An award winning LGBTQ venue talking about my book 😁😁😁
Gay pubs and history are core to my experience of coming out. To be supported by amazing businesses within the community means the world to me ❤️

I just finished this. Ouchy 😭

"A love story" is so misleading and so accurate at the same time.

This one will stay with me for a while. I need more lesbian history books. Give me recommendations please 😁

I've just booked a podcast appearance for almost a year's time!
I feel organised for the first time in months 😂

Hahaha, that would be exciting if still delicious 😋

Is there anything more exciting than discussing with your publisher which bookshops to do signings at?
Other than space travel, or swimming with dolphins, or free chocolate, but, for an author? Is there?

I'm Fine by Richard Hall is still sitting nicely in the top LGBTQ biography section, and it makes great listening 😁

The moment you realize your writing career is actually doing social media, and not having time to write anymore

I can write well, but turns out speaking is much harder

Books let us step into other worlds. I love that because it means I can step out of wherever I am

I got stuck in my feelings last night, but then the void came to comfort me.

Something about warm foot-beans calms my soul.

Richard Hall @richardhwrote.bsky.social · 22d

Omg. I hadn't thought of that. That's exactly why it creeps me out

Thank you very much 🍾🎉🍾🎉

I'm using it as an excuse to open something with alcohol in it 🤣

A month ago @bertsbooks.bsky.social helped me launch my book.

I'm Fine, by Richard Hall, a true story of trust, betrayal and criminal exploitation.

My book is 1 month old, but if you're going to celebrate, beware of putting candles in it 😀

This book crashed my heart. Claire Lynch has taken the horrors of how women were treated in courts, and woven them into a truly moving story

I went straight to #35 on Audible for LGBTQ biographies.
If you fancy a little gay history listening, get my audiobook book on all good platforms
