• 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…

I find it strangely disturbing when people specify women/men/black/green/gay/over 40s whatever, in any aspect of our society. This kind of arbitrary line-drawing promotes inequality.

I'm going to start a publishing company that only prints novels by grumpy 63-year-old White men! Hurray, for me!

Seriously, though, imagine the outcry there'd have been had a male author who challenged the publishing industry to handle books written solely by men.

It's just silly. Even when women couldn't publish they found a way to get published and I'm not sure men writing romances as women is all that new of a thing.
