Author Bio

  Samuel Joseph Bass was born in Long Island, NY on August 22, 1979. He was the first child of Elizabeth Vining and Howard Bass, his mother a model with Eileen Ford and his Father was an ex-family New York lawyer who also fathered his younger brother. Even though he was never in school past sixth grade, Bass has become a renaissance man after a long passionate and never-ending thirst for reading and knowledge. Bass has lived in six US states and is an avid world traveler from hitchhiking on sailboats to make it to most of the worldly destinations; he studied many different cultures, history, sciences, cooking, and ways of interpreting society while seeking true freedoms in life. Writing poetry and short stories from the young age of eleven, his craze for the arts was curtailed when he had to take the heavy burden of struggling to survive all alone financially and physically after being hit head on by a two ton semi-truck at twenty one years old. When he returned to California in February of 2008 from hitchhiking on sailboats he had gained a renewed passion for writing fiction and poetry. Later in 2011 after moving to central Oregon where he currently resides, he continued his schooling in college majoring in English at UO and COCC.
