Communications support – share your stories with the world

Sharing regular stories, or advice, with your customers via your website, social media, or e-news letters is a great way to build relationships, spread the word about what you do, and grow your business.

Or you may simply have a story to share.

New novella: The Springs

Food, the planet, love, magic and a great happy ending – all the ingredients of a great read!

Trouble’s brewing for a small rural community who live near the purest waters on Earth, Te Waikoropupu Springs, in Golden Bay, New Zealand. A foreign company plans to buy the sacred waters and cut off all access to them, not to mention their plans for the water. Cue an unlikely group of people with one thing in common – inherited psychic powers. They’re drawn together to create a powerful positive force to fight for the springs.

Charlotte and Mohua Sun

Charlotte Squire plays alongside Mohua Sun members Martine Baanvinger, Richard Gall, and more recently Mark Mansen.  They play a mix of Charlotte’s original songs and some well loved cover songs – folk rock style, with flashes of percussion and heart melting harmonies thrown in.  Sometimes there’s dance, sometimes there’s chill.  Always there’s beauty and honesty in their music.
