As you have probably guessed from the countdown clock on the left, “Plank 5” is now officially to be known as “Faith, Hope and Trickery”. There were thirty-three votes cast in total in the title poll, and “FHT” garnered fifteen of those. “Faith Undone” came second, with eight votes, then “Dearly Departed” with six, and “The Confidence Trick” and “Riches Beyond Belief” trailing with only two votes each. I did not vote, although my husband did and won’t tell me which one he selected.
I am delighted with the choice – of course, I make sure that I like all five options so that I am always happy with your selection! But I am very grateful to everyone who took part, as I am hopeless at making decisions and am pleased to be able to palm one off on other people.
I am particularly grateful to be able to focus on something other than editing, as I am waiting to hear from my plot reader – tense times in the Grossey household! This weekend’s task is to finalise the back cover blurb.
