If you're reading this, you're one of the first people to join what I'm building, so thank you.

Over the last few months I've been experimenting with chapter ratings, sharing books I love, building my website, and working on my own writing projects. What started as a simple idea has grown into something much bigger than I expected.

This newsletter is where I'll share:

• New chapter ratings before they're posted publicly

• Book recommendations and discoveries

• Updates on my novels and screenplays

• Milestones, experiments, and lessons from building Chillymz

Right now I'm working on a supernatural dark fantasy thriller called When Shadows Stir, while continuing to expand the chapter ratings library on the website.

One thing I've learned recently is that the most passionate readers don't just read books—they revisit them, debate them, and remember specific chapters years later. That's part of what inspired the ratings project in the first place.

If there's a series you'd like to see rated next, just reply and let me know.

Thanks for being here at the beginning.
