My second G. W. Shaw book The Conspirators is out on July 20th 2023. It’s been a long journey for this book. I had the original idea for it under lockdown, reading my friend Marek’s book Four Words For Friend. Marek has Polish heritage and became fascinated with how bilingualism affects our neurology and the way we see ourselves and others.
I’m interested in writing about different type of heroes. I’m not really that interested in how well men can fight, or how well they can fire guns. In The Conspirators my hero sees himself as a failure in life. The only power he has is that he speaks several languages fluently. When he finds himself caught up in a lethal international conspiracy, he has to learn how he can use that power to save his own life – and the lives of others around him.
If you’re a book blogger, The Conspirators is currently available on Netgalley.
