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.)
