Published a decade ago and reprinted multiple times, the authors'
Changing Gears: How to Take Your Kiwi Business from the Kitchen
Table to the Board Room was the first book that enabled Kiwi-sized
firms to integrate business-school wisdom into their thinking.
Gearing Up: Leading Your Kiwi Business into the Future is a
completely revised and updated primer for owner-manager New Zealand
businesses. The book introduces the business basics that haven't
changed (business models and financial drivers, leadership, team
building, strategy and planning), while exploring how globalisation
and digital transformations are challenging what we know about
doing business. Throughout, the authors focus - through real
examples - on the opportunities and challenges faced by the Kiwi
men and women running our owner-operated businesses.
The Stalker's Tale follows three storylines (two set in
fashionable, contemporary London, a third in 1930's bohemian
Fitzrovia & 1940's post-occupation Paris), representing three
lives, simultaneously estranged, yet entwined in a decades long
tale of Stalking. Successful modern day portrait painter, Bianca
Johnson, is forced to warily defend herself against relentless
stalker, wealthy entrepreneur, Hesketh James (since married, with a
disabled nine year old son), with whom she had a brief affair
twenty-five years earlier. Bianca is determined, meanwhile, to
boldly claim the freedom to live an unorthodox, secretive life with
her frequently absent Italian film director husband, Leonardo
Vescarro, while at the same time conducting a clandestine affair
with her very first love, the London publisher, Stephen Marchant,
to whom she was once engaged to be married. The novel's numerous
complex dramas are set against her fraught, sorrowful relationship
with her estranged mother, the beautiful, turbulent Anya, whose
wartime affair with the Parisian aristocrat, Charles de Courcelles,
had led to the breakdown of her marriage to Bianca's father, the
water-colourist painter, William Johnson, who made his reputation
in the 1930's, followed by his war years in the Middle East. These
three storylines plait together evenly throughout the novel,
creating suspense, as Hesketh's increasingly desperate and erratic
behaviour finally culminates in an incoherent explosion of
violence.
