ASparrow,
You and I are in pretty much the same boat. I'll tell you what I've decided. Right now readers are the most important thing to me. If I get them mostly through free coupons, that's okay by me. And if a lot of the copies downloaded now don't get read for a while, well, that is the fate of many a worthy book, so why complain?
I really hope that a whole lot of folks download Boomerang, whether to read soon or maybe later, because the more people who have it, the better chance it will find the people who will like it a lot. And let's face it, there is no such thing as a book that appeals to everyone. So the more people who have a chance to check it out the better chance a good number will say "Gee, this is good!".
So.......to all of you lovely mobileread members, if you haven't already checked out Boomerang, I would like to extend this invitation to you to take advantage of this Smashwords coupon.

Ted Hogwood's beloved Sarah, a jazz guitar, is in the window of Topp Dollar Pawn. The only way he can get the money to rescue her is to accept an assignment from the AABC, a not nearly official branch of the United States intelligence community. He is partnered with Jerry Kwiatkowski, master of the Hammond B-3 organ and chronic flatulence sufferer, to steal a boomerang containing secrets that should have died with J. Edgar Hoover over thirty years ago. It would be a simple job if only they knew what they were doing. And if a crossbow wielding assassin, two unemployed Australian women, The Director of Central Intelligence and a clothing optional former onion festival queen were not also hot on the boomerang's trail.
