Rising to the Surface

DescriptionBubbles (aka Undine) is the heroine of this initially gritty, London-based romance. It is also the story of her recent realisation of the fact that she has a condition called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and charts her infatuated relationship with an unscrupulous therapist, Alexander.Soon the story lightens, along with her personal circumstances, as she meets Gabriel and begins to have happier and healthier relationships with those around her.About the AuthorHelen Poskitt is a graduate in Women's Studies & English Literature and an ex-freelance Journalist with a portfolio of published magazine articles and poems. This is her first novel - although a TV sitcom and a film script, both co-written with Patrick Whittaker, attracted favourable attention from such as Hat Trick Productions and the BBC a few years ago.Helen has just embarked on her next two projects: a novel about a small disparate group of people living as unwilling neighbours on boats at a small mooring in London, and a thriller, a very different book, about people competing to move into an apartment in Cannes.In the past, Helen has travelled extensively, usually on foot with a backpack, and undertaken a variety of jobs. She now lives alternately in London (on a boat) and France (in a bleak apartment) - often with her husband Jonathan Bingham and three rescued cats.
