Anything but Ordinary Book Series – Judgement and Perception Have No Value Here
Author of thrilling True Crimes biographies, Political Prisoner 192703 and UGLY HEROES The Price of Unlawful Enforcement (pre-release sales), Marcia Anita Hobbs, aka Marcia BNoose, has just released the highly anticipated Autobiographical Series, Anything But Ordinary – Judgement and Perception Have NO Value Here.
Book 1 is Available now, October 2025! This Series of Books is a Collection full of candid facts, experiences, quotes, and open to interpretation, depending on where the reader's head is at – judgment, education, Hobbs's raw life, and thoughts.
Stories of the heart, mind, and soul, consisting of personal views, knowledge, and life experiences, as well as lighthearted, comedic references, poetry, world facts, and more.
Thought-provoking, inspiring, empowering, engaging, and uplifting, each review of this book has called it a ‘page turner’, ‘hard to put down’, and ‘immersive’.
As a true crime writer and author of biographical literature, Hobbs writes about life's evolution, in its imperfections and perfections, which are shared equally and are entirely relatable. The personal nature of this series is truthful and graphically shares achievements and shortcomings, being mindful not to brag, yet conveying the pride in being who you are and the wonderfulness of being uniquely you. The highs and lows of life are often shared moments, with both positive and negative impacts on those around us. When the hunter talks of killing the lion, it is the hunter’s life that is glorified, though the lion has great achievements of its own unshared, as a hunter only knows his own life and the lion’s role in it.
Extracts from the series demonstrating the power of one voice. “Influence – Activism is right down my alley, and being in the city (a country girl at heart and upbringing) indeed presented plenty of opportunities to be influential just with my presence. To randomly quote an authoritarian figure regarding my whistleblowing, ‘You're influencing people.’ My response, “Good! I hope so.” – Hobbs.
“... a force, a storm, not just some designer. Barbwire Noose isn’t just clothes, it’s a statement, a 'Do NOT Conform' scream against the system, like this series of books. I write, I speak, I dress to empower, to tear down the walls of injustice. My work, my very being, it's about challenging authority, demanding change,” said Hobbs. And with this, you embark and embrace strength, tragedy, turmoil, and candid humour. A must-read for the avid and the occasional reader, these books are relatively brief yet leave you wanting to read on.
With the series of books releasing over the coming months, Book 1 opens the door to Book 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and more. If you want to make noise in the world of human rights, you have to shout. You have to be relentless. You have to be raw. This is precisely who and what Hobbs is. Human Rights in the world today are no game for the faint of heart. These books will inspire you. Where silence is complicity and hesitation is defeat, the moments shared throughout these series empower the reader to be themselves and the best they can be at the same time. No flaw can be overcome, no one is too powerful if you're brave. A series of been there, done that – screaming into the void, wondering if anyone’s listening. The brutal truth is that there is always someone listening, your voice can change the world.
The world doesn’t owe you attention. You earn it. And that means showing up every damn day, even when it’s exhausting, even when it feels like no one cares.
Your personal brand is your megaphone, and this is what makes this book series so powerful and inspiring. Marcia BNoose isn’t just a name. It’s a symbol of defiance, resilience, and relentless pursuit of justice.
A powerhouse who uses her personal brand and fashion line, Barbwire Noose, to amplify voices that are often silenced. She’s not just talking the talk, she’s walking the walk, blending style with substance to challenge governance to be accountable in disability sectors and beyond. That’s the impact these books have, power for change for us, you, and A Better World.
Marcia’s journey is a masterclass we can all learn from. As a human rights activist, Hobbs is not a distant figure in history books, she bleeds for justice every single day, like many others before and after her who have refused to stay silent when the world turns a blind eye. Take Malala Yousafzai. Shot for demanding education for girls, yet she rose from the ashes, louder and fiercer than ever. Or consider Greta Thunberg, who turned climate despair into a global movement with nothing but her voice and a sign. These are not just activists, they are symbols of relentless courage.
Like a warrior, Marcia BNoose embodies this spirit. She fights for the voiceless in Australia’s governance and disability sectors, using every tool at her disposal, from her published works to her fashion line. She’s proof that activism is not confined to protests, it’s a lifestyle, a commitment, a revolution.
