Ghostly Acts

Read An Excerpt
Award-winning young adult novel by
Melinda Rucker Haynes

 Your parents can move you to hell....

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

THE REVIEWS ARE IN!

"Ms. Haynes writes an intriguing story of an angry teenage girl who,
with the help of her ghostly sweetheart, comes to terms with what
life hands her. GHOSTLY ACTS is a rip-snorting adventure and a
tender love story, as well as a fascinating slice of Virginia City's
colorful history."
--Sherrie Holmes, Calico Trails Book Reviews

Ghostly Acts Rating: 4 Crowns
"In search of a good young adult romance brimming with thrills
and chills of the paranormal kind? If so, grab a front row seat to
GHOSTLY ACTS by Melinda Rucker Haynes. This award-winning
novel is an entertaining and insightful read for teens and adults
alike. GHOSTLY ACTS is a funny, scary and heart-warming book
with a charming cast of very human characters."
--Vicky Williams, Romance Foretold Book Reviews

"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."
--Reviewed by: Natalie Brunelle, Scribes World Reviews

"This a wonderful book. You definitely will not be able to stop once
you start. It's a must for readers who like paranormal stories with
a little romance. I highly recommend it for those in their late teens
and adults."
--Carisa Weeaks, My Shelf On-Line Books and Book Reviews

"An entertaining book for the younger romance reader.
This is a nice little romance appropriate for the younger set
and . . . even for adults."
--Michael Barnette, The Genrezone Reviews

"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. If they are half as entertaining and insightful as
GHOSTLY ACTS, they're well worth looking up.
--Lynne Perednia, CompuServe Romance Reviews

"The world is ending...or so it seems for Ele O'Neil. How can she face
life in a Montana ghost town after Seattle? The answer is simple-a
150 year old gorgeous ghost named Steven who has a mystery to
solve to save them both. GHOSTLY ACTS is a wonderful book for
both youth and adult. A delight to read for all."
--Micky Osburn, w/a Mary Maxwell, Silhouette Desire

"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, Award-winning author of NO MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE, Avon

"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 r
efreshing 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 release of T
HE HAUNTING OF JOSH WESTON."
--L. E. Franklin, Romance Communications Reviews
