  The Invisible Manual - How It...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  The Invisible Manual is a raw, intimate memoir about growing up autistic without knowing it — and the lifelong consequences of living in a world built for minds unlike your own. Told with honesty and precision, it reveals what autism in women truly looks like behind the mask: constant self-monitoring, sensory overwhelm, people-pleasing, and the crushing exhaustion of pretending to be “normal.” 
  From childhood to adulthood, the anonymous author shares decades of quiet struggle: missed signs dismissed as shyness, friendships that never made sense, invisible social rules, perfectionism that hid the truth, and the profound relief of finally seeing oneself in a late autism diagnosis. 
  This is not a clinical guide — it is the lived experience of high-masking autistic womanhood. A life spent compensating, questioning, and wondering why everything felt harder than it seemed for everyone else. 
  Listeners exploring female autism, late-diagnosed autism, high masking, or the lifelong feeling of being “different” will find this memoir deeply validating. It offers not instructions, but recognition — a mirror for anyone who has spent years searching for one.

  A smuggler running solo 
  Iroth doesn’t deal in live cargo, but the job on Earth’s too good to pass up—purchase a female, escort her to Kirenai Prime, and rake in the credits. Except it was all a setup. Now he's on the hook for attempting to assassinate the crown prince. To avoid being shot on sight, he’s forced to assume the shape of one of the human’s primitive four-legged pets. But as a mysterious ailment threatens to compromise his disguise, he seeks refuge with a breathtaking female who turns out to be as strong as she is sweet, and his plan to escape goes to the dogs. 
  A caregiver with nerves of steel 
  Maise expected to leave the charity auction with a hot date. Instead, she goes home with a wounded Great Dane and a whole lot of questions. When the giant canine transforms into a sultry blue alien with turquoise eyes and asks for her help, she can’t refuse… until she helps him back onto his spaceship, and he won’t let her leave. 
  She’s determined to find an escape, but the more time they spend together, the more she suspects he’s not the alien monster she imagined. But will her strength and kindness be enough to melt the armor around his heart?

  Queensland, Australia, 1936 Sister Claire McAuliffe has been called from Dungarvan, County Waterford, to do God’s work in Jumaaroo, Queensland. Along with four other sisters, she is charged with setting up a Catholic school for the education of the gold rush families. But life between the tropical Australian rainforest and the azure ocean is far from the spectacular paradise it seems. Sister Claire finds life challenging in more ways than she can count - the heat, the terrifying creatures that lurk in every nook and cranny, the crocodiles and snakes - but far more worrying is the constant presence of the much-loved mayor of Jumaaroo, Joseph McGrath. Why does a person so respected give Claire such cause for concern? Is it the cruel way he speaks about the Aboriginal people who live on the mission? A closed community run by a peculiar religious leader who seems to deeply resent the arrival of the nuns? As Claire learns of the manner in which the Bundagulgi are treated, she is forced to act, but nobody wants to upset the status quo, and a meddlesome nun suddenly is a dangerous one.

  It's the summer of '74 . . . Richard Nixon has resigned from office, CB radios are the hot new thing, and in the great state of Texas two cousins hatch a plan to drive $1 million worth of stolen weed to Idaho, where some lunatic is gearing up to jump Snake River Canyon on a rocket-powered motorcycle. But with a vengeful sheriff on their tail and the revered and feared marijuana kingpin of Central Texas out to get his stash back, Chuck and Dean are in for the ride of their lives—if they can make it out alive . . . 
   
   
   
  Scott Von Doviak, longtime pop-culture journalist for The A. V. Club, Film Threat, the Hollywood Reporter, and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, made a splash with his debut novel, Charlesgate Confidential, which Stephen King called "terrific" and "a fun machine . . . the white-knuckle kind." With Lowdown Road, he cements his reputation for pedal-to-the-metal storytelling that also makes you think about just who we are and where our darker roads might lead us.
