• 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…

Hi all, I ought to say that I was a member of Litopia a few years ago (by the username of 42) but gave up on writing following lots of rejections and a nasty illness. The book I'm to have published (by Strand Publishing) is a novella called Rhubarb and Aliens, and is the first of a series of futuristic novellas that feature semi-political stuff like global warming.
 
Glad you have gotten over your illness and back to writing. Good luck with Rhubarb and Aliens! Futuristic with semi-political elements sound intriguing.
