Goal for Mother JonesI don't expect "Hellraiser" to become a best seller. I don't expect to become rich and famous. But I celebrate every time the book is opened and the lessons of Mother Jones' history fly out . It is needed today by the champions of the working poor who fight like hell for the living and honor the sacrifices made by the champions of the past.

Memo to: Mother Jones
From: Jerry Ash
HAPPY REBIRTH-WEEK!
Mother, I am happy to report that people were busy buying your new book on launch day Sunday and it continues through Launch WEEK, September 22-29.
We received some great new reviews on Goodreads and in newspapers around the country. I’m especially pleased with the one in the Charleston (W.Va.) Sunday Daily Mail and another new one on Amazon.com by “Calamity Jane”. I have become acquainted with “Calamity”, which is her pen name, and what’s significant is that she’s been a long time fan of yours. So she knew what she was writing about when she did her review.

Launch WEEK for “Hellraiser — Mother Jones: An Historical Novel” continues through September 29. It’s critical we do well this first week in order to get the attention of the Amazon.com algorithm which will boost the exposure of the book to more readers.
Mother, your people need to learn the lessons of your history. You wouldn’t believe the condition the country is in today. Everything you fought against has become so extreme today. We need an army of Mother Joneses now.
I have retold your story in a new and more meaningful way.
I’ve given you a new home base: the Facebook Hellraiser Club.

I have networked with 100 groups on Facebook and Goodreads and the list is growing. Tens of thousands are learning of your rebirth.
Mother, please thank these people and their group leaders when you visit their dreams. Just like 100 years ago, they are calling on you to help them RAISE HELL.
You called your followers in the coal mines “your boys”.
I am your main “boy” now, Mother.
Jerry Ash, your faithful son.
