• 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.

Hi all
Just thought I'd introduce myself. I was born in the coastal town of Dover in the UK, spending many years in Kent and Cornwall, before moving with my wife and children to Australia. I spent three years writing for a farming newspaper in Western Australia. After retiring in we set off to live in France. A year later we returned and re-settled in Victoria. In 2015 we moved up to the Sunshine Coast in Queensland where my wife spends her time painting. I am, at present, working on my third thriller. My first novel, The Anniversary Man was published in 2017. The Anniversary Man
