Veronica Clarke has just accepted an offer from John Blake to write the memoir Coming Clean – Living with OCD.

Hayley Leitch was just four years old when she had a compulsion to jump over her father’s fishpond. Small for her age and unable to swim, Hayley almost drowned but she couldn’t stop. One compulsion followed another until soon Hayley was performing exhausting rituals and was plagued with intrusive thoughts every day. 

Veronica’s A Dog Called Dez is released by John Blake on October 7th 2013.
