    About this ebook

    In 1776 Philadelphia, just 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 it an accident or was the warehouse fire intentionally set?

    When the authorities refuse to investigate the crime, Betsy vows to uncover who was responsible for her husband's death, but soon finds herself drawn into Philadelphia's war-time network of spies and double spies working for both the British and the Patriots. Available in Ebook, Print and Audio online.

    "BETSY ROSS: ACCIDENTAL SPY will leave you breathless with anticipation wondering if Betsy will succeed in her mission to bring down the ruthless spy intent on thwarting the Rebel cause." -Richard Whitaker, historian.

    "A truly suspenseful and thrilling tale with an intelligent and feisty heroine with whom we are all familiar 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 a fearless, intuitive colonial woman. " - Melissa Frederick

    "From the talented pen of Marilyn Clay, fast becoming known as a premier historical 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. Well done!" - 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. Thoroughly enjoyed, thoroughly recommended!"- Andrea Walsh.

    (Author s 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 Colonial American historical novels by MARILYN CLAY include: DECEPTIONS: A JAMESTOWN NOVEL, and SECRETS AND LIES also set in colonial Jamestown; both novels were originally released in hardcover, and are now available as Ebooks. Secrets And Lies has been reprinted in paperback as A PETTICOAT AND LAMBSKIN GLOVES.

    MARILYN CLAY is also the author of seven Regency romance novels and ten titles in her new critically-acclaimed Miss Juliette Abbott Regency Mysteries Series featuring clever Miss Juliette Abbott as amateur sleuth. MURDER AT MORLAND MANOR, MURDER IN MAYFAIR, MURDER IN MARGATE, MURDER AT MEDLEY PARK, MURDER IN MIDDLEWYCH, MURDER IN MAIDSTONE, MURDER AT MONTFORD HALL, MURDER ON MARSH LANE, MURDER IN MARTINDALE and MURDER AT MARLEY CHASE  are all available in Ebook, Print and Audio online.

    BETSY ROSS: ACCIDENTAL SPY and all of the Juliette Abbott Regency Mysteries are clean, wholesome reads and suitable for teen readers.
