And on February 14, Ric released his second book Pupy Love which is a story of tragic loss and how Ric worked through his grief, finding inner strength, resilience, and hope for his and his son’s future.
It is the story of the steps he took to find peace and acceptance while managing the loss of a soul mate, best friend, wife and mother of his son.

Hide AdRic, 37, said: “My autobiography tells the story of romance, our lives, but also my grief journey and stepping into lockdown as a single parent.
"Holding this book in my arms will do wonders for my heart and soul in memory of Jade.
"I have also created a Facebook page Jade Hart Pupy Love, which will share the journey of the book and also allow readers to engage with their own thoughts and feelings on the book and Jade.

Ric has also donated copies to Misterton Library and Misterton Primary School and Doncaster Council is to provide a copy of the book for each of its staffed libraries, and a copy for its school library service.
