About this eBook

Afrofuturism meets dystopia in this social satire about a 16-year-old white girl chasing her dreams in a world that rejects her.


Two hundred fifty years has passed since the AEXT-V4 pandemic killed off ninety-nine percent of the White American population.


Sixteen-year-old Tansy is a descendant of the one percent, the American elite who survived the pandemic. She lives with her younger sister and grandfather in the rapidly decaying isolation domes her wealthy ancestors built to ensure their survival.


Compared to the many other citizens of her township, Tansy lives an envied and privileged life. She’s a local celebrity, destined for a future as an actress in the American Bureau of Entertainment. She’s driven, calculating, and willing to take risks to get what she wants. She loves her life.


When the opportunity comes to start anew and leave the domes for good, will Tansy choose to stay behind, or will she venture out into a world of unknowns, where rumors of an incurable disease and hostile people run rampant? What will that choice mean for her future—her career ambitions, family, and identity?

About the author

Talia Clay started writing in and hoarding journals when she was nine years old. She graduated to writing poetry in high school and then college, where she got her BA in Creative Writing. (And Psychology because every good writer needs to know about people, right?) She’s worked as a secretary, telemarketer, high school & online teacher, camp counselor, freelance editor, and bookseller while blogging online. It wasn’t until grad school, where she earned her MA in Writing, that she developed an attention span long enough to write full books. White Minority is her first novel.

Talia is an avid reader, self-help junkie, and home gardener. She loves learning languages and alliteration in prose. She is a healthy food foodie who bakes too much sourdough bread and justifies eating sweet treats because she makes them with wholesome ingredients. When she isn’t working with words (or food), you can find her spending time with her family. An east coast native, Talia lives in Arkansas with her doting husband and daughter.
