• 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.

    You can dismiss this notice by clicking the "x" box

Thanks for the warm welcome

I have been writing for 3 years. My first novel, The Jaguar (set in Mexico) was published by Andrews UK in September 2015. The second, Leopard Skies (set in Tanzania) was published by them this August. Together these books launch a series known as Tailwind Adventures. My inspiration comes from regular overseas expeditions and the works of Haruki Murakami.

My third novel, Feather, a ghost story set in Scotland, is complete in draft form, but not yet submitted. As my first two novels are published as ebooks and print-on-demand, I am keen to take the next step and get onto bookshop shelves. I wonder if there are others on this site who are in a similar position?

I am currently writing a thriller, partly set in China, entitled How it Ends.

Hi Grant! Have fun with writing life. Interesting, isn't it? :) ;):D:rolleyes::)

Here's my second effort, Leopard Skies. Not sure if this is what you're supposed to do here or who I am talking to (I'm the world's lowest tech person) but I'd be grateful for any feedback, however harsh. Apologies if this is poor form - very happy to take an interest in others.
