Meet Christopher Lockwood
Christopher Lockwood’s writing is his artistic outlet. For years his writing was primarily in conjunction with his professional career as Executive Director of the Maine Municipal Association (1979 – 2015). In 2013, he published The Tennis Ball Trees, a whimsical children’s book about his chocolate Labrador Retriever’s love of tennis balls. Upon his retirement in 2015, Lockwood decided to pursue his writing on a part-time basis. His next book, Why the Cane?, was completed in early 2019. The book is a memoir relating his personal story of regaining a level of activity he thought would not be possible after a devastating accident. “This thoughtful recollection about an accident should help readers facing similar challenges.” —-Kirkus Reviews
