It's 5 stars at Amazon, 5 stars at Smashwords!

I seem to have messed up the price change process over at Amazon and it is taking quite some time for Barnes and Noble to catch up with the new price. So why not just bring back the ninety-nine cent coupon for another week while all that gets sorted out?

CU67Y will get you Boomerang for just $.99 at Smashwords now through March 30. By that time the regular price should have sorted itself out.

Check out the reviews on Smashwords and Amazon. Folks like this book!

Okay, I wasn't going to do another shameless promotion of The House of Jacquarelle (the Kestral Voyages) here, but... well, it's just not selling fast enough! I mean, I've got taxes to pay in another few weeks! My car needs a transmission job! My medical tests aren't covered by my insurance! I have to buy new accessories for my cellphone! My cat is in the early stages of kidney failure! My wife wants to re-garden the backyard! My psoriasis is proving resistant to off-the-shelf shampoos! And do you know how expensive DVRs are these days?

C'mon, help me out! I'm shamelessly begging, here! Look, look, I'm on one knee! No, two knees... groveling like a worm, a pathetic worm!!

Besides, it's only $1.99. That's less than 2 whole bucks!

MaMiller · 03-23-2010, 05:54 PM

I had a little coaxing from my fairy godmother here on MobileRead...so I am here to present my two romantic suspense novels. (drumroll please)

Available on Smashwords and pretty much any format your heart desires for $1.99

VICTORY COVE http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/7274

Megan Summers thought that she was safe in the remote coastal village of Victory Cove, but today a stranger appeared on her doorstep. Was he her executioner?

A cryptic letter from a woman who came forward after thirty-five years, claiming to be his Mother brought Jake Grogan to Victory Cove. He was here to discover his past. Megan Summers was in Victory Cove to escape hers.

WIDOW'S TALE -http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/3352

Every night Serena Murphy stands on the deck of O'Flanagans Tavern, searching for a sign of her husband's body. Though he was pronounced lost at sea, Alan Murphy still haunted her as only his malevolent spirit could.

It had been ten years since Brett Murphy saw his sister in-law. The separation was to avoid temptation. Now Brett was in Victory Cove, to discover the truth about Alan's death.

Maureen, I had purchased all 3 of your books for my mom. I loaded one on her Reader for their trip, and she said she loved it. So, I will be loading the other 2 to her Reader for their trip during the Easter break.

Thanks for popping in for some "shameless" plugging.

Steve, Whoop, whoop!! K3 is here and ready. Time to pop over and download. Thanks

Dr. Drib · 03-24-2010, 06:46 AM

I've never seen such shameless plugging in my life.

I'M ENCOURAGED!

It was beautiful. I'm so proud (err, ...ashamed)

MaMiller · 03-24-2010, 07:01 AM

Dreams, your Mother has it so good!!!

She has a great daughter who keeps feeding her books

I know how much your Mom reads. She could probably single-handedly solve all the worlds crises!!

davidhburton · 03-24-2010, 07:20 AM

Hey, check this out!

I'm now in the Top 10 Atheism books at Amazon!

Congratulations David!!!

davidhburton · 03-24-2010, 08:40 AM

Yeah, it's pretty exciting!! ... I am so ashamed of myself.

She keeps me busy loading and maintaining her Reader (she has no desire to learn how to do it herself... I suspect that is because her daughter is willing to do it for her

). Don't ask me how, but this last trip she couldn't get back to the collection menu, so she read all the books in alphabetical order.

(at least it made it easier for me when I typed in the books to her spreadsheet of books read)

This last trip she read 98 ebooks and about 50 pbooks! I had loaded some of the genres I liked on her Reader, and she left notes that she DL (didn't like) them.

This would be soooo much nicer if we liked the same books!

Congratulations, David! I'm about 1/4 the way through your book and loving it. It is all the more interesting to me, as it isn't like other post apocalyptic books I've read.

davidhburton · 03-24-2010, 04:43 PM

Thanks! Glad to hear it! My hope was to make this as open to as many different reading types as I could. But then, that's been the problem with getting it into the hands of big publishers. They don't know where to slot it. (not to mention most thought it "too risky".)

MaMiller · 03-25-2010, 10:42 AM

I don't know, Dreams. A spreadsheet!

You're going to have to start charging administrative fees!

And if I may just make a general note about this thread. This is the friendliest group of 'shameless' pluggers I've ever seen.

I've seen cutthroat, avarice pluggers before. You know them...the "Read my book or I'll sit at the foot of your bed every night and stare at you so you have nightmares" type of posts. They end up just making me uneasy.

This is a happy place! With happy readers

and happy authors

Yeay us!!
