Ghost seems interesting, but is it a Wordpress replacement? If I wanted to create a simple site for an author, where they can sell a couple of books directly from the site. Can Ghost allow this? With Wordpress, I can quickly grab a theme and install a couple of plugins to get this working for free, save hosting and maybe a single theme purchase.

And where are you gonna find this supposed author?

I personally know two authors who have approached me about creating simple sites where they can sell their self-published books and blog about their book's content.

I doubt it but even then it doesn’t extrapolate any further.

As a dev, it’s your job to tell the client what’s good for them and it sure isn’t this.
