His mountain gothic novel\, Corrosion\, has been translated in French and German and was nominated for the Grand Prix de Litterature Policiere\, France’s biggest crime fiction award. His psycho-noir novel\, The Disassembled Man\, has been adapted for the big screen with a filming date set to begin within the next hundred years. He also wrote the screenplay for Bizarre Love Triangle\, which was named semi-finalist at the New York Cinematography Awards and a finalist at the Seattle Film Festival for best short film. \nThe Memory Ward is a haunting Russian doll of a novel about one man’s attempt to discover what’s real and what isn’t …They say it’s always beautiful in Bethlam\, Nevada. No place you’d rather live. The people are friendly\, if a little nosy\, and there’s no crime to speak of. Life is pretty perfect. But postal worker Hank Davies has started to suspect something is off in this idyllic little town. And he’s certain of that when he realizes the letters he’s been delivering are just blank pages. \nTo schedule a book club visit with Jon or any of our authors on Adventures by the Book®: \n\n\nConnect with this Author on Adventures by the Book® \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nErin Bledsoe is a historical novelist who writes books about women who break boundaries.
