let's hope the votes follow soon and they move up the ratings.

Currently 'Over by Christmas' retains the leading position just ahead of 'Soft Target' for the Reader's Award. 'The Devil's Trinity' leads 'Over by Christmas' in our Author's contest this month.

The positions have shuffled around on page one of the Awards so far this week so check your favorite title and don't forget to support it with your vote.

New Look Nominations Page !

Having re-vamped the News page, I set out to improve the Nominations page for Reader's and Author's Choice Awards.

You may find a few seconds delay as with the News page, this is a slight downside but I hope you will not find it a pain.

Thanks to Amazon's aStores I will be able to change the rank orders, add and remove titles much easier from now on. I hope you agree we also get a more consistent appearance.

This way of doing it ony shows the Top Nine titles on the first page for each category but you can now see further titles down the list by clicking other pages. This will give some exposure to newly nominated titles.

This should be available from the afternoon of Tuesday (20th) this week.

Keep those votes coming in !

Pete
