Jocelyn Powers is a native Missourian. She is a graduate of the art school at Washington University in St Louis and worked for many years in advertising as a film and video producer.

In recent years Jocelyn has been drawn back to her creative roots by the pen. She has embarked on what she refers to as her hobby career and her first novel Clarity. She has been writing stories in her head for years and credits long time friend Robin Alexander for inspiring her to get them out of her gray matter and on to paper.

Jocelyn currently resides in St. Louis and shares a home with her beloved ninety pound Weimaraner (who thinks she’s the size of a Chihuahua). Joce is an avid skier and loves to be outdoors whenever possible. She still dapples with the visual arts and is an accomplished freelance digital video editor. Jocelyn emphasizes she doesn’t live a day without saying thank you for her family, good friends, good health and an amazing life.

Frustrated by a boss who continually passes her up for promotion, Chicago-based network producer Andrea Payton decides it’s time to take back control of her career. She accepts an executive producer position with Resort TV’s fledgling affiliate station KCOR in Summit County, the heart of Colorado ski country. The move from big city to small community affords her the opportunity to put some distance between her aching heart and constant reminders of the woman she loved. A romance was not in her plans.

Enter Snow Cap marketing exec Julianna Stevens. Julianna’s beauty and sweetness take hold of Andi’s bruised heart, and Andi is about to break the lesbian golden rule: no straight woman. While Andi tries to avoid falling deeper for the woman she deems “terminally hetero,” Julianna secretly wrestles with her perplexing feelings for the alluring new producer.

Through a haze of confusion and doubt, Andi and Julianna search for a moment of clarity.

Prominent New York acquisitions attorney Courtney Wilhelm had her entire life carefully planned…or so she thought. When Courtney’s half sister, Marissa, is found dead from an apparent overdose, Courtney assumes guardianship of Marissa’s daughter, Jade.

Courtney knows nothing of children and struggles to find balance as the custodian of a minor, while trying to maintain a high level of expertise expected by her clients and the firm. When she is confronted by Jade’s new teacher Lauren McCallum, sparks fly in more ways than one.

Can Courtney let go of the life she has planned so meticulously—and clings to so stubbornly— to have the life with Jade and Lauren that awaits her? Or will the fear of failure keep her from the love and happiness she didn’t even know she wanted?
