Coffee & balloons in the cool of the morning. Not too shabby a start to the day. #5amwritersclub #Bristolballoonfiesta
A rather lovely skyfull of balloons this evening, counted nearly 20 so far. #bristolballoonfiesta
Another chapter done this morning. Now an afternoon of live music (and a few cheeky ciders) at the local park. Living the dream #writerslife #writingcommunity
Only just over halfway through this one, but it's got some good tips in it. Not sure about the title though, gotta know when to walk away. #writingcommunity #writerslife
If you liked the lived-in engineering of The Expanse or the cold scale of late Clarke, JUDGEMENT sits roughly there — a hard-SF thriller where one engineer's refusal to look away pulls a whole habitat's secret into the light. #BookSky #ScienceFiction

To anyone in the UK who saw my post about wanting better weather to be able to sit in the garden and read. My sincere apologies. #amreading #writerslife
...further to my last post. Mission accomplished 💙📚 #amreading #writingcommunity
I'm loving the sunshine this weekend, but this is still my favourite spot in our garden. Quiet, cool and inspiring. #writerslife #writing community
If you're a Gareth L. Powell reader and haven't tried Judgement yet - it's in the same territory. Morally complex characters, real political stakes, a world that rewards attention. Out now. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DZVYYMNS #SciFi #BookSky #SpaceOpera
Found some of my old Photos hopefully creations on a hard drive today. Had fun creating this one. The source photos were all taken by me. #photoshop #fantasy
A weekend in Malaga beckons. We're now starting the near-mythical process of 'packing the case.' All hail the case! #writerslife #writingcommunity
How the heck does a 306-page hard sci-fi novel end up in the rankings for short stories and humour? Aha, perhaps they think my writing's a joke :/ #indieauthor #writingcommunity
It's here! Judgement is out now — available in paperback, hardback and ebook. An orbital habitat. A fanatical cult. A deadly conspiracy. If you read it, I'd love to hear what you think. #SciFi #ScienceFiction #BookSky #NewRelease #DebutAuthor #IndieAuthor www.rikohare.com/novels
No writing today, just a beautifully sunny day at Bristol Harbour side with the grandchildren. #writerslife #visitBristol
No new blogpost today (I'm not entirely sure they're worth the time writing). In the meantime, here's a photo of a Robin that's nesting in our garden. #writerslife #writingcommunity
If you like sci-fi with a slow burn conspiracy and deep, relatable characters then I wrote #Judgement for you. It's set on ELLE4: a vast orbital habitat above a frozen Earth. The world outside is gone. The one inside has secrets of its own. Out April 15. #booksky #amreading #sci-fi
Final proofs approved and the physical formats are looking great. In just over 3 weeks time, this story won't just be mine 🙃 💙📚 #writingcommunity #scifibooks #booksky
Poised and ready for a new week. I'll be focusing on the WIP I think. #writerslife
I do like a nice bookmark, the bottom design is my fave. How about you? #Authors #amreading #amwriting #booklovers #indieauthor #mustread #writerslift #bookworm #asmsg #WritingCommunity
