• 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

    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.

I'm excited to announce that Joe with an E is out this week, on Thursday, and I heard the other day from my publisher that it's already got over 50 pre-orders - not bad for a small indie-published print-on-demand debut. I think my promotional efforts have been paying off.

I'm doing an online launch on Wednesday evening (7pm UK time) in which I'm being interviewed by fellow author, Sarah Hagger-Holt. If anyone wants to come along, you can get a free ticket via Ticket Tailor - https://buytickets.at/paulrandwriter/1250128

No specific plans for publication day itself, except that it's my day off from school and my wife and I are going out for lunch.

Saturday is Kendal Pride and given the LGBTQ+ themes in Joe with an E, I've booked a stall there and have had some stickers and bookmarks printed to give away. Also hoping I'll make a few sales there.

Then next Sunday, I've got a launch party at a bar in the town where I live, which sounds like it will be attended by quite a few friends, colleagues and strangers.

So wish me luck, and if you want to read more than the 700 words featured on Pop-Ups last July, feel free to buy a copy (see https//beatentrackpublishing.com/joewithane for details of where to buy it, or just try searching 'Joe with an E' online).
