Blinded by the Brass Ring

By Patricia Scarlett

Stylish and ambitious, Jewelle Joseph, JJ to her friends, has the perfect opportunity to make her move into senior management through the newly created sales and distribution spin-off company. It will mean a significant salary increase and equally important it will allow her to reign in and over her rival and fellow international sales executive, Chantal Mercier. But Chantal's got her eye on the VP of sales position too. The competition between these two ambitious women moves from the glitzy office towers of downtown Toronto to the glamorous world of the international television market in Cannes. While navigating family drama in Montreal-- a philandering father and traditional Jamaican mother who tries to control Jewelle's life and the lives of her siblings-- Jewelle tries to balance her doubts about her boyfriend Anthony Brown, who Jewelle perceives as lacking in ambition, and the hot and heavy pursuit of her by Johann Eriksson, a dashing and successful Swedish television executive. Her posse's honesty and support keep her grounded. Blinded by the Brass Ring, Patricia Scarlett's debut novel in the Jewelle Joseph Series, centres on the professional and personal life of Jewelle Joseph, an Afro-Canadian international television sales and distribution executive who works for a small TV channel with a big reputation.
