• 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.

So, this is a cool project brought to life by Andy Peloquin, who is fairly well-known in the indie author community.

Essentially, it's a website that lists every author's complete bibliography and gives readers a chance to add them to their "TBR" or "Already Read" piles (with customizable organization).

Authors can also do an interview (10 easy questions) that'll be publicly posted on your profiles.

Right now, it's still in early stages, but there's around 1300 authors added (some indies, some trad). If you're an author and want to be added, you can go to the For Authors page and fill out the super simple form. It's a totally free resource that will be one more way for readers to find you.

Eventually, the goal is to make it a rival to BookBub, Goodreads, and Fantastic Fiction, with a ton of reader- and author-friendly tools.
