Search Tips
In order to get more accurate results, our search has the following Google-Type search functionality:
+
If you use '+' in front of a word, then that word will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry +Potter will return results with the word 'Potter'.
-
If you use '-' in front of a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry -Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
AND
If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
OR
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.
ex: Harry OR Potter will return results with just 'Harry', results with just 'Potter' and results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
NOT
If you use 'NOT' before a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry NOT Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
""
Placing '""' around words will perform a phrase search. The search results will contain those words in that order.
ex: "Harry Potter" will return any results with 'Harry Potter' in them, but not 'Potter Harry'.
*
Using '*' in a word will perform a wildcard search. The '*' signifies any number of characters. Searches can not start with a wildcard.
ex: Pot*er will return results with words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er'. In this case, 'Potter' will be a match.

Hilarious and candid, this is Em Rusciano’s coming-of-middle-age story. Consider yourself warned: she’s neurodivergent and hormonal AF.
Em Rusciano has some stories to tell! In the space of a few short years, she quit breakfast radio, birthed her third child and staged a sold-out tour across the country – all before being hurled headfirst into the existential crisis of lockdowns. She felt everything at full volume: the burnout, the joy, the rage ... and a deeply inconvenient urge to get into craft.
Then came the missing puzzle pieces: ADHD and Autism. Two diagnoses that suddenly made everything – her entire life – click into place.
In this book, Em unpacks what it means to exist in a world that was never built for you, raising three gloriously neurodivergent kids while redefining her own limits. From her landmark National Press Club address to her game-changing role in the 2023 ADHD Senate inquiry, Em isn’t just sharing her story: she’s challenging the status quo and demanding change.
Laugh-out-loud funny and filled with righteous rage, Blood, Sweat and Glitter is a guide to being a neurodivergent, perimenopausal, middle-aged rock star in a world that prefers ‘women of a certain age’ to go off quietly into the sunset. Strap in – it’s a hell of a ride.
