You're absolutely right about there being tons of femmes

************** If I recall correctly, you were particularly
interested in the 30s through the 60s. Starting with Vin
Packer's Spring Fire in 1952, lesbian-themed novels became
popular, many of them with a hardboiled or noir edge. I have
read a half dozen of Vin Packer's novels and thought them
noir, including Spring Fire. Her stuff ranges from good to
great. Other than the Packer novel, I haven't read any of the
others, but I know that Ann Bannon wrote several. Many of
them shared the same venue as the classic noir and hardboiled
of the postwar period, published as paperback originals by
Gold Medal, Signet, and Avon. Jaye Zimet has a great book out
on the subject titled Strange Sisters. I can pick out a few
titles that look hardboiled or noir, if you are interested,
but I can't vouch for their quality.
Oh. And the answer to the question in your post: Still living
the good life in the Garden of Eden. ;-)
