Wong, Dennis

DENNIS WONG was born in Singapore and his family migrated to Australia in 1977. He holds a degree in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, and has worked in Information Technology for the past twenty years. He lives in Sydney Australia with his wife and son. A yearning to find answers to life's basic questions led to Wong's interest in spirituality as early as High School. In University, this grew into a passion for Buddhism and subsequently an interest in Chinese culture, myths and beliefs.  In 1985, a Chinese Crime Novel by Robert Van Gulik captured Dennis Wong's imagination.

Many years later, he completed his own first novel in the same genre, Revenge From Beyond, which he entered for the Proverse Prize in 2010. He is now working on a second novel, also set against the backdrop of the Chinese Han Empire. Wong's writing embodies his interest in life. A person, with high moral ideals, starts his Magistrate's career as an under-dog. He confronts numerous obstacles and gradually resolves them by deductive thought and spiritual principles.

The above description was provided by the writer at the time of publication.

BOOK BY DENNIS WONG PUBLISHED BY PROVERSE HONG KONG

Revenge from Beyond, a finalist  in the Proverse Prize competition, 2010, will be published on 22 November 2011.
