To Bach, nothing is more offensive than wading through the first hundred pages of a novel and realizing the book has been contrived through the authors imagination. Readers know the real thing when they see it, according to Bach. Fiction is either genuine or it is fantasy. Writing in this vain, Joleen becomes Mr. Bachs imaginary tale of good intensions gone bad, a story of two poorly matched people colliding with the freedom of choice. It is simply an existential look at living with what is rather than what if.
After creating his own company, Bach spent his professional life developing, managing and owning shopping centers in and around Southern California. Retiring at the age of 43, Bach served on the staff of Cal State University Fullerton where he taught courses in economics and international trade. At the age of 60, Bach retired, and in the tradition of Ernest Hemingway, pursued his love of writing and a passion for marlin-fishing off the California coast. This adventurous spirt in Bach has given authenticity to his life and to his work, especially those harrowing moments at sea toward the end of his latest work, Joleen.показать меньше
