The Billionaire’s Club

Rong Liang is popular at Richmond’s Academy, but his music career could never take off by himself.

Gareth Wilson is new to the school, and his father can barely afford to pick him up at the end of the day.

Jenny Summers is reclusive, escaping into the world of music to avoid the world of reality.

And Humphrey Winters just doesn’t want to the there.

When these four strangers finally meet at the After-School Club, they’ll discover that they have more in common than they ever could have imagined, and in the process, their school year will be completely and utterly ruined.

About the Author

Zack Ferguson was born and raised in Perth, Western Australia where he lives with his family. He is an ideas man with a bizarre sense of humour and a love for creativity, music, and potentially voice acting. He is also a drummer, playing since he was six years old, and a part-time mash-up artist on YouTube and Instagram, who spends way too long perfecting his craft. In his early years he enjoyed creating games on a website called Scratch, but eventually realised that he was much more interested in telling the stories he made for them. Zack’s love for storytelling and creative writing grew throughout high school, where he finally found inspiration in his final year to put pen to paper to write his first novel: The Billionaire’s Club.

Charles Washing & Racist Furniture

The history of Charles Washing, his family, and furniture business is fascinating reading. The plight of Charlie’s parents, a full-blood Chinaman and an 18-year-old English Jewess in the 1850’s, escaping their respective homelands and settling in Ararat, Victoria, is difficult to comprehend, but it’s true. Raising 10 kids against the odds, we follow the journey to Creswick, Melbourne and finally Perth where their sons, driven by Charles set up Washing Brothers Furniture Factory. The Factories Act was a desperate attempt by the Government to eradicate Asiatic businesses pressured by Unions and European businessmen. To survive meant risking everything by breaking the law, dodging government inspectors, and even beating the Supreme Court. It was the birth of racist furniture.

What do you get when varying elements of human society have taken diverging paths leaving its tree root to dehydrate while a malicious leading light is attacking the fragile leaf foliage giving humanity’s trunk life threatening hemorrhage? Will an adventurous competing parasite find a sufficient sized bandage to cover all damaged cells? What outcome will prevail?

El Shoetef is captured in the common wealth driven world of the early 2000s where political correctness propagating zealous moralists are using digitised egocentric driven narcissism to justify eradication of independent critical opinions.

And it has already laid interest on others with a growing revengeful hunger. The chase for salvation is on! Will there be a day with no morning…?

Nova Sapiens

Kasih is a robotic child drawn into a project to discover her secrets, and into a war that threatens all humanity, including her own.

The murder of her family by Union troops in Bandung leaves the rebels’ robotics experts, Losana Maraiwai and Wei Dingxiang, with nobody to explain Kasih’s design but Kasih herself.

She is not what anyone expected. In Darwin, Dingxiang suspects a magic trick may explain away her human-like artificial intelligence. In Beijing, Union politician Gabriel da Costa fears an extinction-level technology. Both sides of the war see a weapon that might win it. But Kasih is not strong, fast, or even particularly coordinated. She tries in vain to make sense of her father’s death, and of a world ready to dismantle her and repurpose her technology. And she cannot escape the Union’s plans.

The rebels, including Kasih’s original rescuers, Paul Kanner and Debra Hall, are powerless in the face of a new army of robotic soldiers based on her design. The Union has created monsters, whose cold efficiency unleashes wholesale destruction. They threaten the world’s only chance for freedom, and perhaps its very survival.

Neither Kasih nor Dingxiang understand why Kasih herself is not like them. Kasih must fight back against the fate others have determined for her, and for the world, and Dingxiang needs her ingenuity to solve the very conundrum that her existence represents. For Kasih to save her human friends, she must help them destroy her own kind.

The Limits of Knowledge

 

A METAPHYSICAL STUDY

This is a wide-ranging work which blends continental and scholastic themes, questions regarding universality, individuation, abstraction, together with more contemporary topics such as the relation between time and space, space and matter. It also addresses the question how Darwinism has influenced our understanding of the relation between artistic design and the processes of nature.
