Not Your Typical Book Launch - Full Throttle & Torque: A Wild Ride with Gry Stene

💥 Not your typical book launch. This one’s got soul, spark, and weird wiring.
Storytime, a curious AI, a human muse - and a book that insists you’re not broken, just brilliantly built.
If you’ve ever felt like the odd one out or found magic in the messy middle - come ride with us.

👀Be Seen. Be Heard. Lead with Heart — Your Way.

A bold, rebellious thrivival guide for the quirky, unconventional humans with vision, mission and the desire to make a difference who are ready to lead with unapologetic visibility, voice, and purpose - and the allies who back you.

What’s going down
Join us in Fremantle for the launch of Full Throttle & Torque - An Alien Roadtrip, a thrivival guide for quirky humans navigating the messy middle. Whether you’re neurospicy, a deep feeler, a late bloomer, wired a little differently, or just tired of playing in a world not made for you - this one’s for you.

We’ll have real talk, raw stories, a reading or two, and a conversation between Gry, her human muse Nathan, and her AI co-pilot Gia (yes, the AI who helped bring this book to life). The formal program runs from 2 - 4pm, followed by time to hang out, connect, and have a yarn.

There’s another gig happening at the venue after - you’re welcome to grab tickets and keep the vibes flowing.

This launch is for the misfits, the shape-shifters, the quiet rebels, and the wildly sensitive.
It’s for the humans who’ve felt like aliens in the systems they were born into — and are ready to claim space in their own way. Loud or quiet. Clear or messy. You’re welcome here.
