January Newsletter 2020

Happy New Year
I hope it will be a happy, healthy and peaceful year.

What a busy and exciting year Chill has had with  so many amazing books submitted. This year alone, I have purchased in excess of 260 Amazon vouchers for Chill readers who are scattered all over the world. A page turning amount!

Talking of stats our web site has had over 305,000 hits and averages around 5,000 hits per month.

This last weekend six Year End Awards were made for Book of the Year, Book of the Year Runner Up, Cover of the Year and Cover of the Year Runner up. You can see all Awards for December and Year End below.

Our wonderful sponsor and cover judge, Cathy Helms  also designs stunning book covers, sadly books submitted whose cover has been designed by Cathy, can not be entered into Book Cover of the Month, but it is also important these beautiful covers are highlighted too.

What one reader said about reading for Chill...

"I really enjoyed this book. It epitomises why I wanted to become a reader for Chill - introduces me to books and writers I wouldn't otherwise come across. Thank you."

This month on my Blog ....

During January I am beginning a new feature on my Blog, Town Travel, where Chill Award winning authors reveal a town that has left an impression on them. It could be good or not! So pack your overnight case and let's go travelling. 

Town Travel will set of from 8th January, subject to no delays!

Once again, a very special thank you to all Chill's readers who read and evaluate the mountain of books submitted.

I thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart for being part of this amazing Award Programme helping to shine a light on great Independent Author Published Books

As always, thank you for taking the time to read Chill's Newsletter. Wishing you a wonderful month, New Year and new decade. I hope the sun is shining on your face and in your heart.
Until next time sending sunny smiles.

Hugs
