• 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.

Fanfare! number one!

Hi all, I know it has been a while since I have posted anything but I really wanted to share this.
As you may remember I was worried about the size of my book, Darrienia, putting off readers. Well yesterday I reached number one on Amazon.com and am still there now!
I could hardly believe it, and wanted to share it with all you wonderful people who have given advice and support.

Thanks everyone, It has been 4 days now and I am still there in two categories! I may have squealed a little yesterday when I saw in the epic category I was right next to George R R Martin.
It seems unbelievable to be honest, I was thrilled when i was in the top 100, I never thought i'd be here, so a big thank you to everyone who made it happen :)
