"Hellraiser— Mother Jones: An Historical Novel"

For my Goodreads friends: If you're having a hard time thinking of meaningful Christmas gifts for people you know who care about the social, political and economic issues of our time and their connection to history, here's the deal. From Black Friday till ... we are offering two copies of "Hellraiser — Mother Jones: An Historical Novel" for the price of one (paperback or ebook) at the author's website: www.jerryash.com

At the website, the price for a paperback is $15.95 and no shipping charge if both books are sent to the same address. During the sale you get two books for $15.95. Ask for autographs at no extra charge.

Ebooks are priced at $7.95. During the sale you get two ebooks for $7.95 and they can be sent to two different email addresses at no charge.

As a novel, "Hellraiser" is a more intimate account of the iconoclastic life and times of Mary Harris Jones — known as Mother Jones to thousands — fighter for the rights of the working class and the underclass from the Civil War to the Great Depression. A study in contrasts between the goals and objectives of capitalism and democracy, the book is a journey through some of the most dramatic episodes of American history from post Civil War insurrections and riots, to the historic Chicago Fire and the rise of big business and big labor.

Most importantly, the novel brings the story of Mother Jones full circle, comparing the issues of her time to the social, political and economic troubles of the present.

Hi,

I just opened a giveaway for my historical novel The Ambitious Madame Bonaparte.

As a clever girl in stodgy, mercantile Baltimore, Betsy Patterson dreams of a marriage that will transport her to cultured Europe. When she falls in love with and marries Jerome Bonaparte, she believes her dream has come true—until Jerome’s older brother Napoleon becomes an implacable enemy.

Based on a true story, The Ambitious Madame Bonaparte is a historical novel that portrays this woman’s tumultuous life. Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte, known to history as Betsy Bonaparte, scandalized Washington with her daring French fashions; visited Niagara Falls when it was an unsettled wilderness; survived a shipwreck and run-ins with British and French warships; dined with presidents and danced with dukes; and lived through the 1814 Battle of Baltimore. Yet through it all, Betsy never lost sight of her primary goal—to win recognition of her marriage.

CONTINUANCE - Free on Amazon February 10 to 14, 2014

Hi Everyone - My book, CONTINUANCE, will be free on Amazon for the next five days and I hope you'll have a chance to check it out. It's for all readers who like history with their mystery. The book alternates between dual time periods - 1905 New York City and present day - and is two separate stories connected by the century-old remains discovered in a pirate's tunnel in modern-day Savannah during an FBI search for a kidnapped seven-year-old child, the son of a wealthy New York City real estate tycoon. If you liked the alternating time periods in Tess Gerritsen's THE BONE GARDEN, you'll like CONTINUANCE.
