Are you surviving the heatwave? I find that a frozen squid 🦑 placed in one’s pajama trousers makes for a cool, comfortable night.
Summertime calls for a summer watch, so here’s my Venezianico ‘Nereide Verdigris’, which coincidentally matches my pool. #Dubai #AuthorsofBluesky #AmWriting

In two weeks, Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine will have lasted as long as the entire World War I.
I have been emailed today by two authors who have been contacted by a scammer fraudulently claiming to be me. Let me state that if you receive an email from the address: alexshaw.thrillerwriter@gmail.com This is not me.

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.
I’ve just bumped into literary superstar, and great chap, Peter James, on Worthing Pier.
🚨 Scam alert: Received a lovely email from writer @alexshaw.bsky.social praising "The Planet Factory". I replied—friendly chat, no red flags… … until I got the exact same message, word-for-word, from author Daniel Palmer. Pretty sure neither Shaw nor Palmer are behind this pen! Might be this scam:
If a Famous Author Calls, Hang Up: Anatomy of an Impersonation Scam - Writer Beware
You open your email program one morning. The usual work stuff. Some spam (annoying that it got past your filters!). A couple of newsletters (maybe later). You sip your coffee, scroll down. Wait. What’...

Just to confirm, this was not me. I’ve also had reports from LinkedIn and Instagram of scammers impersonating me. Impersonation was once considered a form of flattery, this however is not. Please note, I’m not in the habit of emailing authors whom I do not personally know. @thecwa.bsky.social
