By Melinda Rucker Haynes

The world is ending...or so it seems for junior tennis champion Ele O'Neill. How can she face life in a Montana ghost town after Seattle? There are no tennis courts, no friends and she's stuck in a falling down old theatre with a rotten little brother and parents who are acting like aliens. And there's SOMETHING hiding in Ele's room, watching her every move, but no one will listen to her.

Steven Douglas is a nineteen-year old Montana cowboy with one little problem: he's been dead for over 150 years. He's supposed to protect the weird O'Neill family from unimaginable evil lurking in the theatre, but the modern world of tight jeans and outspoken young ladies, namely tall, blonde Ele O'Neill has his full attention.

Though he seems kind of old-fashioned, Ele soon learns her ghost boyfriend Steven will brave hell itself and her parents to save her--and he's going to have to!

Rating: Sweet Romantic Comedy Thriller with paranormal elements. Minor fantasy violence proving a good prevails over evil theme.

"When you read GHOSTLY ACTS, you'll see why Melinda Rucker Haynes is a Golden Heart Winner. This is a sweet story of first love for young adults, but I think moms will enjoy this story too. Although a "first love" story, this novel moves along at a brisk pace, and adds enough excitement and adventure to keep readers hooked. Ele has problems every teenager can understand and relate to, and her character growth by the end of the novel is a model every teenager can follow and emulate. A very enjoyable read."

"Melinda Rucker Haynes is a writer who can show even grown-ups what it's like to be a young person these days. She has more e-novels lined up for release later in the year. If they are half as entertaining and insightful as GHOSTLY ACTS, they're well worth looking up."

"Young readers will identify with the trials and tribulations of Electra and Steven as they try to show the world that they really do know what's going on. GHOSTLY ACTS is an engaging and entertaining read for the preteen set and their parents. In fact, their parents may find aspects of Mr. and Mrs. O'Neill as uncomfortably close to home as their daughters find Electra's mood swings."
    ~ Liz Montgomery, Writers Club Romance Group

"I read GHOSTLY ACTS with my twelve-year-old daughter, Marisa, who gave it two thumbs up. Marisa declared the story "very well written," and would definitely recommend it. And we both liked the way the epilogue resolved the love affair. It's always nice to think that love transcends time and space."
    ~ Lauren Rabb, Crescent Blues Book Reviews.

"Melinda Rucker Haynes brings kids and their parents a wonderfully fun read in GHOSTLY ACTS, with the right mix of romance, danger and humor. If you are 10 or 110, you'll love and understand Ele's frustrations with a brother who gives bratty new dimensions, and celebrate in her excitement at meeting her true love in the ghost capitol of Montana."
    ~ Elizabeth Boyle, USA Today Best-Selling Author

"Melinda Rucker Haynes is a very accomplished teacher, author, and educator. Her uncomplicated and easily-read manuscript shows her extensive background in its emotional and exciting rendering. Her vibrant and unique characters capture the reader. Humorous moments abound when Steven tries to take in the modern world of tight jeans and outspoken young ladies. This refreshing story makes you feel the young characters' conflicts and insecurities. GHOSTLY ACTS is meant for young adults, but should be enjoyed by any fan of good, sweet romance. I look forward to reading more of this talented author with her upcoming releases."
