About 10 years ago, when I was still exclusively reading mysteries and suspense, I stumbled across a great series about a woman who taught??/ worked at a women's college. She was a lesbian and had just broken up with her SO but I believes met who also worked there. And I think there was something about a river nearby (I remember she rowed somewhere). I don't remember the author or the main characters name anymore. A (lesbian) friend and I were discussing books and I mentioned this series but she didn't remember it either. The name Ellen comes to mind but I don't know if that was the author or the character. Any help would be greatly appreciate. |

Ok, here's some titles to go through...I searched via keyword on Amazon: "mystery school lesbian" Anyway, I'm winding down for the night, so I am a little lazy to read through the list, but I do see some books from the 90's... Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_n_7/103-9136404-6578232?ie=UTF8&rs=1000&keywords=mystery%20school%20lesbian&rh=n%3A1000%2Ck%3Amystery%20school%20lesbian%2Cn%3A18 Last Edited on: 9/18/07 11:52 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

My un-great mind has been thinking it would be neat if a person or two put together a web site link list for finding LGBTQ books and authors by genre, etc. Last Edited on: 9/19/07 10:05 AM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

Sorry, Charlie! LOL Its none of them either. I know it was set in a college because as the books went on it seemed as if every woman in the dorm was lesbian also (which is not how it started). I got the books from the library. Maybe I'll go over there and see if anyone else remembers! |

Katherine Forrest? Sanda Scoppetone? (totally botched that last name) |

Okay, I reread the info on the Jane Lawless books (Hallowed Murder) and I think it may be Ellen Hart I'm thinking of. Especially with that book. Thanks for all the help! I'm going to see if a copy is available and reacquaint myself. |

It might be Ani. I know the first book was set in a college. But I think Jane's SO died, they didn't split up. It's been a long time since I read them. But Jane is a restruanteur and amature sleuth. The books stand by themselves but like most series there is character developement. I still have a few left on my bookshelf. The only other series I know of and I only read one is the Kate Donnelly books. I think that's the author. I remember the character's name is Cassidy(either first or last) Boy, CRS is killing me! |
