When a young couple named Brenda and Vincent connect with the Universal Mind during a night in the desert, it changes their lives for the better. Brenda, an artist, becomes a master painter; Vincent, an engineer, produces breakthrough after breakthrough in optics. After inventing a pair of sunglasses intended to re-establish a connection to the Universal Mind using specific wavelengths of light, Vincent is killed in a freak accident. A bereft Brenda is left only with a pair of his sunglasses but learns how to use them to find Vincent's spirit and slowly begins to recover.
She's devastated when the sunglasses are stolen. This begins an odyssey of personal improvement as the glasses pass through several hands, rectifying the lives of all but one of the holders, as Brenda experiences brief flashes of their lives.
"Obscure Felicity" is a thoughtful, philosophical novel about what happens when individuals tap into the deep collective of human potential, and how it changes their lives for the better, opening up whole new worlds of creativity for them.
After graduating from Rutgers University with degrees in English and Sociology, Charlotte became a stained-glass artist until joining the corporate world of IT sales and marketing for many years. When facing some life changing struggles she became a Volunteer Literacy Tutor and Reiki Master, mainly to help overcome her grief and heal herself. That invaluable experience had a major impact in broadening her base of understanding of life's universal ways and human potential. Once retired from the corporate world she went on a World Tour with her partner and traveled through over 60 countries. They maintained a pictorial blog of their journey, with their travels still continuing now in the US. Writing her first novel came as her Muse kept highlighting ideas in her head fusing consciousness, technology, and human potential.
