Abebooks finds at least three novels, besides "Nothing but
Blood". These are: "Carnal Greed", Newsstand Library 1960,
"Brush Fire!", Westminster 1979 (hardback), "The End of the
Line", Barnes 1970 (hardback). There's an anthology with a
Smith story from 1997, I don't know if it's a reprint.
There's also a South African anthology with a story by one
Pauline Smith - could she be the same? Note: this one is
without C.
"Carnal Greed" has a blurb that goes: "His constant search
for new sensations--the ultimate thrill--the timeless
passion--all these she promised with every urgent
gesture."
Pauline C. Smith seems to have had two same publishers with
Charles Willeford: Newsstand Library and Chicago Paperback
House. She must've written for AHMM at the time when
Willeford was an assistant editor. Betsy, are you still there
- do you know anything about Smith?
