• 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…

Submitted sequel to Dream Guy and editor has said "Hell, yes, let's publish, bring on Number 3".

Phew. I was worried because DG was quite light-hearted YA fantasy, but Heirs of Hypnos is much darker, with torture scenes, suicide bomber and public execution.

Now, gearing up on the planning and discovery writing for Number 3.
 
Wow! Congratulations! That totally deserves a jig around the kitchen (and that's just by me, a fellow Litopian. :D)

Sequel sounds dark and awesome!

Good luck with Number 3. Love the stage where you can piece together the plot like a jigsaw. :)
 
Thank you all - I've heard in the past that for those of us who aren't debut breakthrough writers, it takes 7-8 books to establish readership and really see your profile developing....hoping that this is true;).
