A pleasure, none-the-less

Hey, may favorite Italian! --While we both know I'm not really "into" contests, popularity or otherwise, I don't begrudge for a moment the appearance of my book RIDE THE MAN DOWN in a contest with which you're personally associated. Your name alone adds a credibility to proceedings that I'm more than prepared to live with. So, I will provide a hearty thank-you to whomever out there first added my book to the list, and to those who voted (and will vote) for it. --Ciao, baby!

Well, thank you William. And those words by you are even more flattering, since I highly think of you. Elisa

This is seriously an honor. Wow, just... wow. Thank you to everyone who voted for me, and who helped me be part of this. It really is an honor to be nominated. :)

[elisa-rolle.livejournal.com]

I think yours is one of the most original vampire novels of last year. Break a leg for next phase. Elisa

Yay for everybody! (and me! lol)

Seriously, this has been a blast so far, so much fun! Thank you to everyone who voted for Angels of the Deep and thank you to the jury for recommending it. I've found so many new leads on reading material here that I don't know where to start.

Thank you so much for doing all this, Elisa! And thanks to the hard-working judges too! :)

You are welcome Kirby. Now the work is all for the Jury and I, like you, can finally read some books I discovered ;-)

Break a leg for Phase 3! Elisa

[jordan-c-price.livejournal.com]

Wow, what a treat to see that Hemovore made the list. Good luck, everyone!

[elisa-rolle.livejournal.com]

Break a leg Jordan! Elisa

What an honor!

You are welcome Lynn. Break a leg! Elisa

[adriannebrennan.livejournal.com]

Wow. I'm deeply honored to be considered. Thank you so much!

Thank to you to partecipate. Break a leg! Elisa

[dmatkins.livejournal.com]

Wow. Chris and I didn't even know Faewolf in the running! That's wonderful. Thanks! This made my day!

[elisa-rolle.livejournal.com]

It was a Dark Horse, a book nominated by the Jury that wasn't in the Popularity Contest. I think it's even a worthier result. Break a leg! Elisa

[2metaldog.livejournal.com]

I didn't even know my novel was up for an award *head desk*. Thank you for including it on this list and thank you to everybody who voted for it.

[elisa-rolle.livejournal.com]

LOL, yes it was, not only in the popularity contest but also as Jury's Choice. Break a leg! Elisa

Whoa -- heavy competition!

Bless you all! I especially throw fairy dust on Rowan, Cameron, Dakota, Ariel....

You all wrote rememberable, awesome books! You'll be winners, no matter what!
