Lesbian Crushes at School: A Diary on Growing Up Gay in the Eighties by Natasha Holme @lescrushdiaries

By Book Goodies

What inspired you to write your memoir?
I wrote this memoir from diaries that I kept as a child. It is the ‘prequel’ to my already published diary on how I became bulimic. I have always wanted to see my diaries in book form.

About your Book:
In 1983 thirteen-year-old Natasha is in love with her French teacher, Miss Williams. When Natasha is cruelly banished from Miss Williams’s class forever, the love develops into obsession … stalking … unhealthy behaviour … and painfully misguided cries for attention.

This uncomfortable yet light-hearted memoir in diary form is primarily a record of obsession.

Natasha is a love-sick lesbian teenager in an all-girls school in the eighties, juggling her Latin homework, Bible study, a crush on Elaine Paige, and her suppressed sexuality. How can she make sense of it all?

But more importantly … tormented by unrequited love … how can Natasha make Miss Williams love her back? Take a sneaky peek inside …

How did you decide how to publish your book and where is it published through:
Trying to go the traditional route takes too long, so I have published on Amazon as both paperback and ebook. It is also available at B&N, iTunes, and Smashwords.

How do you see writing a Memoir as different from writing other genres of books?
I’m loving the experience of creating books that tell the story of my life.

Author Bio:
Probably the most prolific diary writer in the history of the world, I have been obsessively recording my crushes on females since the age of fourteen. I clock up half a million words per year, but never let on to the woman I’m dating that I jot down everything she says and does.

I LOVED my all-girls public school. Apart from mercilessly hounding Miss Williams, with whom I fell in love at first sight at the age of twelve, I was a model pupil. In my early twenties I swapped my Latin homework for drug-taking and squatting.

Having sported an ‘I LOVE MISS WILLIAMS’ tattoo on my left wrist for eleven years, I finally tired of the inane questions it encouraged and got a cover-up in 1999.

I’m a list-writing geek and a drummer. I play table tennis and make my own beer. I am not a stalker anymore.
