Overview

It wasn't easy fitting in at an exclusive girls' boarding school like Huntington Hill. But in her senior year, Jinx finally felt like she belonged. Lexie--beautiful, popular Lexie--wanted her for a friend. Just being near her new friend made Jinx feel dizzy and wonderful. Jinx knew she had a big crush on Lexie, and that she had to do something to make it go away. But Lexie had other plans--and Lexie always got her way. A classic lesbian novel about two private school girls who are deeply attracted to each other. CRUSH was one of the first novels of its time to explore the mind and feelings of a girl exploring her attraction to another girl. It became an overnight bestseller in the lesbian and women's community in the 1980s. The new edition has a forward by well-known psychotherapist Dr. Marny Hall, author of The Lavender Couch and The Lesbian Love Companion. CRUSH was first published by Little, Brown, then Avon Books, then Alyson Publications. Now Futcher's own Women Gone Wild Press is releasing this new edition.

About the Author

Jane Futcher was raised in Baltimore, MD. She began her professional writing life as a script writer and producer of live, high school multimedia auditorium shows for Rick Trow Productions in Philadelphia. Later, as a project editor for Harper & Row Media in New York, she wrote and produced educational programs for the science and society curriculum. In 1977, after moving to San Francisco, she wrote her first novel, "Crush," published in 1981 by Little, Brown.  That same year, her book "Marin: The Place, The People," was released by Holt, Rinehart and Winston.  For many years she was a freelance writer for the San Francisco Chronicle, Plexus and The Slant newspapers.

In 1991, Avon Books published her young adult novel, "Promise Not to Tell." After teaching English for several years, she joined the staff of the Marin Independent Journal, where she was an editorial writer and reporter for nearly a decade. Her novel "Dream Lover" was published by Alyson Publications in 1997. In 1999, she and her partner, Erin Carney, bought 160 acres in the mountains of inland Mendocino, where they moved permanently in 2004 with their two long-haired dachshunds, Woody and Luna. "Women Gone Wild," published on 2012, is the story of happened when they left the city behind and took up residence in the middle of nowhere.
