• 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.

Good to be back....

Hi everyone - It's good to see some familiar names and faces! For those of you I don't know, I look forward to making some new writing friends.

I write MG fiction as well as short stories for adults and children

I live in Antigua in the West Indies (hence the name!) having left the UK in 2004 with my American husband, bound for a new life in paradise. It's amazing what happens when you shake it up and take a risk!
