you know what's completely absent from the sub-genre of

women who gave up careers in the big city to move to a small town, run a small business, find a new romance, adopt or foster a couple of kids and solve crime? Women who decide/discover at age 40 that yeah, they really do prefer to be romantically involved with women over men.

Why is that?

Hmm. Can't remember where I got the impression. I will have to track down one of the books I am thinking of and investigate.

That would explain a lot.:D

growing up, the main library in my hometown had an entire spinner rack of L R Hubbard. ( multiple copies of his work). I wondered how that had to happen. It wasn't a scientology heavy town. Maybe a crate of em got mis-shipped to that library, I'll never know.

All mt local libraries had sets of his books as well. I suspect that so few people actually request specific books or authors that it is very easy for a couple of people asking for an author to influence the discretionary spending at a local branch.
