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.

I had to look up her numbers. She only published 66 novels, and Wiki was the easiest to get total sales from, and they say a total of more than 2 billion copies sold. If that is correct, she's averaged 30 million copies per book. Wow. Total wow.William Shakespeare and Agatha Christie have sold more.
Indicates slow but sure takes the race. It is the loyal readership over generations that seems to have added up to that figure. I do remember reading something by her with a character named Daisy? It was where I learned about lurchers and their remarkable ability to steal food. I will say of all the "easy-reading-women's-book-authors" that I have read, I remember her book the most.I had to look up her numbers.

(possibly the most Irish response ever)Yeah, but come on. Ask yourself this question.
Is she happy?
Ah, but writing us a bug that gnaws at you until you do it, and watching life go by will only inspire more stories.I have to ask myself, if I had sold that many books, would I not just want to buy an island somewhere warm and lie by the sea.
Or a palazzo with a landing stage on the Grand Canal where I could sink the odd Aperol spritz and watch life going by...
