• 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.

Please join me in congratulating Leonora...

Nicest thing that happened to me today was the arrival of this damnably good-looking book by Litopian Leonora Nattrass :)

BLACK DROP is published by Viper, an imprint of Serpent’s Tail, which is part of the highly-regarded Profile Books here in London, it is a sumptuous production… as you can see :)

There are pages of fabulous endorsements, I'll just quote two:

‘A thrilling slice of pitch-dark historical fiction, led by a hugely engaging narrator’ - EMMA STONEX

‘A gripping, intricate story of Georgian high politics and low life’ - W.C. RYAN
I'm so happy that Litopia played a part in the birth of this wonderful book... and in the launch of an exciting new writing voice :) BLACK DROP is coming on holiday with me :) Buy BLACK DROP here...

Thanks for all your good wishes. Litopia was really key for me in finding out what was wrong with the book and putting it right. For instance, @AgentPete told me to delete the first two chapters which turned out to be brilliant advice and also very satisfying!!!
 
Ooh I love a good bit of historical fiction. Well done and I shall be acquiring a copy.
