Apparently I’m no good at spotting the signs your man’s a cheating liar. So I set off solo on my honeymoon to Hawaii, where I realize I’ve got this life thing down just fine on my own. Friendships and laughter? Yes. Adventures? Absolutely. But relationships? Hell no. Never again. Knox I’m a man of few words.

But the world doesn’t get to see the rest of me. And women don’t seem to mind my gruff exterior—my bed’s always warm. I’m content with life—loving it, even—or so I thought. But when I meet a beautiful pastry chef with a broken heart and a smile that softens me down to my soul, I realize I wasn’t really content at all before her.

Book excerpt: This isn't about Geography, no hills or mountains, bottom of the ocean or ditches it's about the happy and sad things I, a person with Autism, experience. It's so hard to write a book about Autism, so many people have done it and in many different ways. My book, I am hoping, will not teach you how to raise a child or tell you what to do or not do or about the science behind Autism, it will tell you how I see, hear and experience aspects of life, my life. This book holds no answers, no magic cures but it is true real life experiences of me, a person with Autism living in today's world as an adult. I hope it makes you laugh, sigh, smile and maybe at times see a little bit of sadness because that's what I felt writing it, all of those things. There is no point hiding the hard bits but equally there is no point dismissing the good and there is plenty of that!
