• 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.

My short story, Unstrung Quartet, is among those chosen for inclusion in Snowbound, Level Best Books 2017 best New England crime stories anthology. I'm tickled pink to be in such esteemed company. Snowbound will be released at New England Crime Bake, which takes place November 10th – 12th in Boston, Massachusetts. (Yes, I live in San Francisco, but I was raised in Connecticut, and Unstrung Quartet is set in Massachusetts.)
 
Nice one, Pat! Will you attend the release in person? If so, do share photos, anecdotes of inebriated agents, etc...

I'd love to go, but Boston is 3000 miles from home. If I can concoct another reason to go back East, maybe... Still thinking.
