An Interview with Chris Bache

Chris Bache, a single father raising three children, stepped back from full-time work to fulfill a lifelong dream by authoring his first book, Children of Earth. He considers this creative journey to have been enriching and sincerely hopes that readers worldwide will connect with it as deeply as he did while bringing it to life. He is profoundly thankful for his children, whose unwavering faith has constantly encouraged him throughout this endeavor. Chris is currently working on the second book of the series.

Tell us the story of your book’s title. Was it easy to find, or did it take forever?

I just wrote the story. The title came later.

How did it feel when you first saw your book cover? Or when you first held your book in your hands?

It was like all my hard work had paid off.

Who/what made you want to write? Was there a particular person, or particular writers/works/art forms that influenced you?

I’ve always wanted to write; I just needed to find the right time.

What other professions have you worked in? What’s something about you that your readers wouldn’t know?

I do labor. That way, I could think about my story and what I was going to write.

What was the most rewarding/meaningful part of publishing your book?

I am learning not to underestimate myself.

If your book had a soundtrack, what are some songs that would be on it?

“Cat People” by David Bowie and Evanescence’s “Lithium.”

What is one thing you hope readers take away from reading your book? How do you envision your perfect reader?

I hope they like it and embrace their kid at heart!

What new writing projects are you currently working on? Or, other projects that are not writing?

I’m working on book two of Children of Earth.

How was working with Atmosphere Press? What would you tell other writers who want to publish?

I enjoyed working with Atmosphere Press and would recommend them to any new writer.

Are you a writer, too? Submit your manuscript to Atmosphere Press.
