• 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…

Hello - if anyone has a spare moment and fancies a chew at the opening of a Viking-period crime novel, I've just posted this to the Writers Forum - https://colony.litopia.com/threads/viking-crime-fiction-opening-does-this-engage.10796/ - looking for Beta readers. Also - if you do like it, I'd love to know who 'you' are - what you normally read. Because some folk suggested this might be YA fiction, and really I don't think I want it to be, although if YA folk wanted to read it, fine. But not exclusively. thanks - Jane
