Book Description
BETSY ROSS: ACCIDENTAL SPY . . . In Philadelphia 1776 as the American Revolutionary war is breaking out, Betsy Ross wonders what really happened the night of the munitions warehouse explosion that killed her beloved husband John Ross. Was the explosion an accident or was the warehouse fire intentionally set? When the authorities refuse to investigate the crime, Betsy vows to solve the mystery herself but is soon drawn into Philadelphia’s dangerous underworld of spies and double agents working for both the British and the Patriots. Ultimately she has no choice but to trust the wrong man, but will she lose her life, or the lives of those she holds dear, in the process? “BETSY ROSS: ACCIDENTAL SPY will leave you breathless with anticipation wondering if Betsy will succeed in her mission to bring down the ruthless double spy intent on thwarting the rebel cause.” -Richard Whitaker, historian. "A truly suspenseful and thrilling tale with an intelligent and feisty heroine whom we are all familiar with from our knowledge of American history. What fun to envision Betsy Ross living as a single woman in Philadelphia in 1776. Ms. Clay has written a clever and imaginative tale providing Betsy the opportunity to use both her talent as a seamstress, and an intuitive woman, to solve a real-life crime that even today remains an American mystery" - Melissa Frederick, historical author. “From the talented pen of Marilyn Clay, fast becoming known as a premier historical suspense author, comes yet another skillful and exciting masterpiece. Characters in Clay’s novels spring to life as they draw you into their world, allowing you to live the stories right along with them. BETSY ROSS: ACCIDENTAL SPY is among the first, if not the first, novel ever written for adults featuring Betsy Ross, a legendary icon in American history as the heroine!” - Janet Stewart, American Historical Preservation Society. "One of the most suspenseful tales of spying and espionage cleverly interwoven into a stunningly realistic depiction of the Revolutionary war, featuring life as it was in 1776 for normal, everyday citizens caught up in a drama they had no choice but to endure." - Pat Beardon, historian. "This is the sort of historical novel you don't want to see end. I sat up long into the night reading this book. I only hope Ms. Clay intends to write a sequel! Thoroughly enjoyed, thoroughly recommended!"- Andrea Walsh. BETSY ROSS: ACCIDENTAL SPY is also available in print from major online retailers, and in audio from Google Books. (Author note: All of the 1776 Revolutionary war events depicted in BETSY ROSS: ACCIDENTAL SPY, including the names of British ships, General's names, battle locations, George Washington and Benjamin Franklin's spymaster activities, are all historically accurate, however history does not substantiate that the person known as Betsy Ross ever engaged in covert activity.) Other historical suspense mysteries by MARILYN CLAY include: DANGEROUS DECEPTIONS: A COLONIAL JAMESTOWN NOVEL, and SECRETS AND LIES also set in colonial Jamestown; both novels originally released in hardcover. Secrets And Lies has been released in paperback as A PETTICOAT AND LAMBSKIN GLOVES.

Book Description
A NEW, revised and expanded addition of the popular novel, BETSY ROSS: ACCIDENTAL SPY by Marilyn Clay. This edition contains three brand new chapters making the book a total of 340 pages.Betsy Griscom falls in love with John Ross while both young people are employed as apprentices at Webster's Upholstery Shop in Philadelphia. Three years after the couple marry, a warehouse explosion kills Betsy's beloved husband John. Betsy soon begins to wonder if the explosion was an accident or was the warehouse fire intentionally set? Was someone attempting to steal the Patriot weapons stored there? When the authorities refuse to investigate the crime, Betsy determines to uncover the truth, but finds herself deep in Philadelphia's dangerous and confusing underworld of spies and double agents. Ultimately she has no choice but to trust the wrong man, but will she lose her life, or the lives of those she holds dear, in the process? BETSY ROSS: ACCIDENTAL SPY is a gripping tale of one woman's courage during the pivotal year of 1776 in our nation's history. "I made every effort to remain true to historical events, such as the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence, and battles fought in colonial New York and New Jersey. In my story Betsy interacts with real-life historical figures George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and her siblings, Sarah, Rachel and George, as well as her future husband, privateer Captain Joseph Ashburn. I consulted diaries and letters written by American Revolutionary generals and soldiers who lived then. I hope readers will enjoy imagining how Betsy's life 'might have been' in the year 1776, keeping in mind that the premise of my story is fictional. History does not substantiate that Betsy Ross ever engaged in any sort of covert activity." - author, Marilyn Clay "One of the most suspenseful tales of spying and espionage cleverly interwoven into a stunningly realistic depiction of the Revolutionary war featuring life as it was in 1776 for normal, everyday citizens caught up in a drama they had no choice but to endure." . . . Pat Beardon, historian. “BETSY ROSS: ACCIDENTAL SPY will leave you breathless with anticipation wondering if Betsy will succeed in her mission to bring down the ruthless double spy intent on thwarting the rebel cause. Chock full of authentic historical details about the Revolutionary war. Highly recommended!” . . . Richard Whitaker, historian. “From the talented pen of Marilyn Clay, fast becoming known as a premier historical suspense author, comes yet another exceptional tale. Characters in Clay's novels spring to life as they draw you into their world, allowing you to live their stories right along with them. In addition, BETSY ROSS: ACCIDENTAL SPY is, I believe, the first novel ever written for adults featuring Betsy Ross as the heroine.” - Janet Stewart. “That American icon Betsy Ross might have spied on the British for the Patriots during the Revolutionary war is not a stretch. Loyalist customers would have frequented Betsy's upholstery shop in Philadelphia presenting her with the perfect opportunity to listen and learn, which is exactly what she does in this clever, suspenseful, and beautifully written tale that had me in its grip from page one. I laughed and cried with Betsy and her beloved sister Sarah as the story unfolded and reached a most satisfying conclusion. Highly recommended!” – Melissa Frederick, author "This is the sort of historical novel you don't want to see end. I sat up long into the night reading this book. I only hope Ms. Clay intends to write a sequel! Thoroughly enjoyed, thoroughly recommended!" - Andrea Walsh, author. "Ms. Clay's historical suspense novels always please. Her Colonial Jamestown novels have been praised and recommended by both Booklist and the Library Journal. BETSY ROSS: ACCIDENTAL SPY is no exception. Very highly recommended." - Beth Finley, author.

“Complete with a romantic subplot, DECEPTIONS: A Colonial Jamestown Novel is a strong historical tale that brings the Jamestown Virginia Colony to life through the eyes of the determined heroine Catherine, who manages to travel to the New World in search of her betrothed. Breathtaking suspenseful action follows as Catherine tries to unravel the various mysterious happenings between her husband and the Powhatan Indians. Readers will relish this in-depth look at how the first English colonists struggled to survive in Jamestown, circa 1617-1619.” —Harriet Klausner Desperate to escape a marriage arranged by her aristocratic London guardians and to wed her childhood sweetheart, beautiful but innocent Catherine Parke secretly boards a ship in England bound for the New World in 1617. But the shock of what greets Catherine in Colonial Jamestown nearly destroys her. Her betrothed, now a successful Indian trader seems to be hiding secrets. Although disappointments and disasters repeatedly test Catherine's strength and courage, a burning desire to uncover the truth drives her to unravel a confusing web of deceptions and lies. With her own life in jeopardy, Catherine is drawn to the one man who can save her, but wonders if she can trust him, or will she be swept into an unknown and terrifying wilderness, once again loving the wrong man and paying dearly for it? Vivid historical details bring the Jamestown settlement and Indian villages to life.

Highly recommended!” — Mary Frasier “Marilyn Clay's DECEPTIONS is a multi-layered story of struggle, lies and the quest for love in the New World. Faithful to historical detail, including language and actions, it was a joy to read such a wonderfully written historical novel.

STALKING A KILLER by Marilyn Clay . . . From the rocky shores of Lake Stevens near small town Pinehill, Texas to the teeming streets of Dallas and sweltering beaches of Miami, aspiring Private Investigator Amanda Mason fearlessly stalks the killer who is letting her father take the blame for murder. What’s worse, Amanda doesn’t really trust the man who has agreed to help her and who is traveling with her. Since he’s keeping his true identity a secret, Amanda fears it’s possible he knows all the answers and is purposely keeping her in the dark. But, why? Amanda has no doubt that Jake, her elderly father, is innocent of the crime. His only crime was taking the wealthy man out on the lake to fish. Now, the cops are not only trying to pin the murder on Jake, they’re threatening to take Amanda’s five-year-old son away from her. Because the cops refuse to look elsewhere for the real killer, Amanda has no choice but to rely on her own amateur sleuthing skills to solve the mystery herself.

Book Description
In 1620 four young English girls—Diana, Sallie Mae, Faith, and Prudence—strangers to one another and each hiding secrets, board a Bride Ship in England bound for the New World. Seeking love, husbands, and the adventure of a lifetime, the girls are instead swept into a maelstrom of lies, treachery, and deceit. Upon arriving in Jamestown, they are shocked to discover that someone in the colony wants one, or all of them, dead. Diana bravely sets aside her grief to unravel the mystery before the killer strikes again. When all clues point to the most likeable and highly respected Jamestown colonist, Diana knows that here in the New World, where women must remain silent and submissive, no one will believe her. Yet as she uncovers long-hidden secrets, she knows that saying nothing makes her part of the lie. When charges of witchcraft are leveled against one of the girls, Diana boldly speaks out in her defense. Despite the turmoil in their lives, each girl still longs for love, a husband, and a new life. With the lies and treachery spinning out of control, the final shocking event stuns the entire colony. Will every secret now come to light? Or are the most horrific best left buried? Major characters from Marilyn Clay’s DECEPTIONS—Catherine, Phyrahawque, Noah, and Adam—contribute to this suspenseful tale of intrigue, romance, and adventure in the New World. Rich with historical detail, fast-paced and brimming with unexpected twists and turns, A PETTICOAT AND LAMBSKIN GLOVES (originally published in hardcover as SECRETS AND LIES) will keep readers guessing until the final page. “Not only was the plot extremely interesting and lived up to the ‘hype’ that’s still out there for witches and wizards of the 1600’s, some of the characters from Marilyn Clay’s previous Jamestown novel DECEPTIONS make an appearance, which added to the entertainment. The changes and plot twists keep readers on their toes, and will have mystery and history lovers running to Amazon and their local libraries for this one! Stay alert, because this plot holds your attention until the very last page.” - ONCE UPON A ROMANCE "Reading A PETTICOAT AND LAMBSKIN GLOVES is like stepping through a doorway into history. Marilyn Clay has done an incredible amount of research into the period, how it would look and smell and feel if you were truly in 1620s Jamestown. The romances are sweet, touching and period appropriate. A PETTICOAT AND LAMBSKIN GLOVES is the kind of book you want to get lost in and are sad when it’s over. Thoroughly recommended." -Janis May, author. "I won this book in a contest from the author, with no obligation to give a review. But I must. I've been to Jamestown, researched the early settlers and walked that same plot of ground. This story is so real . . . all my knowledge fit with the people, scenes and events. The story depicts the hardships of the people of the times when they embark to a new land full of unexpected rewards and grave disappointments. Sallie Mae is one of the strongest characters and deserves her ending. Prudence surprised me with what she did in a moment of weakness. Faith’s life was changed by the actions of her sister. The culmination of her deeds also surprised me and showed what can happen as we are affected by the actions of those we hold dear. This is historical fiction – some of the best I’ve read. I am thrilled! Marilyn Clay is an author to follow. 5 Stars. Highly recommended." - Mary Deal MARILYN CLAY has also authored the new, critically acclaimed Regency-set Miss Juliette Abbott Mystery Series with clever, young Miss Juliette Abbott as the amateur sleuth.

Eliza believes the tendre is making her father look like an old fool! What better way to show him how ridiculous he looks than by encouraging a much older gentleman to come calling on her! At thirty-eight, the dashing General March Huntley is hardly over the hill. Back in London after a long military campaign, he's making female hearts flutter. Vastly surprised when the lively Miss Eliza Foxburn asks him to call on her, he is pleased until he learns she is only playing a girlish game. Huntley, known as Wellington’s Master Strategist, plans a battle of his own: to outfox Miss Foxburn and teach her a lesson…in love. “Miss Eliza is super clever and funny!” –Melissa Frederick. “Miss Eliza’s Gentleman Caller is reminiscent of the best of Jane Austen; laugh out loud amusing!”–Red River Reviews. “Loads of fun!” – Gail Eastwood.
