Roger Cottrell Hi Matt,
Thanks for the friendship on Goodreads.
Your stuff looks pretty interesting - I'm a thriller writer myself and intend to check it out.
Interestingly, I went to University of Exeter and lived at various stages of my stay there in Pennsylvania Avenue, near the Buller Statue, off Topsham Road and in Crediton.
I also write film screenplays.
Talk soon
ROGER
