About the Book

If he weren’t a celebrity, 17-year-old Wyatt “White Ghost” Dumaine would probably serve as a piñata for any bullying group at his New Orleans high school. After all, he’s brainy, small and skinny, an orphan — and an albino. Even his fame, as a blues guitar prodigy, isn’t exactly a big deal to his classmates. All it provides is a sort of hands-off notoriety.

Ghost has one true friend, the gorgeous Allison Pernot, a New Orleans Saints cheerleader who, oh yeah, also happens to be a vampire. Insofar as the shallow emotions of the Undead allow, Allison enjoys Wyatt’s company and his extrasensory ability that helps identify potential victims who aren’t great citizens and won’t be missed. For his part, Ghost would love it if Allison would make him a vampire so they could be together forever.

But he also loves Tante, the elderly woman who adopted him when his parents died after Hurricane Katrina. Tante is distraught after a family tragedy — so how could he, in good conscience, abandon her? Too, he finds himself bonding emotionally with a classmate, Poe Watkins, the girl who runs his website and is reeling after a breakup with her boyfriend. Then, on the eve of the biggest gig of his life, Ghost discovers a terrible secret. Can Allison provide the only solution to his problems? Or should Wyatt decide to ensure happiness for Tante and Poe at great personal sacrifice?

White Ghost Blues is the Young Adult vampire novel for teens of 21 and older.
