Chris Baca

Biography

Chris Baca is a 34 year old cis-gendered, hetero, white-passing Mexican-American man whose pronouns are he him and his. He lives in the middle of a desert in Colorado, surrounded by other people that are either similarly stuck in a desert like he is, or the type of people that have enough money to ignore the local climate wherever they choose to build their domicile. He is technically married to a woman named Audrey currently with whom he has four children between the ages of five and thirteen. He is well aware of the almost certain fact that he will never have the ability to experience a vacation as an adult with his kids like his dad did with him and his brother when they were young.

Smashwords Interview

What's the story behind your latest book?
My latest book, "Day In & Day Out," really started with me wondering what would happen if a disgruntled call center customer service representative got a call from another universe. I was trying to think how I might react in that situation. The idea itself came over a year before I actually put words on a page. I'd been enthralled with this idea the whole time and it kept coming back to me over and over again until I finally cut out every distraction (for the most part) that kept me from getting down to writing it anyway. I got rid of all of these different things that had recently clouded my vision like cable television, or online multi-player games. After that it was just a matter of time before my thoughts about this one guy, so pent up with frustration, so completely uncaring of his job or if he keeps it, found their way onto (virtual) paper.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
I've always been very D.I.Y. and motivated to tackle problems myself. I've dabbled in scriptwriting, directing, cinematography, generally every other aspect of "Guerilla" filmmaking. The entire time, if we had to solve a problem we built something, or moved something, or taught ourselves how to use various programs from the ground up. I think this stems from my relative lack of patience. I've never wanted to wait for someone else to help me, or to wait for someone to approve of what I was doing, and independent publishing is another extension of how I want to express myself.
