The Extended Afterparty

Written by Julia Knox

Narrated by Amy Maples

When Christy Hunter finds herself on a massive oil tanker for hot-shot A-list movie star David Price’s birthday party, she expects the only excitement she’ll encounter that night is the $2,000 check she’s getting for her gig as a hired “Chick.”

David Price is used to the yes-men in his life, and he’s used to everyone wanting something from him. That’s why a film student’s honest words about his most recent movie leave him immediately hooked.

Their unexpected night of romance on a nearby yacht takes a turn, though, when they awake the following morning, bobbing alone in the middle of the ocean, the tanker nowhere in sight. Can this thrown-together duo come together to survive until they’re rescued? Or will their disagreements be the anchor that drags them down?

Julia Knox

Julia Knox is a lifelong resident of the Pacific Northwest with a background in the arts and legal professions. Living in such a beautiful area, she enjoys a good hike and stargazing — at least when rain clouds don’t cover the sky. On those drizzly days, she stays in with a good book on her lap and an interesting album on the turntable or a new recipe to experiment with, to her friends and family’s delight (or disappointment).

Reviews for The Extended Afterparty

[judy griffin · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Not a good writer

[Caitlyn Dare · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

A wholly unrealistic scenario that maybe could've been overlooked if there was anything else actually likeable here. If your story is so obviously unrealistic then don't continue to focus on irrelevant details that only further serve to illustrate how little you know about the subject. Very rude and unlikeable know-it-all female character, no chemistry or romance between the two characters, no growth anywhere. Overall very disappointing writing.
