Come Party with...Alex Richardson

Alex Richardson has been a person of imagination since he was a child. Writing short stories and aspiring to be an actor, as a child he never knew what avenues to take to unleash that talent. After the military, he became an undercover narcotics detective where he worked the mean streets of Gary, Indiana. That’s where his life made the turn to writing novels. Alex wrote a book about his life undercover in his first novel. After receiving praise for his true crime novel, Alex decided to pen his first urban fiction title. When the cries for more novels came, Alex focused on writing to please his fans. He is known as a man of many genres, writing everything from urban fiction, erotica, and true crime to suspense thrillers. Alex writes to please readers and have them feel as if they are in the story. He wants them glued to a seat, couch, bed or bath and not wanting to move as they read his novels.

  
Why did you choose to participate in this literary event?  I choose to be a part of the event because I love meeting readers and interacting with them. Also because I was at the event last year as a guest and had a great time and want to help OOSA continue to help our literary world move forward in a positive way.

  
What is your favorite pajama party game/memory? When we had to mention five movies actors played in. You could tell people knew them but when they were chosen to speak their minds went blank. "Name five movies Denzel played in." Over seven people got it wrong including myself.

  
What are your favorite pair of pajamas? My favorite pajamas are simply cool ones. I hate being hot while sleeping.

  
What are you most looking forward to at the Pajama Party? I'm looking forward to seeing the ladies of OOSA, readers, and authors who I met last year for the first time and new readers as well. Oh, yeah and most of all fans of mine who are traveling to see me for the first time.

Come Party With Justin 'Amen' Floyd

Justin Floyd's life is a book.  A book that you won’t be able to put down until after you’ve absorbed and digested every sentence, every single word.  Page after page, chapter after chapter of tears, laughter, poverty, incarceration, anger, oppression, pain and change.  After being sentenced to 10 years for bank robbery, he continued to unconsciously rebel against the system.  Then he discovered the power of words.  Writing allowed him a brief reprieve from the stifling, oppressive, violent environment in which he lived.

And so Justin started writing.  It became his escape, his salvation.  Learning that he had the ability to make people feel his words, his stories, let him know that he could be something else besides a career criminal.  Writing allowed him the ability to change and also gave him another avenue to express his anger at a system that had stacked the deck against him and so many others like him.

Why did you choose to participate in this literary event?  I chose to be a part of this literary event because I attended the previous year, and not only had a great time, but also had a chance to connect with readers and other authors in a less formal setting. Basically, I had a great time.

What is your favorite pajama party game/memory? My favorite game was the one where authors were given a word and had to use everything EXCEPT words to get their team members to guess what that word was.

What are your favorite pair of pajamas? I don’t have a favorite pair of pajamas…I sleep naked.

What are you most looking forward to at the Pajama Party? I’m looking forward to connecting with the many readers, authors, and book clubs that will be attending from all over the country. I'm also looking forward to being a featured author. Lol

Come Party With Chris Renee

Chris Renee

Chris Renee was born and raised in St. Louis, MO. Early on she had hopes of becoming a journalist with emphasis in entertainment. However, after becoming a teenage mother, she selflessly put her own dreams aside to raise her young family. After years of working in the field of medical insurance she had considered that dream as a distant memory. It wasn’t until she was introduced into the world of blogging did she re-ignite her passion for writing. After building a huge fan base on several blogs she decided to transform one of the popular blogs into a book.

She currently still resides in the St. Louis area with her family where she is writing for Delux Magazine and currently working on her second fictional novel as well as a motivational book for teenagers.
