Interview with Aleah Bass, author of The Extraordinary Comeback | Writers Republic LLC
- last year
ABOUT THE BOOK
Let me start off by saying I never thought I would see the day that my writing would actually be published and displayed. I wrote this book for my senior writing project class my senior year of college. It was a two semester class that included a lot of editing and adding to the book throughout it all with the help of my professor and classmates through Zoom since we were online my whole senior year. Personally, I love reading romance novels or dramas. My inspiration for this piece was to make it seem like a lifetime movie. I wanted the reader to really feel as though they are in the main character's shoes. While coming up with that, I thought of the idea of making up a fictional character and have them encounter real life events and ran with it. Adding to that, I made this character face hard situations that made her get to her goal of getting into her dream college. Going off of that, Cass (A totally made up character) had to face addiction, loss, heartbreak and life changing moments that altered her life forever. She comes up on top and makes her come back through self-intervention, recovery, and therapy. It's never too late to get to your dream destination and that is exactly what I wanted my character to portray.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hello! My name is Aleah Bass. I am from South River, New Jersey, where I still currently live. My passion for writing started around my sophomore year of high school when I started taking honors courses and got to write more poems and in depth stories where I got to free write and just let my thoughts flow. English/ language arts has always been my strong suit and favorite subject because you can express yourself and there is no right or wrong because it's how you choose to tell your story. My family has always supported my love for writing and encouraged me to pursue it in college. Along with writing, I always loved working with kids. With that being said, I have a received a bachelors degree in creative writing from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 2021 where I was also in the QUEST program as a secondary and special ed major. I was also on the basketball team and in the sorority Delta Phi Epsilon. Lastly, I have three nieces and two nephews. They have been my motivation to not give upon my dreams because I want them to know they can do anything they put their mind to. Chrissy, Tyler, Tara, Amanda and Blake, keep going and don't stop until your dreams become reality.
