CROSSROADS: Showdown Available November 9th



About Crossroads: Showdown

Tough PI, Frank McGuire, attempts to help the FBI locate three abducted children from a small town in West Virginia. While channeling his inner spirt for assistance, he mistakenly calls forth a ghost. As Frank races against time to locate the missing girls, he receives help from the most unlikely of sources. To complicate matters, Rand has decided its time Frank commit to their relationship -- or run the risk of Rand being gone when he returns.

Available November 9th here: PHAZE

First Review: (Five Stars)

Keta Diablo delivers yet another steamy, hot, sexy and mysterious male/male erotic romance novel that will have you panting as well as making you want more. You won’t want the story to end since you only just get a peek at Frank's new side. I was sad that I finished this novel in less than six hours but I couldn't stop reading it until I found out how things would end for Frank and Rand. Now that I've read it, I hope Keta will finish writing the last novel in the Crossroads series so I can see if their relationship will make it like I want it to. I give this book 5 open books!

Great Review and a Great Deal!

I'm so happy to hear Whipped Cream Reviews loved Don't Dare the Reaper! They say in part:

This is a sweet short. I loved how close Cal and Sue are, yet how open a relationship they have. These things helped make them realistic and believable. Ms Ellwood keeps you wondering which way will they go. She does a great job propelling the plot along with hints from the sexy, grim reaper, Gil. Tack on a great happy ending and you've got a lovey afternoon read.

Read the whole thing. I'm so happy I'd like to offer everybody a change to save big on the story. When you go to Smashwords ONLY to buy Don't Dare the Reaper, enter the code VW52X to get this story for only 99 cents! This offer is good only through October 25, during Authors After Dark, so if you haven't bought the book yet now is the time to take advantage of this tricky treat.

Raising Awareness and Making A Difference with Michelle Houston

I know it is already a few days in to October, but I wanted to let everyone know, October is Domestic Violence Awareness month. (Visit: http://www.ncadv.org/ or http://dvam.vawnet.org/ for more information)

I have a spouse who treats me with love, support and affection. I am very fortunate in that regard. But I am very aware, due to close friends and family as well as the stories of strangers, that this is not always the case.

For the month of October, I will be donating a portion of my royalties from the sale of any of my Second Chance stories (DIGGIN' UP BONES, HER BEST MAN, A CHANCE OF PACE and A BID FOR LOVE) on the Phaze website to an area women's shelter.

This issue demands more of us than showing our purple ribbons. It demands that we help. And in this time of economic struggle, for many, that just isn't possible for them to give. But a little bit here plus a little bit there times a thousand adds up quick. So give where you can. And if you want to take part in my donation, simply follow the links below.

You all helped greatly in August, with my conservation drive. We can do this together as well ...
Because Phaze gives us monthly stats, it is possible to see what titles sold during October to figure what I need to donate, which is the only reason I exclue Fictionwise and ARe from the factoring. It takes months to get a block or sales stats from them.

Let's make a difference together.
Michelle

All of the stories can be found on the series page:
