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

A friend and well-respected literary agent, David Miller, has died: David Miller dies | The Bookseller

I don't know if anyone here knew David (Rogers, Coleridge & White), but he was the one who fanned the flames and made me want to impress him with my writing. He will be sorely missed.

My fondest memory of him was the way he (a complete stranger) stepped in to prevent my ex-husband from following me home. It inspired my short story: Next Train https://www.amazon.co.uk/Other-Side-Here-collection-stories-ebook/dp/B00YCYDI18/ref=sr_1_8_twi_kin_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1483387142&sr=8-8&keywords=shuna
