Craig's first book, was published in 1994 and draws on his interest in psychology and human behaviour. It covers goalsetting, motivation, attitude, stress and other subjects.

The author refers to the book as "A collection of writings on various subjects to help every man or woman survive in a rapidly changing, uncertain world, after the easy living and prosperity of the seventies and eighties, (especially for me living in South Africa under apartheid)."

THE END OF THE LINE is a short novel set in South Africa, which is "based on fact in the dark days of grand apartheid, but with the rich promise and hope that a new South Africa can bring."

"The story has a main theme of hope and reconciliation and the message is a universal one- to put the past behind you, but never to forget it. To use the lessons of history to make a better future.

Other messages in the book are respect, tolerance towards other peoples, spiritual reconciliation and reaching out to everyone."

"This book is dedicated to the diverse peoples of South Africa who one day will live in harmony, peace and prosperity in that beautiful country, in spite of their great differences and the divisions of the past," writes Mr Lock in his note to the book.

The next book to be published is a travelogue in the Bill Bryson vein entitled 'HERE, THERE, AND EVERYWHERE'. It describes his adventures while travelling around Europe over twenty years ago.

When he found that his books were not getting into the bookshops as quickly as he would have liked, Mr Lock also got involved in the promotional work. "I now actually prefer the marketing of the books to writing them. It's fun meeting people, as well as a change from the routine of writing."

"I went to South Africa for six weeks, because my father was seriously ill and while there I think I may have found a new literary agent (who is also Wilbur Smith's agent), as well as organising a distributor who is arranging distribution of my books in South Africa."

Mr Lock misses his beloved South Africa, but has enjoyed living in Gisborne since moving here six years ago with his wife, who was originally from Gisborne. "The peacefulness and tranquility here has been great for writing - when we had a house at Makorori beach I found that especially inspirational.

"If anyone is interested in writing, I could perhaps help them get started. I believe everyone has got a story in them ...to tell sometime, somewhere."

A tale of our first four years in a New Zealand provincial town, with many humorous incidents. Story of my life!

My second novel on South Africa . Moving tales of a number of characters from diverse South African life. A good and realistic plot, which builds up to a dramatic climax at the time of the Democratic Election in 1994.

A collection of quotations which have inspired me in my quest, together with many personal anecdotes.

A moving novel on Angola as seen through the eyes of a hospital orderly during the war. There is also a true story of a migrant miner in South Africa which blends into the story. I feel this is my best novel.
