Living in a haunted former brothel with her free-spirited grandmother, her "sometimes" boyfriend, and a notorious drag queen, wedding singer Georgia Ray Millier, who longs to be a "Blues Goddess," must harness the power of courage and confidence to realize her dreams--both in life and love. Original.

Erica Orloff lives in south Florida. She loves jazz music and the blues and is a huge fan of Django Reinhardt and Etta James. She can't sing worth a damn, much to the chagrin of those she lives with, but keeps late hours and believes early mornings should be banned, as all true Blues Goddesses do.
Georgia Ray sings in a successful New Orleans wedding band, but her real desire is to be a blues singer like her great-aunt Irene. Georgia lives in her grandmother's brothel-turned-hotel, which is haunted by the ghost of a murdered prostitute who slams doors when the hotel's denizens make poor choices in love. Georgia knows a thing or two about this. After several failed relationships, she makes the mistake of sleeping with the bandmate her best friend Maggie is interested in. Then she runs into handsome Rick "Casanova" Jones, her high-school crush, at a wedding, and suddenly she's head-over-heels in love. But as she reads her aunt Irene's diary, it draws her closer to achieving her dream of becoming a bona fide blues goddess. Imbued with a luscious atmosphere and a lively, playful tone, Orloff's novel is a perfect read for a hot summer night. Kristine Huntley
