Carrie and I are on summer hiatus but we are leaning into award winners!  We have been lucky enough to interview many acclaimed authors who have won awards in their genres.  So we are replaying some of these past episodes.  First up is Erin Flanagan who was on the show in 2022.  Her debut novel Deer Season won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel.  The Mystery Writers of America gives the Edgar Award to recognize the best in fiction, non-fiction, and television writing.  Erin has gone on to write 2 more thrillers.  Blackout had just been published when we spoke to her.     You can follow Erin Flanagan on Instagram @erinlflanagan or at her website; www.erinflanagan.net For shownotes for any episode at our website www.perksofbeingabooklover.com. Follow us on Instagram @perksofbeingabookloverpod and on FB Perks of Being a BookLover   In this week’s episode, we chat with Erin Flanagan, an author whose debut novel Deer Season won a 2022 Edgar Award for Best First Novel; her most recent book that published this past summer is a thriller called Blackout. Blackout revolves around a sociology professor named Maris who begins having blackouts despite the fact that she gave up drinking seven months before and then discovers other women in her community are experiencing the same thing. It’s a bit of a #metoo novel with some speculative science and some vodka thrown in. In addition to being an award-winning writer, Erin is also a creative writing professor at Wright State University in Ohio.   Books Mentioned in this Episode: 1- Deer Season by Erin Flanagan 2- Blackout by Erin Flanagan 3- In Defense of Witches: The Legacy of the Witch Hunts and Why Women Are Still on Trial by Mona Chollet 4- Shit Cassandra Saw by Gwen Kirby 5- The Damage by Caitlin Wahrer 6- They Never Learn by Layne Fargo 7- The Case of the Missing Marquess (Enola Holmes #1) by Nancy Springer 8- The Case of the Left-Handed Lady (Enola Holmes #2) by Nancy Springer Movie Mentioned 1- Enola Holmes - 2020 (Netflix) TV series mentioned: 1- Severance - 2022 (Apple +)
