A
HANDBOOK FOR SURVIVAL IN THE NINETIES
(AS
WELL AS THE NEW CENTURY):
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.
An introductory look
at the concepts of success, motivation, attitude, goal setting
and stress.
Shows how to make "heaps" of MONEY (if that's what you really want
out of life) with the
right mindset and by following your passions - the deepest desires
of the heart.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Written in a simple
style to help the 'every person’ make the most of themselves
and
their lives easier. It takes an introductory look at what motivates
us and how to
set goals...to find our true purpose for being on this planet. Also
how to handle the
stresses life throws at us. I found it very helpful for my own life.”
- Birgitta, Minerva Press (UK)
THE
END OF THE LINE
This is Craig Lock's first novel.
A short novel set in "the beloved country".
A passionate and heartbreaking tale of South Africa, a true story
of the bad old days,
but with the hope of the new.

Review of:THE END OF THE
LINE
“The End Of The
Line” could be described as a “faction”, a fiction
with a serious factual
grounding. It is simple, and therefore moving. It gives yet another
highly individual portrait
of that troubled land, and it does so through a believable and sustained
narrative form.”
ANGOLAN
DAWN
True tale of an Angolan migrant
miner who goes to 'e'Goli', the city of gold in South Africa.
Also a realistic portrayal of the Angolan conflict in "darkest Africa"
through the eyes of a
hospital orderly. A moving and realistic novel about the evil and
destructiveness of war,
as well as the inherent goodness within every human spirit.
QUOTE
UNQUOTE
A collection of quotations
which have motivated and inspired Craig Lock in his
personal quest to find his niche in life, to become a professional
writer. Also with many
personal anecdotes (and "whacky" humor) from the author.
HERE,
THERE AND EVERYWHERE
Craig Lock is an extensive
world traveler and failed professional emigrater who has spent
most of his life's savings on airfares. He is still 'sliding down
the razor blade of life',
stuck on a deserted (other than a few brilliant rugby players) island
at the bottom
of the world near Antarctica, where he is 'trying to throw a double
six' to get off and
into the real world - but he doesn't know where!
In the style of Bill
Bryson,Here, There, and Everywhere
tells tales of his hilarious
hair-raising adventures in his younger years through 'Grate' Britain
and the Continent.
DROPPED
OUT IN GODZONE
A new immigrant's impressions
of life in provincial New Zealand (after coming from a
large city in South Africa) ... and there were one or two rather
funny adventures,
nay escapades in "Sleepy Hollow" from time to time.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Review of: DROPPED OUT IN GODZONE
“Dropped Out In
Godzone” is an original and agreeable piece of work. The picture
it
gives of New Zealand - to one who has never been there - a ring
of complete authenticity.
The feeling of the country is relaxed, and perhaps rather unstimulating,
but we get an
overall impression from the writer that he views his time there
with some affection,
and above all with tolerance.”
This book breathes a
natural humor and kindliness, which is what gives it the
individual character that is so appealing. Autobiography has a particular
value as
a literary form. It is a shared kind of writing and I’ll continue
to bang the drum.
It is unusual to encounter two such different manuscripts
from the same author.
Both (The End of the Line is the other book)
have quality and share an
easy and assured writing style that is a pleasure to read.
Both of these short books are of first rate quality.”
THE
NEW RAINBOW
A moving tale of the diverse
peoples of South Africa, which is based on fact.
Like Alan Paton, Craig Lock reaches to the heart of his troubled
"beloved country".
In this new novel Lock, perceptively and with an understanding of
the historical
elements, writes of the situation as it was, as it is, and as perhaps
one day it will be,
in the New South Africa.
