• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Hey, stalkers welcome! That's how desperate wannabe authors are for fans :-D Thank you for liking the book-to-be. I am really passionate about it. Well, it's 20 years of my life in there. I hope it won't take that long for the book to get published. OMG!

I hope not. I wish you the best. It looks like you are already pretty advanced. I´m sure you´ll get there soon.
 
Hi Patricia, thank you for the message. I am taking heart from what you wrote :) Hopefully it won't be too long a journey, but patience is a virtue, right? Yes, I have completed the work. It's on www.catchinginfinity.com. Now waiting for the right agent to work with me. x
I read about the book - what a fabulous idea. I have to believe it will soon be in the bookstores

Warm welcome to you. Love your mix of ideas in 'Catching Infinity'. Is it a little like 'The Time Traveller's Wife'?
Thank you! Unfortunately, Catching Infinity started off as an academic work (my PhD from 20+ years ago) and the huge challenge is turning it into a work of fiction......and hopefully as readable as The Time Traveller's Wife. Fingers crossed!

Love the Time Travellers Wifi. great book, sure your's will be as successful...sorry 'Wife', got internet issues on the brain.
What a great title, The Time Traveller's WIFI. You're giving me ideas. :-D Thanks re Catching Infinity. I have a great editor who tells me that my book stands a very good chance of winning The Bad Sex Award.

Hello Litopians, I'm Jacqueline. I'm finding it tough starting out as a novelist though I've published quite a few non-fiction books. So I'm hanging out here for motivation (love Fanfares!) and see what everybody is doing. It's also a lonely life being a writer. See you around, x

Welcome Jacqueline! Good luck with your fiction writing and see you around the Colony.
