• 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…

    • Don't give offence

    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.

Just finished reading a debut novel by Mo, a member of Litopia ...his handle here is @Madz.

Mo had a story here. A story about the eternal problems of growing up, finding your place in a wider world while still nested with family. But also, a story that's a real life scorching hot potato about terrorist grooming online, of teenage girls (and boys) The story is based on true events in the national news and also for him, events closer to home.

Plus Mo is a Maths teacher. He knows teens.

A RECENT REVIEW

By BookBag and it's also been reviewed in The Guardian and The Independent.

I've left a reader's review on Amazon (Hesperus).

Bon courage, mes amis. Hope for all ye who enter here.

And well done, Mo!
