Born into a family of newspaper writers, I spent more than two decades in print journalism before moving to a digital platform. I love the endless possibilities that can be found online and the many ways that information can be presented.

From traditional narrative to photo essay to video story to social media curation, I can tell a tale on any platform. I created elissabass.com to connect us.

“HAPPY HOUR is a sparkling novel with one of the bravest, most fascinating heroines you'll ever meet. Elissa Bass has created indelible characters, psychologically rich and true. She writes with wit and irony, with an open heart, and with the ability to make this poignant story in a seductive seaside setting read like a thriller. I couldn't stop turning the pages, and I'll admit that I was beaming through tears more than once. HAPPY HOUR has just become one of my favorite novels!"
