Scam of the day. East London Book Club of Wanstead had probably never heard of me until I inquired with one of their admins to verify that this email was not really from them. Just as well, because as my Amazon author bio states, I live "in Mimico on the shores of Lake Ontario". I would have no means of affording a flight on or before 23rd March to "drop in" on a book club meetup anywhere. #WriterBeware #scam

One of the latest scam emails of its kind specifically claims to be from Sonja Heck. In my case it offered special feature treatment for "The Gift-Knight's Quest". Which amused me slightly, because that book's been permanently delisted from sale. Apropos, you're free to read the definitive full rewrite called "The Last Gift-Knight" which is due for an April release. I have enclosed the scam email for educational purposes. #scam #WriterBeware #WritingCommunity
