Our Dreaming

 

Our Dreaming is a haunting tale of trauma, faith, and the fragile bond between people and the spirit of their country

At the foot of the Blue Mountains, young Arthur Cooke runs from a home torn apart by violence and finds refuge in an unlikely place—a zoo where the animals can speak. Among them is Gali, a wise red kangaroo who teaches him the ancient stories of the Dreamtime.

But the Dreaming is more than myth. As Arthur grows, strange visions, vengeful spirits, and a whispering serpent reveal a world on the edge of collapse. When a supernatural disaster strikes Australia, Arthur and Gali are drawn into a struggle between humankind and the ancient powers of the land.

As secrets surface and loyalties are tested, Arthur must face a terrible truth about his mentor—and about himself.

About the Author

 

From childhood, Nathan Bernacki has had a passion for history and fantasy and he delves deeper when others would turn away. His stories reflect that with roots in the twilight zone between what has happened and what will never happen.

A keen optimist, Nathan likes to write stories about division and silence and how people can overcome that. His first novel, Our Dreaming, is rooted in his desire to see a world where people confront history without fear or vitriol.

Nathan lives in Western Sydney with his family and when he has no chores, he lets his imagination run wild when writing stories.

The true story of one man’s journey from chaos to salvation.

Dead Inside, Born Again is the raw true story of Jarrod “Soulja” Jones — a man shaped by violence, addiction, homelessness, and loss, who stood at the edge of death and chose life. From the streets of Frankston North to heroin addiction, prison yards, and rock bottom, Jarrod chased freedom everywhere except where it could be found. Yet even in chaos, God was present. Through faith, repentance, and redemption, his scars became testimony. This unflinching memoir is proof that no one is beyond grace, and that what was meant for destruction can be transformed into purpose through Christ.

Adapt, Survive and Flourish

 

A guide to building a sustainable future

In an era of escalating complexity and uncertainty, Adapt, Survive and Flourish offers both a compelling story and a practical guide for organisational transformation.

At its heart lies the fictional Tuesday Night Survivors Club — a group of retired professionals who combine their diverse experience with fresh insights from regenerative agriculture, enterprise architecture, and systems thinking.

The book is divided into two parts. The first is a narrative case study in which the club mentors a struggling nutraceutical company while engaging a new generation of university students. Through rich dialogue and evolving relationships, they explore leadership, adaptive capacity, social and human capital, and the development of sustainable practices.

The second part distils their insights into structured practitioner guidelines. These cover areas such as vision and purpose, stakeholder engagement, knowledge management, systems thinking, capability modelling, and visual communication — forming a toolkit for those leading transformation in business, government, and community settings.

Adapt, Survive and Flourish is a powerful invitation to rethink how we lead, learn, and collaborate — and to rediscover the value of lived wisdom, purpose-driven design, and regenerative action

Tears At The Pier

 

 

What we lost at the pier, we carried for a lifetime.

Tears at the Pier is about my family leaving Ceylon aft er the removal of English as one of major languages of instruction during the country’s troubled transition from colonial rule to independence and our migration to Australia. It is also about the growth of nationalism and the pursuit of one language, one culture and one religion policy in favour of the majority Sinhalese, Buddhist population. This policy was the forerunner to the civil war between the Sinhalese and Tamils from 1983 to 2009.

It describes the mass migration of Burghers to other countries, the brain-drain of talent, and subsequent economic loss, which the country has strugg led to recover from. It also describes how the country is now reliant on ‘donor dependency’ loans from China, India and Japan to pay down debt, which has the potential to make the country vulnerable to the loss of sovereignty.

Dedicated to the memory of my Mother and Father.
