Thank you to everyone who attended our event 'Love is Strange' which was our 26th event and also part of the Stroud Book Festival

There was a sell-out audience of 150 firework refuseniks at the Cotswold Playhouse on 5 November. And what a warm and responsive audience it was!

Happily, SSS accepts previously published stories so here's a link to our final story of the evening Obituaries by Rebecca Klassen published by Well Read online mag in April this year. A brilliant 947 words -https://issuu.com/wellreadmagazine/docs/april_2023_magazine_final/s/22827354
