STALKING A KILLER by best selling author Marilyn Clay takes readers from the rocky shores of Lake Stevens near small town Pinehill, Texas, to the teeming streets of Dallas and sweltering beaches of Miami as aspiring PI 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 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 . . . and trusting him. 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 amateur sleuthing skills to solve the mystery herself.

This NEW, revised and expanded edition of the popular novel, BETSY ROSS: ACCIDENTAL SPY by Marilyn Clay 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 by 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 glorious 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 best-selling author 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.

18th and 19th CENTURY ENGLISH WOMEN AT SEA is a lively and entertaining account of the type of women one would have normally found, legally or illegally, on board ship during this time period, namely-prostitutes; officers and midshipmen's wives and other female passengers, and women masquerading as sailors or crewmen. Colorful but factual accounts of little-known incidents in the book are drawn from letters written by sailors and other men at sea, from diaries of such notable figures as Admiral Horatio Nelson, and from autobiographies written in the late 1700s by women such as Mary Lacy, who took to the sea masquerading as men, and lived to tell of their experiences. Noted historians who have published works on the same subject are quoted. MARILYN CLAY is the acclaimed author of over twenty books. Her most recent novels DECEPTIONS: A COLONIAL JAMESTOWN NOVEL, A PETTICOAT AND LAMBSKIN GLOVES and BETSY ROSS: ACCIDENTAL SPY are all set in Colonial America and are available both in print and as e-books.

YOU ARE NEVER ALONE is a book for all spiritual seekers. We all came into this life on Earth accompanied by a host of loving, caring and understanding Spirit friends, who are with us every moment of every day and night, waiting patiently to assure us that no matter how lost and alone we feel, we are truly not alone; we are, in fact, loved and cared for, and protected forever. How marvelous to know that gentle, compassionate, loving guidance is as close as the air we breathe We have only to listen for the voices of our Spirit friends, who want to help us remember the Real Spiritual Truth of our God-created Beings. Like many of you, I, too, grew up in a confusing, tumultuous home filled not with loving support and encouragement, but with hostility, anger, and abuse. As a child and teenager, I believed the only way to escape was to leave home and go off on my own. I managed to put myself through college and was thrilled to begin a career in my chosen field, yet, inside, I still did not feel the way I had expected, or wanted, to feel. In desperation, I began to search for a way to heal the anxiety and depression I was suffering. My path to wholeness was not easy and back then, not a great deal of help was available. Eventually, however, I did find answers and over the years, have evolved from the frightened lost soul I used to be. . .the scared young woman who was afraid to speak up, or even to feel my own feelings . . . to one who can relax and even assert herself when necessary. By learning how to communicate with my loving Spirit Guides and to know that my Guardian Angels are always nearby to help and protect me, fear is no longer a part of my life. I now feel confident and assured of my rightful place in this magnificent Universe that God created for each one of us to enjoy Many wonderful books on this same subject have already been written. However, in my quest to uncover the truth, I found that many books on spiritual principles just told the seeker where they "should" be in their spiritual journey and what they "should" be doing. Because I was not yet "there" I came away feeling guilty for my failure to already be who the author declared I should be. Too often the material was simply not telling the reader "how" to open their heart, or "how" to suddenly feel love instead of anger, or dislike, for others. The Gentle Reminders in YOU ARE NEVER ALONE remind you of the Truths that, deep down in your heart, you already know. We all came into this life, agreeing to "forget" what our life was like on the spiritual plane. The time has come now to awaken from the deep sleep we fell into upon this Earth. But because we have all spent many lifetimes wandering around in the dark, our human hearts and minds are filled with a host of unexamined beliefs, painful memories, guilt over past failures, and faded dreams for a better future. Most of the Gentle Reminders in YOU ARE NEVER ALONE were given to me by my Spirit friends. All will gently help you recognize how your old unhealthy beliefs are no longer serving you; and how to bring them to conscious awareness to be transmuted by love. Best-selling author Marilyn Clay has studied spiritual principles since she was a young adult and considers spirituality to be the most important and meaningful aspect of her life. Marilyn Clay is the author of over two dozen books, among them nineteen historical novels, three books for children, and numerous best-selling non-fiction titles. YOU ARE NEVER ALONE is also available in Ebook from Amazon. God Bless and Keep You Safe Now and Forevermore.
