Amazon: Bobby Blanchard Lesbian Gym Teacher
A steamy send-up of the illicit world of 1950s pulp fiction, Bobby Blanchard, Lesbian Gym Teacher tells the sultry story of a former field hockey star, sidelined by injury. When Bobby takes a teaching job at Metamora, an elite girls boarding school, she enters a world of roiling passions, mystery, and maybe even murder!
In this slyly humorous soap-opera, no sapphic cliché is left unmolested as Bobby juggles a feuding field hockey team, a seductive-and married-Art Mistress, and a Headmistress with something to hide, all while teaching her eager charges the five points of perfect posture.
Following the tradition of Strange Sisters, Queer Pulp, and the parodies of Mabel Maney, Bobby Blanchard, Lesbian Gym Teacher celebrates the campy fun of lesbian literature from days gone by.
