- Something About Me and My Book:
- "The First Lamp" has a time-travel element, a strong conservation theme and an emphasis on the power of choice. To sum it up I would say: Take one volcanic New Yorker named Sarah, introduce her to a very wise young kahuna named Kalah, add in a few love interests to challenge the heart and you have a story of redemption and faith restored. I have evolved so much since writing this book. And the lasting lesson I have learned is this: When a big story finds you, take excellent notes. "The First Lamp" was a gift to me and those who will read it. I don't really know where it came from. I started writing in my journal two hours a day and the story unfolded in my mind like a movie. That's why the dialogue is so real. My background is in two areas that would, on the surface, discourage me from writing such a metaphysical book.

It will be viewed as heresy by some, but for some strange reason that pleases me. Yesterday's heretics are today's visionaries. As one of the book's characters says: "If you are skeptical about every belief system but the one you grew up with, you are not a skeptic at all. You are a frightened conformist afraid to have a spontaneous relationship with God."
I couldn't have said it better myself.

His latest book, "Curious Lives," is a main source of encouragement for me as a writer. The characters are all humanlike ferrets (very fanciful but deep) and there is a chapter on writer ferrets. One has serious writer's block. Bach's portrayal of the fiery inner critic as a dragon named Cinnamon was brilliantly written and I asked him if he knew this dragon… Continue
