Homesick by Sam Hirst
Author Bio:
Dr. Hirst (who goes by Holly or Sam) is a self-proclaimed Gothic and Romance nerd who
completed their PhD in the Theology of the Early British Gothic (Hirst, “About”) and is an
associate lecturer, tutor, proofreader, translator, book-seller, and writer (@RomGothSam).
Some of the words they use to describe themself include “asexual, sapphic, queer…” and they
used their writing, especially “Homesick” to explore what those identities mean to them (Adler).
