Did I do enough work to have a plate of chocolate Hobnobs? You may as well say yes, because I'm having them regardless 😁

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 😁

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? 😁😁😁

Anyone looking to use their October audible credits? I'm Fine by Richard Hall is still sitting nicely in the top LGBTQ biography section, and it makes great listening 😁 Also available on all other audiobook platforms and ebook and hardback too

PSA after a bumpy few days How someone treats you is a reflection of THEM, not you. And almost as importantly, when someone belittles you, turns their back on you, or in anyway shows you who they really are, believe them!

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 was talking to someone about reaction responses, fight, flight, freeze, fawn. And they said "freeze, flight, flop, friend, fight". I've not heard this version before, and I'm curious who has? And what people's thoughts are on it?

The way @adammacqueen.bsky.social weaves real life events with fiction in such a masterful way leavee breathless, and with such reverence for gay history, one character speaks Polari. A must read, and I can't wait to pick up book two in the series.

You know you swear too much when your autocorrect keeps changing 'duck' to 'fuck'. Yes I did send a text saying I was going out for "steak and fuck fat chips". Let's hope they're not too crispy, or that could hurt.

Yes I use my second checked bag as a bookcase. (Get it? Suitcase/bookcase) This is the dangerous side of visiting so many bookshops on this trip. Now the agony of deciding which to read first when I finally get home. Any suggestions?
