The Ghost of Colby Drive [Paperback]

When one door closes, another opens... or so they say. But what happens if that door is stuck? Some choices you are forced to confront, no matter how ugly or dangerous. Such is the doorstep of Alyson Bell, a tenacious teenage girl new to the rural town of Hollow Creek; a town rumored to be haunted by a ghostly spirit and a cat with more than the usual nine lives. Alyson tests her own strengths and weaknesses as she transitions into her new life, facing everyday teenage obstacles (bosoms and boyfriends), and hurdling over supernatural mysteries only she is predestined to encounter. Does one girl have what it takes to piece together the myriad of clues left behind in her century-old house to end a cat-astrophic curse, vanquish an evil soul-stealing vampire and still have time for a relationship with her new boyfriend, all before the next full moon?

This novel is appropriate for ages 13-18.

Award-winning author Kristin Groulx writes paranormal young
adult romances, chick-lit and paranormal thrillers. With a flare for the
mysterious, a fascination with magic, and a passion for discovering love in
its many forms, Kristin knew it was only natural to write fiction. She is
also no stranger to traveling, having lived and explored the United States,
Asia and Canada.

Her real life ghostly encounters are incorporated into her novels, and
present a direct look at uncommon paranormal experiences. For the past
decade, Kristin has dug up extensive genealogical research, ranging from
tiptoeing around cemeteries and rummaging betwixt pages of census records.
Her direct lineage includes several writers, journalists and editors, and
perhaps even a few cauldron-brewing witches. But that last part we'll let
you decide.

She lives with her husband and two kids in the beautiful country of Canada.
The near arctic winter temperatures allow for an insane amount of time
spent indoors, diligently writing, editing and undertaking hours of
caffeine-induced, sleep-deprived historical research for her novels. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
