Summary

SUMMARY: Author Robin Flinchum visits The Churn to talk about her latest book, "The Redemption of Julia Bulette: Murder, Myth and the Hunt for a Serial Killer in Early Virginia City." Robin explains how justice came forth after the crime, the ongoing stigma that sex workers face despite being productive members of society, and another reason to hate Rush Limbaugh. Also, Paul explains the Comstock Lode, Scoop Mail erupts in Kanchō, and a Scoopardy.

Robin Flinchum's book tour for "The Redemption of Julia Bulette: Murder, Myth and the Hunt for a Serial Killer in Early Virginia City" will be at the Nevada State Museum in Las Vegas on May 21 and the Pahrump Valley Museum on May 30. You can purchase Robin's book from The Writer's Block in Las Vegas, at bookshop.org, and direct from Arcadia Press at https://www.arcadiapublishing.com/products/the-redemption-of-julia-bulette-9781467171748/. Robin's other book, "Red Light Women of Death Valley," is also available from both online sources.
