• 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
    • Don't take 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.

As advised, I introduce myself

I am a long term writer with loads of experience, including genre sales under my belt. Having recently come out of my shell I did a Masters in Creative Writing, just for the hell of it, and as part of a self-exposure to the outside literate world. I have discovered vast frustration in trying to break into the mainstream market - more novels in the cyber cupboard than I dare to admit - but I'm still trying. I found this site when searching online for agents in order to reach my yearly rejection quota. Anyone even vaguely interested in what I do can find a few self published works on Amazon, recently imposed on the world in the hope of positive feedback.
 
Welcome aboard. I like the random increments of price between your Kindle novels. Keep them guessing, I say!
 
...and you're funny. Senses of humor are always welcome! Nice to meet you!
 
Nice to meet ChrisLewando! I have lived in Somerset for some time, so I opened your novel about Mendip. The poem felt a bit heavy to be honest, but I’ll try a bit of the story.

Nice to meet you. Thanks for looking... I lived in Wells/Shepton/Street for years, went caving on Mendip, played music in the back room at the Hunter's Lodge... but the story is aimed at Young Adults!
 

Ah ok, I see why you put it there! I lived in Glastonbury for a while in the same area :)
