Two unforgettable classics from the golden age of pulp fiction! Before there was gay fiction exhibited proudly and openly on the shelves, there was the world of Paula Christian<\/a>. In her novels, women experience sex, romance, realtionships, experimentation, denial, courage, and ultimately, a richer understanding of themselves. Now, in these two classic novels, two very different women explore their sexuality and search for love on their own terms. ‘Amanda’: Evelyn Rawlins is very much her own woman, with a New York City apartment, an active social life, sex when she wants it, and a career writing lesbian novels under an assumed name. Just because she’s straight doesn’t mean she can’t write about gay life. After all, she has plenty of gay friends. And when young housewife and aspiring novelist Amanda Richardson writes to Ev, asking for help on her own novel, well why not help the girl out? Then Amanda – seductive, charming, cunning Amanda – comes to stay for ten days and turns Evelyn’s well-ordered life inside out… ‘The Other Side of Desire’: Carrie Richardson is one of the ‘invisible women’ of suburban New York, spending her days in a mind-numbing routine of childcare and household duties, deferring to her husband’s wishes and conforming to the norms of the hypocritical country club set. What no-one knows is how restless Carrie feels, trying to fit in and forget her secret past. But then along comes free-spirited, wild, rebellious Kim, and the tight cover Carrie has kept on her heart, her soul, and her sexuality is about to blow sky high…<\/p>\n\n
