      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      Craig Lock was born in South Africa and has been living in Gisborne NZ, his ex-wife's former home town for the last six years. For the last few years he has been writing full-time, rather prolifically since December 1993: a few articles for magazines, but mostly books. To date he has had six books published in the UK. All are on widely different subjects from self development to travel (humour), to novels on South Africa. Craig has also written a number of other works on the mind and other subjects, as well as a manuscript on sports psychology.

      Craig is presently working on a number of new projects. He loves living in Gisborne NZ and finds the beauty and tranquillity here very inspirational to writing. Craig ran a successful course in creative writing at the local polytechnic and is doing some other teaching. He has a degree in psychology and has been intensely studying human behaviour for the last few years. He is particularly interested in self development and using the immense power of the mind to help make all our dreams come true. This is the reason for offering this new course to the local community.

      DEDICATION

      This book is dedicated to my dear ex-wife Marie and to my wonderful boys Gareth and Sean. Thanks Marie for all the help and support in enabling me to find my niche in life. To the twins, thanks guys for being my pride and joy and for bringing me so much happiness. This work is also dedicated to my dear loving parents, Ray and Hazel, who have given me so much in life. And dearest mom your creative spirit lives on.

      Also to all creative people throughout the world. All of you people have added something to this wonderful world of ours by making it better, no, not only better...but so much more beautiful through the sharing of your creative spirits...because I believe the essence of great art is communication - sharing your heart and touching other people.

      I hope to do this in this book by helping stir the creative spirit deep within your heart.

      Craig (originally written in 1995 and now many years later in the year 2009 the feelings are stronger than ever)

      INTRODUCTION

      I want to write a book...but are you sure you want to be a writer? You may think it sounds good and romantic - but I've found over here in provincial New Zealand that the very down to-earth Kiwis (New Zealanders) are not impressed one bit. Even back in my homeland, South Africa, no-one believed what I was saying for years - until they had my first book in their hands.

      Firstly, a word of warning...

      Writing is hard lonely work in probably the world's most solitary occupation. In fact, writing books usually doesn't make one rich - like all creative endeavours. There are only one or two Wilbur Smith's, James Michener's, Frederick Forsyths and Jefferey Archer's around. Most other writers barely scrape a living. Like me! The situation is far worse in a small country like New Zealand, where the average first print run is only 2000-3000 copies and even their most famous writers earn peanuts.

      Because of it's very small population, I took a broader world view with my work and went for the UK market (population 60 million, as opposed to the 4 million Kiwis). It was very much harder and took a lot longer time - 2 1/2 to 3 years from the time that I finished my first book How to Survive the Nineties. Never mind, in the end it's all worth it. At least I hope so!

      It's a great feeling to hold YOUR book in
