James Hi Carlos, thank you for approving my invitation, and also for welcoming me to the Fiction Writing group :D



message 3: by Roger

Roger Cottrell Hi Carlos,
Thanks for the friendship on Goodreads.
Always great to meet someone who (like myself) reads crime and political thrillers AND science fiction and who (like me) writes the stuff.
And thanks for reminding me to get my application into this year's UPC Science Fiction competition in Barcelona. I was shortlisted in 2005 for WAR CHILD that has since been developed (by msyelf) as a graphic novel and feature film script.
ROGER


Collin Reremoana THANK YOU FOR THE ADD ON FRIENDSHIP!COLLIN
