Almost Persuaded
Self published in 2019 and printed by The Copy Press, Nelson, Almost Persuaded incorporates some well-researched detail of the drug-culture in New Zealand bound in with an interesting relationship drama.
I have used as chronological landmarks, the Christchurch earthquakes of 2010 / 2011, and the mosque shootings in March 2019.
Matt McAvoy, a UK reviewer had this to say about Almost Persuaded: Ferguson is clearly passionate about his writing, and the causes he makes mention of in it -- with his research labour ethic and his eloquence as an author, he is an extremely credible one.
