Screenshot of FWS newsletter Featured Writer We are delighted to welcome Sadie Maskery as this month’s Featured Writer. Sadie has just had her fourth publication ‘Overheard Love Songs’ published by Alien Buddha Press. It’s a brilliantly original collection in different voices with a sharp ear for dialogue and a no holds barred approach. You will get a good flavour of it from the wry, poignant poem below, ‘The end of the affair’. You can purchase it at Overheard Love Songs: Maskery, Sadie, Buddha, Alien: 9798336837018: Amazon.com: Books Biog Sadie lives in Scotland by the sea.
