2.4 was in the first poll. Or did I dream that?

I can see the results of the poll!Is this intentional?
2.4 was in the first poll; it's my book. Hopefully Simon is going to remove it from this one. :~/Unless someone copied my blurb; bad move, as it came a lowly sixth :~)
I can see the results too, and I have a vote in this one. Can I carry it over ;~)
Sorry about that. There was only one vote for 2.4Now there is a brand new 2.4 and the poll is hidden.
I have an excuse....When I put the books up I didn't notice that a couple of authors had sent me a second PM later on. There were a couple of duplicates....
Tsk.Nothing like making our poor Simon's life harder.
Go have a beer, sweetheart. You've earned one.
Ok..... a couple of authors asked if they could enter after the deadline. This is a test to see if anyone is out there.I have two spaces for blurb #4. First come first served.
PM your entry. Put Blurb #4 in the subject
Strict 50 words.
You must not have your name or the title in the blurb.
Make sure you tell me your name and the title.
Well difficult one here as I like the blurbs and would be tempted by 2.1, 2.5 and 2.6. Depending on how much they cost in that order - assuming 2.1 to be the cheapest! There are 2 that seem aimed at youngsters so they were discounted and the others mostly look interesting except for the bacon sandwich as I am a veggie!
Ha!I bet the bacon sandwich is the MOST interesting!
Mmmmmmmmmbaconmmmmmmmmmmmm
I voted but found it a harder choice. I pretty much closed my eyes and stabbed at the screen
Interesting. it was suggested on blurb #1 that your position in the list affected the vote. The early results here suggest that isn't true. Looks like we have discerning voters :)
One has voted, your honour. Yet another nicely varied selection of page turners. Am I correct in thinking that the winner of blurb 1 will be next month's BOTM?
Ooh... 2.3 or 2.7? Ip Dip Thrupenny bit, you are not it.
Did you send out an email about this starting with a link? I got an email for the first one, but didn't realize this was up and going!!! Off to read the blurbs and vote!

Oh, okay. That's good then. I would have hated to miss the vote, so I came 'round and checked.
That's a lot more than vote in the polls for the writing competitions...
Ah, but these are by real authors. It's often you and me and Simon on the other! ;)
Well you can't get more Indie than that! ;)
I like the cut of your jib! (Just trying to get a little Pirate-speak in, in honour of the day!)
2.9 has definite possibilities...MMMMM...Bacon!
It's all over. Results here. Titles will be revealed later.

'Twas an intriguing premise for a book, and that's for sure!
Ah, I can pick a winner, even if I can't manage to win myself :~)
