Underwater Vibes - by Mickey Brent (Paperback)

About the Book

When Hélène, a translator in Brussels, Belgium, meets Sylvie, a young Greek photographer and swim coach, unsettling feelings hijack Hélène's mind and body-even her poems.

Book Synopsis

How to survive that pivotal moment when admiration turns to attraction?

Hélène Dupont, a scientific translator in Brussels, Belgium, cherishes two things: flowers and her cat. She writes bad poetry to help her survive her painful existence with her husband, until she is forced to undergo a radical lifestyle change. Sylvie Routard, a young Greek photographer, enters Hélène's world as her new private swim coach. During their daily lessons, Hélène's admiration toward Sylvie turns to attraction. As unsettling feelings hijack Hélène's mind and body, daydreams featuring Sylvie enter her world--even her poems. While the two athletes increasingly feel underwater vibes in the pool, Hélène questions her relationship at home, and everything else in life.

About the Author

Ever since Mickey Brent was little, she knew she would write books. She has always had an insatiable curiosity about human psychology and what makes people tick. She began penning adventure stories as soon as she could hold a pencil. She would pretend she was a famous author by creating colorful little picture books and selling them to her brothers and neighborhood kids for a dime a piece.

As an adult, Mickey worked as a freelance artist and writer for various editorial publications in San Francisco, C A. When the travel bug bit her, she relocated to several countries in Europe, where she became a translator and language teacher and studied creative writing. Mickey has finally settled down, to the astonishment of family and friends, after thriving for two decades as a globetrotter. Through the adventures of her fictional characters, Mickey's aim is to provide readers with delicious entertainment as well as glimpses of her favorite cities and cultures around the world. She relies on her linguistic and teaching skills to fund her writing passion, and spends her free time learning exotic languages, drawing, taking photos, and jotting down crazy anecdotes from her travel experiences in faraway lands.
