Publisher discounts book for American Civil War Birthday Saturday (April 07th, 2008)

Gettysburg publisher Patriot Press discounts Civil War novel Shades of Gray for one day only Saturday

In recognition of April 12 being celebrated as the birthday of the American Civil War, Gettysburg publisher Patriot Press is discounting the price of their 2008 release Shades of Gray: A Novel of the Civil War in Virginia for one day only.
At 4:30 a.m. on April 12, Confederates under Gen. Pierre Beauregard opened fire with 50 cannons upon Fort Sumter in Charleston, S.C., marking the beginning of the bloody four-year war that claimed more than 600,000 lives.
“To mark that historic event and draw attention to the significance of that day, my publisher has agreed to offer a one-day discount of 25% off the purchase price plus free shipping at their Web site www.patriotpressbooks.com on April 12,” said author Jessica James. “I’m so pleased that those readers who have seen all the wonderful reviews will now have the chance to purchase it at a discounted price.”
The Civil War is the backdrop for the page-turning plot of Shades of Gray, which is gathering attention for its accurate portrayal of the conflict and its passionate description of the private lives of Virginians forever changed by war.
Hailed as a “sympathetic and loving portrait” by the Historical Novel Society, the novel has captured the attention of Civil War authors and historians, as well as avid romance readers. Bob O’Connor, award-winning author of “The Virginian Who Might Have Saved Lincoln,” calls “Shades of Gray” the most accurate account of the War Between the States he has ever read, describing it as “exciting, intense and romantic from start to finish.”
Shades of Gray (ISBN: 978-0-9796000-0-5) is available at www.patriotpressbooks.com, as well as Internet retailers and bookstores everywhere.
