I chose three of my favourite stories from SSS's history to be read by their authors on Resound Radio. These are now, or will soon be, available online

Saturday 15 April
Martin Spice reads 'Le Fromager' (first read at SSS in April 2015)

Friday 21 April
Katherine Hunter reads 'Holding On' (from SSS in May 2014)

Saturday 22 April
Rachel Levay reads 'I Thought I was a Lion' (from SSS in May 2012)

I also read my non-SSS story 'Da'.

They are, or will soon be, featured for your listening pleasure here on the SVA's Resound Radio website (NB not all available yet!).
