• 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…

Yesterday, the print version of my newest child took its first breaths. It's recommended for YA 16 and older, and is now available on Amazon US, soon also on B&N and Amazon UK, and iBooks, etc. It begins, "D'you believe in Bigfoot, Papa?"
It's set in the Oregon Cascades in 1967 in a small, remnant logging town.

Congratulations Richard! Intruiging first sentence and nice looking cover.

Checked it out on Amazon and it seems to be getting good reviews too!
 
Yes, added congratulations, Richard :D

Hope the forthcoming TWIN PEAKS will spike an interest in this area/topic... Might be good for you...

Congratulations! 'Oregon Cascades' - what a beautifully evocative name.
 
And a quick search of Google images suggests that the reality of the Cascades is even more lovely than the imagination suggested....what fantastic country.
